"Room was spacious, spotless and as depicted online upon entering! Lovely gentleman at check in ensured that we were informed about the hotel’s amenities; security, restaurant, patio and hotel coffee/pastry shop. A charming young gentleman was there upon check in, for much appreciated baggage and valet service. I feel that unfortunately this is a way of the past at some nicer establishments. My husband and I are mature retired travelers, with plenty of time and means to travel, the importance of a “present” caring supportive staff will have us returning again. This classic upscale, well maintained hotel, consistently does not disappoint. It’s close to everything. Skip the corporate chain hotels that are unfortunately creeping into the Charleston area; they seem to lack southern character, charm and attention to “detail”. These off site business conglomerate hotels are sparsely staffed, with rooms that are not as depicted online. Buyer beware! We stayed at one our last trip to Charleston, we won’t be returning.
It was ran down, dingy and expensive. Not at Ll as what was depicted online. The Planters Inn remains as a rare jewel, truly a classic southern charmer. Read the wonderful reviews!"
