It’s a 100 year old Hotel. Go with this in mind and understand logistics of small bathrooms, still spotless. Our room was large, 1 bed, very nice, had safe, refrigerator & coffee maker which we never used because coffee/ hot water for tea in lobby every morning. Nice touch because nothing is comped in Charleston. Flavored water & cookies afternoon. Renovation work on exterior affected 1 wall only. Interior unaffected. Starbucks in hotel lobby. Adjacent corners have Walgreens Drug store and park with year long events. We did self park for convenience and had 0 problems.

Very small beds
Yes, we were warned about the facade being worked on, but the NOISE was every day, over the course of 5 days, even without the construction. We were on the other side of the building and had incessant HVAC noise, and the scaffolding banging against the building in the wind (even on non-working days). We paid additionally for parking "on site" which wasn't really on site, then had a problem with the garage nearly every day: broken elevator, garage full (so I guess no reserved spaces for the hotel), one day there was a marathon (so garage closed) and another a parade. We found out about the garage closure the night before parade day with a sign in the elevator. That was it. Sign said we wouldn't be able to get out of the garage from 10:30 - 4:30, so we moved to another garage (at our expense) only to find the garage completely accessible when we returned from sightseeing at 1:30.
