I enjoyed the experience at the spectator hotel. i went with my husband and kids and the staff noticed my kids and gave them a coloring book and colored pencils. We also had a small bag left on our door by our butler Jerry with the same thing and a hand written note that said “for the little ones”. Our butler also wrote down restaurant recommendations after telling him the type of food we enjoyed. I could keep going, but this hotel was a nice different experience!

The service and butlers are amazing. The hotel truly is there to make u happy and helpful. The interior of the hotel is beautifully done. Our room spacious. They give complementary breakfast in your room, a delicious cocktail to welcome you, every night they brought us a small artisan shot to relax and they had a bottle chilled for us (our anniversary) They truly spoil you which is awesome !
Really nothing you are walking distance to anything

This hotel exceeded my expectations. The location was fantastic. Decor and design awesome. All staff (from cleaning to butler to valet driver) were exceptional. Rooms and mini fridge offerings were such a welcomed treat. Turn down service and evening hotel ambiance was swoon worthy. This was the perfect upleveled home away from home experience in such a vibrant city. We can't wait to return and share our recommendation of this hotel with our traveling friends and family. Bravo Spectator!!
Nothing! Exceeded my expectation in all regards!

Very classy hotel – very comfortable beds,clean rooms, fantastic service with a butler bringing your breakfast every morning! We truly loved our stay, and the staff were the best!
I think the breakfasts could’ve been a bit fresher, and the food could be hotter when served, but it was really special having the breakfast in the room. It would be nice if they varied the menu a bit as well.

I have made a suggestion which I have listed below. Other than that one suggestion, our visit was very special and perfect in every way. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the moment we first arrived. thank you. I have already recommended your hotel to a family member who visits Charleston regularly.
There were two pillows on the bed both were the same loft. I wish one of the pillows was a little less lofty. .

The butler service is amazing. Will was very knowledgable about all the things you need to know about Charleston and what to do, where to eat etc. Darryl made our mornings brighter with his good spirit and joy he brings with the breakfast. We also loved the beach package for our trip to the beach. A personal highlight was how they helped celebrating my birthday - truly extraordinary.

The location and overall experience was the best of our last three stays in comparison to 20 Battery, John Rutledge Inn. The butler experience was interesting but for my preference less time in the room is better. Well done and great personality. The room was great and the complimentary beverages and snacks were an excellent touch and very good. Love the in room coffee as well. Valet parking a big plus for u as well.

We loved the charming feel of this boutique hotel. The included mini bar was a lovely touch with the little treats and the Nespresso coffee maker. The main floor bar was a comfy place to have breakfast or a drink.
We had the included breakfast there on 2 of our 3 mornings and it was just ok. Realize this is not a restaurant but the breakfast could be improved.

The location is fantastic. Highly rated bar in the hotel. The staff were on point through the whole stay. The butler services and free breakfast every day comes with the stay as well.
The workout room is in the sister hotel (the Loutrel) next door. The hotel menu for in-room dining is limited to bar bites which were largely carbs/bread options. I don't think there was anything substantive in terms of a meal.

The Concierge Lane was amazing helping me organising our stay. The room was really timeless and confortable conceived, the minibar is inclusive. The location is great, just right close to the market in the center. The breakfast is served in the room and even though you don’t have too many options, the things served have great quality and the team answered to our change requests . Overall we loved our stay and we definitely stay again next time at the Spectator
We didn’t find a use for the butler. For sure could be something nice but if you just stay for a night, I guess you just don’t need it. The breakfast system is not out favorite, since we love to have a big variety. In this Hotel there are just few options but we ask for some changes and they were all attended. So we were satisfied. We still think it’s a little bit pricey, but the overall the experience was great.
