    Easy check in process and appreciated the 1200 checkout. We were able to utilize the pool area later in the morning before checkout. Valet was easy and helpful. The room was clean, well kept and quiet. We even had a balcony that overlooked Bay Street. Just a fantastic hotel.

    Unfortunately, there was a water leak that set off the fire alarm at 4:30 am the first night. ( No one’s fault, but it does make you wonder about maintenance).We were outside for about an hour, the fire trucks came promptly. Some people had to be relocated, but since water was ‘only coming through the ceiling in the bathroom”, we were asked to stay in our room (indoor rain).Maintenance did not shut off the water until after we left for sightseeing at 10am. We got back around 1:30pm and tried to take a nap because of the night before, and we awakened twice by people just entering our room without knocking. ( we had the indoor lock on so loud banging when they opened it AND the sign was on the door for do not disturb). When we let management know about the privacy invasion (this was an anniversary trip), we were told they were supposed to ring the doorbell 3 times before entering. They said they would send a bottle of champagne and they did not- not that it would have helped. Then the fire alarm went off again. we went downstairs, ‘it was just a reset’. No communication whatsoever or that we should plan to be out of the room for any specified time while they addressed clean up issues. Never once did anyone apologize for the inconvenience or try to make it up in any way ( snack at the Pavillion while clean up went on or anything) even when we checked out nothing was mentioned. I will never stay here again! While no one’s fault, the situation aftermath was not handled well.

    The hotel is beautiful, traditional yet not dated, the staff was so friendly and welcoming and the location was perfect. We loved that there was coffee, pastries and fresh fruit set out on our floor in the morning. There is really nothing we didn’t like. The only issue we had is the tv was on when we got into our room after check in and we could not find a tv remote anywhere in the room to turn off the television or change the channel. It took a couple requests for a remote but that honestly was minor and nothing against the hotel or staff.

    The staff was great. The service they provided was amazing. The room was nice and so was the bathroom. The breakfast on each floor. There were stains on our sheets and blanket, a weird smell coming from my side of the bed. I wasn’t sure if it was coming from the nightstand, carpet, or chair. There was no windows, which made it feel claustrophobic. The toilet handle felt like it was breaking off. I requested my sheets and bathroom cleaned and it was not done.

    Everything was lovely other than the entry goon. After dinner we went for a walk and my son put on a Gap sweatshirt. When we returned an incredibly rude employee confronted us demanding to know where we were going. You have to walk through a restaurant and bar to get through to the hotel and elevators. He was extremely rude with no apology when we explained we were staying at the hotel. The valet took forever. Other than that, it is a nice hotel. With so many other options in Charleston, I will not stay there again.

    There was so much about this hotel that we truly loved! The room was spacious, the bath was as well. The turn-down service was such a nice touch with the fresh cookies (Greek butter cookies!!) every night along with fresh bottles of water. The staff was very accomodating and welcoming too. Each morning the availability to have coffee, fresh squeezed juices, fruit and pastries down the hall from our room, without having to go to the lobby, was fantastic!. My favorite was the carrot muffin - delicious and moist! All the little things were very nice and appreciated. The rooftop pool and bar were a nice escape when the weather warmed up. Great view for the sunset! With all that was great, there were only small things that were on the downside. One was the air conditioning which never seemed to keep the room cold. I tend to need a cold room to sleep....so this could just be a preference to me. I actually went and purchased a fan to help circulate the air. At times, the AC would either be turned to a warmer temp while we were out or it automatically did this and we would return to a warm room, which then took a long time to cool back off. Additionally, we had to wait for nearly 25 minutes for our car from the valet which just appeared that they forgot to go get it. The biggest disappointment was the dinner at the in house restaurant which was not that awesome. While listed as one of America's best steakhouse, we were sad to be served our steak which was overcooked, and while still tasty it was more to the Medium Well vs. Medium Rare. The server did not offer to exchange so we just made due. Ultimately the meal was underwhelming overall.

We would definitely stay here again. One caveat: it’s well located downtown, so expect some bachelorette parties returning from a night out at 2 am.

Valet was a great experience too, I called down 10 min before I would depart to have my car ready, they park them in a lift so it takes time. Also if you order room service, it adds a $20 delivery fee. That was something that was clearly stated on the menu, but I didn't realize that until I ordered, so heads up. Excellent sleeping quarters and very very convenient to all Charleston fun! Very happy with my stay!

