    “Stay was excellent. Person at check in was a little less than welcoming. She said she had never heard of Expedia VIP perks, and was definitely not interested in finding out anything about it. Rest of the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Property is beautiful, loved the location! Ate lunch in the rooftop restaurant, very good. We have been to Charleston many, many times. This was our 1st stay at The Restoration. We will definitely come back. ”

    “The positives are that it is in a good location and our 2 br suite was large with a full kitchen (minus skillets and pans). However we were very disappointed with the condition of our suite/apt. The drain in the shower was clogged. The chandelier in the dining area just flickered and acted as if it had a short. We had 2 giant cockroaches and newspaper by the couch that was over a week old. Two days housekeeping came and didn’t take wet dirty towels on the bathroom floor. They sent them back upon complaint and they tidied the bathroom but didn’t dust a thing or vacuum so we were allergic. The walls are paper thin so if your neighbors aren’t quiet at night don’t expect to sleep. We had a non stop crying baby at all hours. We also heard a phone off of the hook. Breakfast isn’t really breakfast. Lots of carbs and sugar and little to no protein. The portions were very small. Service , including the front desk manager, were not customer service oriented and frankly the most apathetic of anywhere else I have ever stayed (except night front desk person was great) Also if steps are an issue definitely don’t stay here they are everywhere without rails and very poor lighting. ”

    “Very cool hotel. Ideal location. But the building is old and mold was everywhere. You could smell it when you walked into our unit. Even the food they served (breakfast fruit) had mold on it. ”

    “From the moment we checked in everyone was over the top kind and accommodating. The breakfast basket arrived every morning with breakfast goodies and the hotels over type service was amazing ! There is a rooftop bar and restaurant with gorgeous views of Charleston (food wasn’t our fav but was ok) and a sweet little coffee shop attached for convenient lattes and coffee in the morning. We loved the charm of this hotel and will be staying again for sure. ”

    “The hotel was poorly maintained i.e., missing grout and mold in the shower, scuffed walls, corners and baseboards, burned out lightbulbs. Amenities were crowded with locals not staying on the property. Would not recommend this hotel at this price point. ”
