I stayed at The Vendue from Sunday through Wednesday this past week, and I had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Every single person I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about making guests feel at home. My room was spotless, and one of my favorite things about the hotel was all of the artwork. There are unique pieces displayed throughout the property, and I thought it was really cool that you can actually purchase them if something catches your eye. My room happened to be French Bulldog themed, which I loved because it immediately reminded me of my best friend, who's obsessed with French Bulldogs. Another thoughtful touch was that every morning they left a small bag of pastries and fruit outside my door. It was such a nice surprise to wake up to each day. I'm also someone who always keeps the "Do Not Disturb" sign on because I usually don't want housekeeping coming into my room. Instead of assuming, they texted me each day to confirm that I didn't need anything or want my room serviced. I really appreciated that they checked in without being intrusive. The location is excellent, the rates were very reasonable for what you get, and the overall experience exceeded my expectations. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at The Vendue again the next time I'm in Charleston. read more

The Vendue Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Stayed in The Vendue Art Hotel from 3/30-4/2/26. We opted to stay at the updated Vendue and chose a premium king room for the extra square footage and the ceiling fan (if you know, you know). What I loved about the hotel was the quirkiness. I wouldn't want to live in a house with a pug head for a door knocker, but it was fun for a couple nights! The location was also prime - right on East Bay for a quick walk to Market or down towards the water for an evening stroll past the pineapple fountain. I also really appreciated the early morning delivery of a muffin and croissant -- it was so nice to get my bag of goodies off the door handle and enjoy them while watching the morning news or puttering about in my pajamas. Even with all these delights, there were some drawbacks. The first room we were taken to had one chair -- whereas the room description included a desk and chair. I didn't need to write a novel, but with one chair and two people I'm not sure where they intended for us to eat breakfast. We also happened to be there in the midst of their conversion from one art theme to the next. So there were no evening gallery receptions or talks about the artwork (one of the selling features for us). This was also a quirky hotel for accessibility. To get to our room we went up in the elevator, then down a hall, down about 5 stairs, through a fire door across a stairwell landing and through another fire door to our room (one of two on our floor). I know that this would have been a difficult trek for my older parents, especially with luggage. Bottom line, it's a cute little hotel with a lot going for it. I might even stay there again the next time I'm in Charleston. read more

So there are two iterations of this hotel: the traditional vendue, which is modern, bright, and young, as well as the enclave, which is the newer, renovated rendition, quieter, more refined. I stayed at the traditional vendue in the premier king. I loved the quirky, artsy lobby, full of red velvet chairs, quirky modern art, and bright, sparkly paintings. The door-folk and staff are extremely informative and helpful. The lobby is welcoming and plush. Lots to look at, multiple chessboards to have fun with. My room was on the first floor, which was a bit of a pain, but it had all that I wanted, which was a soft, comfy bed and a good tub. Yes, the first night it took a while for the water to warm up and I had to let it run a few minutes to clear up (yes, it started out brown), but that's a known thing with older buildings. The clawfoot tub was great, really. I had a super warm, glowing fireplace. The robes really are one size fits all (I'm a curvy woman it was super comfy). And the bed was indeed superb. Housekeeping was amazing. Left a French breakfast hanging on our door each morning (croissants, butter, jam, fruit). Left cakes in our room each evening and turned down the beds. Even though I didn't leave the room until 10-ish, housekeeping still tidied up my room. There is a bit of a grandma smell, but that's okay. You get used to it. Location is perfect. Right next to the water, by the parks, near tons of attractions and restaurants. They also have a rooftop bar. The views aren't great, but love the vibe and the breeze. I paid about 1100 dollars for three nights. There are cheaper options, but not with the locations or amenities. read more

The art in the lobby is very cool, the rooftop is nice had decent drinks. My issue was the bathroom so small door wouldn't fully open so for a bigger guy 6' 240 couldn't close the bathroom for without squeezing in. The staff were super friendly and helpful. read more

We had a fantastic stay! The location is great for walking around (right by the pineapple fountain, battery, and rainbow row). If you're into art, they have art galleries in both buildings (Venue and Enclave). We stayed at the sister location (Enclave) and they had so many cool perks (milk & cookies every night, fruit and pastries delivered to every room each morning, sherry and brownies always at the lobby). We valeted our car and the valet guys were fantastic. Staff were incredibly kind and friendly. Would stay again! read more

Just came to check out the art and rooftop restaurant/bar. The art is my style so I thoroughly enjoyed exploring and talking to the staff. I'm an artist myself so would love to stay and have pieces in here someday. Didn't get to see the artist in residence space but enjoyed what we did see. The rooftop was beautiful and we were welcome by the artwork at the opening. read more

Southern hospitality + customer experience. Is the true highlight of this trip. Both Cameron and Virginia were amazing to work with. They helped me set up to have champagne and rose petals in my room for my wife. It was truly a magical experience. This is an old building so we could hear a lot of people in other rooms at night. But the location, service, and aumbiance out weight any slight negatives. We were welcomed with warm brownies and a glass of champagne. As well as warm cookies after our nightly adventures. read more

