Such an amazing time spent at the hotel for the charleston open. Between the exceptional room service to the morning breakfast, whom the amazing blonde host was so attentive and helpful every morning. This place is truly a dream, Sam H was also such a bright light of an employee.

Impeccable service. Professional, friendly, and a truly genuine staff. Everyone seems to go above and beyond in the performance of their duties making you feel as though you are their most important guest.

I left three books on a bedside table and came back to find that housekeeping had placed a stitched, leather CP bookmark on top of the short pile. I left my glasses case on the bureau and went out for a walk and came back to find a square envelope tucked underneath, containing a CP cleaning cloth. Perhaps you see these as little things, but to me, they point to the emphasis that The Charleston Place places on truly outstanding customer service. Step out of an Uber and by the time you get to the front door, you’re greeted by name. I came in early (on a red-eye flight) and was in my room by 11:00 am. And the room was spacious, well-appointed, and comfortable. Yes, there was noise from ongoing construction. That will end soon. And I’d very happily visit again.

Beautiful facility; horrible experience. The physical facility is one of the top hotels we’ve been to. The staff was untrained and could not clear the valet area so we had to park in a city garage 3 blocks away and carry our bags on a city street. Construction noise on the ceiling of our room was unbearable. Our dinner reservation had been booked for a week before they realized the restaurant was not even open that night. An attendant woke us up delivering towels to the wrong room.

It was great to be greeted by Sam. We especially loved the Palmetto breakfast with Alicia and Jacqueline. Such a positive and great tennis experience. This is our 4th year and looking forward to next year!!! CP is top notch fine hotel. I especially thank American Express for promoting this hotel!!! Have a blessed Easter!!! Hastings Family. PS Valet and front desk and cleaning crew were all spectacular!

I traveled with my family (husband, and two children ages 2 and 4) on a Luxury Link auction package to Charleston Place in August. True good service is making travel effortless for the visitor, and Charleston Place delivered. There was no problem in bringing our children. We arrived about an hour before official check-in, but our room was ready and keys were given. Concierge had pre-printed directions to many of the sites. Finally, our Luxury Link credits for spa and dinner was automatically applied at check-out, so the check-out sheet that I received the morning of departure already had the correct amount that needed to be charged. Effortless! The Club floor included an expanded continental buffet breakfast, as well as drinks and finger foods throughout most of the day. This was very convenient and the breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres were particularly extensive. What makes Charleston Place stand out from myriad other places to stay in Charleston - many more historic or quaint or intimate - is the amenities offered. The pool with surrounding deck and kiddie pool is a very pleasant spot. The spa treatments were wonderful and very professional. Dinner at Charleston Grill was our favorite meal of the trip. The flavors were complex and fresh - this is not your typical fried and heavy Southern cuisine. I can see Charleston Place appealing to business travelers, couples needing pampering, families with older children, and yes, families with young children. All in all, a service-oriented hotel in a wonderful location with superior amenities and appealing to many different types of travelers.
