Boutique Hotel Graces Meeting Street in Charleston
Another Meeting Street motel renovated with class and charm in the heart of Charleston's Historic District. The rooms boast a cool, clean minimalist yet cozy design, the front desk staff during our March 20-23 stay were beyond compare, and the house-designed welcome cocktail and nice surprise. We'll be back!

8/10 Very Good

It was nice. Wasn’t expecting the extra “resort” charge of $30. Plus $45 a night to park the car.

6/10 Good

Go to different hotel
Great location. Bed was comfortable. No frills room. Lacking in extra blankets and pillows for room. Ac was off temperature so my husband checked the filter. It was digusting. Probably had not been changed in over 6 months and wrong size. When we told the front desk he said he would tell someone. Noone ever came to replace filter. Their destination/amenities fee of $29 a day is a joke. We never received the "cocktail upon arrival" were not told their was a cocktail hour, so never went to it. Did not use the yoga mat in room, which is actually gross. I was told by desk clerk the fee pays for the coffee bar daily, we did not use, the pool, it is February, and the $10 daily credit to the restaurant. So they never had to issue us $40 in food credits, yet were charged 129 in amenities. Total joke. Not worth the 338 we were charged daily. Would not stay again. Better hotels that offer more for cheaper.

Fantastic location and wonderful staff! However, we felt the resort fee and $45 parking fee was excessive.
