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.

Loved our stay at this Beautiful hotel. Every detail is planned for a wonderful stay. Loved the rom setup and the towels. Continental breakfast on the floor and cookies in the afternoon with fresh fruit all day was delightful. The rooftop bar was amazing. The lobby restaurant was incredible. Best steak and sides on our trip to the South lease eat there. You will not regret it. Staff was incredible.

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.

"We are not a 5-star hotel," - On-site Manager

The valet was a nightmare. One evening we waited 25 minutes for our vehicle before the manager came out to say there was a problem and our car wouldn’t start. My fiancé walked to the garage and found the valet trying to start the wrong car. With one press of our key fob, our car lit right up—by then we had missed our engagement dinner. 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.