    For the price, this hotel is “just fine.” Nothing special or particularly interesting about it, the staff is okay, room is nice. Turndown service never showed up and the front desk simply said, “sorry, I’ll let them know” which wasn’t helpful at all. There were no little extras nor was there anything memorable other than I have $500+ less than I did yesterday. I will not remember this hotel.

    Conveniently located downtown. We walked everywhere. The food in Grill 225 was amazing! Jimmy is a great server with a fun personality. Our room was immaculate. We had a nice balcony. Can't go wrong with free pastries and coffee in the morning, cookies in the afternoon and little biscuits with turn down service. Love the noon check out time. It was a great experience.

    The hotel was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Did not eat at the 225 restaurant. The Pavilion Bar drinks were good pours, but the food is basically bar food. In my opinion not worth the cost. The bed linens were great, but the bed mattress sloped down on either side so it was hard to find a position where I didn’t feel like I was sliding off the bed. Needs a new mattress. At checkout I found a $36 charge for watching TV!! What a rip off. In all my travels I’ve never been charged for watching regular TV channels. It really is a lovely property, but if I return to Charleston I won’t be staying here.

    Excellent location just across from the city market, a short walk to the carriage tours and surrounded by numerous restaurants. You can easily walk around old Charleston from here including along the waterfront. Staff is fantastic; very accommodating and extremely friendly. Hotel itself is beautiful and the rooftop pool/bar/restaurant has great views of the city and the waterfront.

    Another day, after exploring Charleston, we returned to find housekeeping had left our room door wide open. The front desk associate was kind and the Director of Housekeeping personally apologized and checked in afterward, but when I later mentioned it to the on-site manager, Teresan, she denied it ever happened—which left a bad taste. The bar was equally disappointing. We sat at an empty bar for 10 minutes while the older bartender ignored us and focused on cutting fruit. When he finally looked up, he said he needed to get more fruit and never took our order. This was especially disheartening as we had just gotten engaged and wanted to celebrate with a bottle of Veuve. Thankfully, Elisha, another bartender, was fabulous and truly the highlight of the hotel. At checkout, after multiple failed attempts to reach the GM, Teresan waived our valet fees but also told me that Pavilion Market “is not a 5-star hotel.” At $500 a night, that statement summed up the gap between what they promise and what they deliver.

    The hotel is beautiful. Such character and charm! The bed was so comfy. The room was quiet with such dark window coverings for night that we slept like babies (and we usually cant in a hotel). Complimentary Coffee and fruit/pastries in the morning was a yummy start to the day. The rooftop pool was the perfect break during hot sightseeing days! All of the staff was so friendly (shout out to Devin and the other bartender). Everything is very walkable from the hotel. We truly enjoyed our stay.

    Stayed 3 nights! It’s an older hotel but they have maintained it really well and has the aesthetic that is older southern class! Maybe short staffed? Valet was a bit of a struggle just because they were swamped. Hotel pool was very clean. Not much seating and people come and put stuff down to save seats then don’t use them which is frustrating if the pool is something you’re wanting to enjoy. All that to say we would definitely stay again! Staff was super friendly

    We loved this hotel. It was beautiful, having a very old world feel. There was a pretty big disappointment for me, as the pool closed due to chemical problems. This was my primary reason for choosing this hotel. This was an anniversary trip without kids and the hope of enjoying swimming without kids being all over me was would have been amazing. I had hoped to enjoy swimming and cocktails on the rooftop. There is little shade up there and a pool is very needed to get that experience. I would have appreciated a back up alternative, as I was informed there are day passes available at other pools but at 2:00 on the day we tried to go to the pool, it was too late. We had allocated 2 afternoons to pool time. The hotel did provide $100 per day credit but when you are really expecting a book in a place as hot as Charleston for the poolside experience, this was pretty disappointing.

    Absolutely perfect location. Easy to walk to historic district, French quarter, popular restaurants and shopping. Charleston market right next door. Loved our double balcony luxury room. A little noisy as they opened to the market side. Room was a little rough looking for being recently renovated. Great shower/bath. Wished the balconies were large enough for chairs but they allowed for lots of fresh air and views. Rooftop bar/pool provided stunning city and sunset views. Staff were awesome and really took time to ensure you had all you needed. Very thoughtful. Enjoyed the coffee and daily fresh pastries on each floor at breakfast.

Our room was elegant and comfortable, and every detail was thoughtfully taken care of.

We can’t wait to come back—highly recommended for a romantic getaway or special occasion!

Coffee, tea, fruit and pastries are available on each floor by the elevators in morning. Cookie plates are on each floor in the afternoon. Staff is polite, valet service is fast, and the food on the rooftop is delicious.
