This is the 4th or 5th time staying here. The staff is always amazing. They go above and beyond. Girl’s trip, romantic trip - it is the perfect hotel and location. There are many wonderful options in CHS - this is one I will continue to return to and share with family and friends.

Wow! Excellence personified. 5 star service, Amazing staff, especially Michelle our butler and Wade, the valet crew, front desk welcome cocktail, the welcome bottle of wine and turn down service with the tiramisu and bushwhacker nightcap, the well thought out free snacks, and soft drinks. Great location. We love boutique hotels and Charleston is full of them. The Spectator exceeded our expectations and made it hard to try any place else the next time we visit…and we will be back. Thanks to everyone who made our trip very special. Continued success!

Beautiful boutique hotel with top notch service, comfortable well appointed rooms and excellent morning breakfast. We had to leave early one morning for a college visit and the staff had our breakfast ready by 6:30 am with our car waiting for us right outside the door. Another day, we headed to the beach and the staff put together beach gear for us that included towels, chairs and an umbrella. We loved the cereal area of the hotel as well. So much within a short walk.
