Our first time to Charleston and loved our stay at The Spectator. The staff is excellent here and the room and bath were large and stocked with complimentary extras daily from snacks to coffee and soft drinks you don't see in high end hotels or most anywhere for that matter. The bar is lively and fun for that nightcap.

Great location, service and hotel. This was our first time in Charleston and I would recommend staying here to anyone visiting town. The hotel decor is welcoming and the rooms are very clean. The standout was the personalized service and attention to detail the staff made during each interaction. Standouts were the reception with Wade and breakfast service in the bar with Darrel! Thank you for making us feel so welcomed.
