very good, not as great as usual bc of renovations
the service at charleston place stands alone and is superb.
we were a little disappointed that the pool was closed for renovations and nobody told us ahead of time. would have been nice to know, the real reason we pick charleston place in the winter is for the pool (kids). otherwise, it was a great stay as usual.

Wonderful, relaxing stay at a beautiful hotel
We had a wonderful stay here. Staff were over the top friendly and helpful.
Rooms are getting a bit tired and furniture soiled, but they are doing a complete renovation.
Beautiful Christmas decor. The location is great!

Charleston trip
Rooms are dark and could use some updating. I was awoken very early my first morning by the alarm clock in the room next to mine. I had to call the front desk to get it turned off. Not sure if housekeeping should be clearing alarms when they turnover the room. Long travel day and early wake up call made my first day a little exhausting. Hotel was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Couldn’t find a vending machine with drinks anywhere which would have been appreciated.
