Better options in Charleston
The good:location and very helpful front desk staff. The hotel is very nicely appointed. Complimentary coffee in the am (no coffee pot in room) Nevertheless at over $400 per night we had a 1st floor room facing a street and wall. At night the light from the street lamps came into the room from the top of the curtains. There was constant activity in the lobby and had to navigate through crowds to exi the hotel. Could not get near the bar on any of the 3 nights we stayed. Also after a long day of travel could not get into the hotel restaurant until late as it was booked with reservations. bathroom was nice, linens and pillows good but mattress was lumpy.

Great location, disappointing room
The first floor common areas were very good. Excellent restaurant and bar. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our room was subpar. Poorly decorated, very dark. The bed was not comfortable. The fixtures in the bathroom were literally falling off.

New favorite Charleston hotel
My husband and I stayed at the Emeline for his birthday and absolutely loved it!! The courtyard is so beautiful and the decor throughout the hotel and restaurant is lovely. The bed was super comfortable and the linens luxurious. You can’t beat the location. We will definitely stay again any time we’re in Charleston!

Excellent stay in SC
The stay is amazing!!! Clean environment and nice staffs. First time South Carolina trip with great stay, next time I will recommend my friends to stay here! They have bottles in the room, sparkling water and water provided! I lived on the 2 nd floor, I was worried that it gonna be noise in the low level but it’s not. The market street close early, won’t affect you!

6/10 Good

For a high end hotel, they didn’t hire enough people to work the valet parking and no porter to help with luggage to the front desk or room. The coffee machine in our floor wasn’t working for our two nights stay. The room and closet space are tiny for the price.

Beautiful and Thoughtful Hotel
Such a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful hotel and such thoughtful detailed amenities. Details like the water bottles and each floor having a water dispenser, coffee station on every floor and the complimentary drinks. We especially loved the complimentary bikes that we used to ride through Charleston. Would love to come back again

Cute and Cozy
Amazing boutique hotel right in the heart of all the downtown sights. Really cool mod centry modern decor. Great amenities with a restaurant and coffee shop in the building. Complementary coffee and water machine on every floor. Rooms are very clean and comfortable. Lots of spaces to hang out and enjoy a coffee or drink from the bar, or work at the tables.

8/10 Very good

It's a very nice hotel however... If there's is an event or private function be prepared to be treated second best. They heavily prioritize groups and leave regular patrons feeling a little left pushed aside. While we were there two floors had water fountains out of service. Last but not least the standard rooms are SMALL. I mean REALLY small. It was pretty disappointing. We've stayed here a few times and each day was nice... But not without it's challenges.

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is very nice. Our room view was of the outside courtyard. All lit up in Christmas decor. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy much of the property amenities as we just needed a place to stay after a work holiday party downtown. The only complaint is the parking. Valet is $55/night. On street is free only until 5am. Was not going to get up that early to move my car. And the parking garage a block away was not operating so we parked in another garage three blocks away.
