Outstanding in every way. Service better than in the Four Seasons, Montage, etc. They even proactively made us snack bags for a day out! Jim is the absolute best. Bar is great too! Don’t miss the Silence of the Yams cocktail. Sounds weird, but is so fantastic we went back twice! Very well balanced and not overly sweet.

From the moment we arrived until we departed, the staff and service were impeccable. Every extra detail made to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable was greatly appreciated. The bed was extremely comfortable! Having a complimentary mini-bar was very nice after a long day of touring Charleston. Couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant experience.
