Hotel aligns with the boutique old Charleston theme. However, I do think the reception staff and managerial staff need to smarten up for the price paid. E.G the receptionist could not help with any old town tours information, only a local bus service route.

Celebrating our 31 anniversary and from the moment we drove up we were catered too. The bellhop, the front desk, and housekeeping were all amazing. The complimentary wine and coffee were nice touches. Convenient to all the sights of old Charleston. We will definitely return.

Nice location, tired room
Overall the property was fine It did not meet our expectation for cleanliness and the room in the piazza was tired and needed updating. Our ac unit was not working upon arrival and the room was 78 degrees. The problem was rectified but a Freon leak should have been detected earlier. The bathroom had a moldy shower curtain. The common rooms and grounds were quite nice. The restaurant was upscale with a diverse menu. Overall a good stay but I will try other properties next time we visit the area.

We had an excellent stay at the Planters Inn. The staff was excellent. We came from Asheville after Helene and we got a warm welcome, including Prosecco and delicious coconut cake. The location is great and the rooms are nice and comfy.

The surprise charges were not nice ($60 per day for what?). Street sounds quite loud. The facility is showing its age.
Employees were very nice and responsive.
Dinner was good, but not outstanding as it has been in the past.
