We absolutely love this hotel! The service was unbelievable! The value is great! Picnic basket delivered to your door every morning, wine hour, chocolate chip cookies at night and the most helpful staff! Beautiful rooftop bar restaurant. Free cheese, crackers, nonalcoholic beverages provided in the refrigerator. I would definitely return again.

Such a wonderful spot! Very quiet, clean & super friendly staff. Breakfast basket every morning placed outside our door, wine & cheese every evening & cookies / milk at night. Within walking distance of everything. We’ll be back!

What a great hotel. We had a studio apt for our room, extremely clean and well maintained. Very quiet. Lives the breakfast basket every morning. They had this awesome coffee shop and you could sit in the library and chill. Absolutely loved everything about it.

We really enjoyed the pool that was like a giant hot tub on the roof. Our one bedroom was spacious for 3 people. The staff was very nice and we enjoyed the three free jeep rides!

Our stay at The Restoration was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. The combination of outstanding service, thoughtful amenities, & genuinely warm staff made this an unforgettable stay. From arrival, the hospitality was exceptional. The hotel held our bags before check-in so we could explore Charleston, & when we returned, our luggage had already been delivered to our room. Small details like this made everything effortless. The highlight of our visit was Lasharia at the front desk. We interacted with her daily, and she was consistently warm, welcoming, efficient, and genuinely hospitable. She made us feel like family and truly elevated our stay. The hotel surprised me with a complimentary charcuterie board for my birthday, along with thoughtful touches like complimentary beverages & pimento dip with crackers. Our room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and very comfortable. The bed was incredibly cozy, and the oversized plush robes were a real luxury. One of our favorite amenities was the breakfast baskets delivered each morning, with fresh fruit and a rotating breakfast item that made mornings enjoyable. Library Hour was another highlight - William provided excellent hospitality during the wine & cheese gathering. The complimentary Jeep service around the peninsula was another unique and appreciated perk. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and committed to making our stay special. We would gladly return & highly recommend it!!

The amenities were exceptional and made our stay feel extra special: a lovely happy hour, late-night warm chocolate chip cookies and milk, breakfast delivered each morning, and a thoughtfully prepared picnic basket with plenty of healthy options. The complimentary Jeep transportation within a two-mile radius was such a nice perk. Jack, Lucas, and H were especially friendly, welcoming, and eager to help in any way possible. Matthew, the manager, was truly outstanding and made a lasting impression with his attentiveness and hospitality. Our room was very spacious, spotless, and comfortable. We also loved the rooftop restaurant, The Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits — delicious food and a great atmosphere. The location couldn’t have been better — just half a block from King Street, making it easy to walk to restaurants, shopping, and attractions. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Charleston!

The staff at the Restoration were extremely helpful and friendly. They made our stay enjoyable. The breakfast basket each morning was very nice and a great way to start the day. When we got back home, I hope to open our front door and it’s see a basket! Lol. A great service provided was the Jeep, which shuttled us around to the farthest places we went without actually having to get an Uber and allowed us to walk only half as much as we would have had to. The drivers were outstanding and very friendly. The service staff who cleaned our rooms were very friendly and did a great job. The rooftop bar called the watch was a great place to view the city and get a good meal.The only negative we experienced was some maintenance and upkeep in our room. Lighting in the bathroom was dim because half the lights did not function. Also the towel racks were dangling from the walls. The showerhead probably could use replacement because the mineral buildup prevented a complete flow. Overall, we enjoyed our experience very much and would recommend this very large room that we had which was about 800 ft.², to anyone looking for a weeklong stay like we had.

The one-bedroom residence was spacious, clean, and beautiful. The free NA drinks and breakfast baskets were a nice touch.

Amazing place! Only negative was the unit above us has little kids running back and forth for hours.

Wonderful stay! Staff was very attentive and personable. We enjoyed our studio although I wish the view was better(faced buildings and alley). Very clean, quaint and affordable downtown property. Breakfast baskets were a great touch and delicious! We used the jeep twice and it was a flawless execution. Rise coffee shop is a great addition the library was spectacular!
