The Vendue

We had a lovely stay at The Vendue hotel with our two dogs. We were very pleasantly surprised by how dog friendly the hotel was, with its staff attending to our dogs with smiles and treats. The hotel was immaculately maintained with excellent restaurant & bar options on-site. We will certainly be back as guests with our dogs. Juan at the front desk was exceptionally wonderful- we nicknames him Uncle Juan.

They were so accommodating and helpful my entire trip! Beautiful hotel.

Whatever you do, do not Priceline a 4-star hotel in Charleston because you will risk a terrible experience. They hate Priceline so they will put you in the worst room they have, which is actually across the street at the Enclave. It is damp and moldy enough to make you sick, has no windows, nasty filthy carpet, grubby dirty streaks on the walls, mold growing in the shower. But that isn't the worst thing. The WORST thing is you won't get any sleep because you will be able to hear every single thing that transpires in the hallway and in the rooms on either side of you and on the floor above you.

The Vendue is a beautiful older building with eclectic modern art throughout. The location makes it easy to walk to most Charleston sites. The concierge staff was awesome and efficient. My wife and I enjoyed the food offerings at the hotel as well as many in the area.

Pluses: Pleasant staff, great location. Minuses: Some type of room essential was missing every single day - shower soap and shampoo or towels or condiments for the coffee; the area under the coffee station had not been wiped down, the room temperature ranged from warmish to comfortable but never cool; the toilet area had a faint smell of sewage.