We've stayed at The Vendue a number of times, the first time being probably 25 years ago, when it looked very different. It used to look like you were stepping back into the parlor of one of the houses on the battery, including earthquake bolts from the 1800's in some of the rooms. Some of the guest rooms had canopy beds and all were quite romantic. I am southern and it was the epitome of old South beauty, grace and charm. It had a parlor like room off of the lobby where visitors sat, like they would have in olden days and the hotel served wine, cheese, crackers and grapes etc, and cookies at night. Guests used to sit and chat, play checkers and just relax. They now give out wine and later at night, they still have tasty cookies, but no one eats, drinks or really sits in the lobby because it is filled with some awful perfume or scent. Now the hotel looks like it belongs in Vegas. Red and black lacquer everywhere, in the lobby and rooms, the ladies room in the lobby is lit by red light bulbs, like a house of ill repute-see my photos. For some reason a designer seems to think this is a French look, but I think the French would be appalled. The French have beautiful understated tastes, think Christian Dior. I assure you, this is not what the French quarter of Charleston would have ever looked like. I sent some photos of the room and the lobby to a friend and she said that it looked like we were in a Disney hotel. She expected Mickey or Minnie to step out any moment. After that comment, that's all I could see -even the lobby floor and some fabrics in the furniture look like Alice and the white rabbit could show up. On top of that, if The Vendue management sees this review, please, please, please stop pumping that scent into the lobby. It's painful to just walk through to the elevator. All this said, the staff is wonderful. They're friendly, helpful and they must watch a video feed of the lobby because the minute you stop in the lobby they pop out from somewhere. There is no front desk. I'm glad for them, I would hate to have to spend my day in a lobby that was so heavily scented. I usually like scents, but this one burned my nose. I'd give the staff 5 stars and the look of the hotel one star since it is Charleston, since people come to Charleston for the southern beauty and charm. We think we'll look for a more Charleston charm-like place when we visit Charleston and save the red and black for our Disney visits and the lacquer for Vegas trips. If you are from other regions or countries, please don't think this look represents anything of Southern beauty or charm. It does not. read more

Oh so pretty, and filled with beautiful and funky art. We ate on the rooftop, and food was good. Water view of course. A little on the expensive side, but worth it. Be sure you explore the entire area for the fun vide and artwork. It reminds me of the 21C Museum and Hotel chain. Didn't actually stay here, so can't comment on rooms. But I'm betting they're cool. And the area is very walkable and full of fun things to do. read more

Great experience and location. Double charged me and crazy amount of fees and taxes unseen on Expedia

When I walked into our room at the Enclave at the Vendue Hotel in Charleston, I was sure our stay would be as lovely as the room. WRONG! The room phone was never fixed after the front desk was informed of the problem; the large palmetto bug under a towel in the bathroom was removed but no one bothered to clean up the obvious smear left on the floor from when it was killed; the valet service was extremely inconvenient since the link for retrieving your car seemed to communicate with no one; a promised voucher arrived in the mail with an expired expiration date that made it worthless and when this was pointed out, there was no replacement...the list could go on. I advise you not to stay at the Enclave at the Vendue. read more

We came here to relax for two nights and both nights after midnight. They had a fire alarm go off so I had to get dressed. My wife had to get dressed so we had to go outside for the false alarm that's two nights in a row. If you wanna come to a place where you won't need any rest this is the place. read more

Great experience. Customer service 10/10. The staff went above and beyond. I would definitely recommend this hotel and absolutely come back. Made us feel safe & comfortable. read more

Great hotel! We stayed at the Enclave at the Vendue Hotel for two nights. Check-in was smooth, and booking through their website got us some tickets for free drinks, a discount at their affiliated restaurants, and a late checkout at 2 PM. The hotel is filled with quirky art pieces. Our room was comfortable and had a spacious shower with good temperature control. They gave us a small bagged breakfast each morning, and there were snacks out in the lobby throughout the day and evening. Overall, we had a great stay at the Enclave, and I would recommend them for your stay in Charleston. read more

The lobby stinks of some chemical fragrance (smells like a cheap air freshener) they pump into the vents. I know why - our second floor hallway smells moldy and our room does too. The decor is cheap shock value. The staff is LOVELY but kept us waiting a half hour past 4pm check-in time although the room was ready. According to staff, we were waiting for inspection. They offer pretty good wine in the lobby perhaps to dull the experience that assaults the senses upon entry. Again - lovely staff. Horrible chemical lobby smell maybe to cover mold. Slight mold smell on second floor hallway and room. No bathtub. No concession area to buy a snack, toothbrush or large water. Disappointing - could be so much better! Room itself would be lovely if I didn't smell mold so distinctly. How about air purifiers? Ozone treatments? The chemical cover up In the lobby is pretty obvious. Again - staff is really helpful and so, so nice. Only upside to this place! read more

Disappointing- art was cool and overall ambiance- but amenities need some work! food was not removed for entire time- no small fridge to store charcuterie board they offer- towels scratchy. cable in and out whole time. seems nice but comfort is lacking read more

Sara and Nicholas!!!!! They made this place absolutely even MORE phenomenal than it already is. Sara has this beautiful, bright and bubbly energy that just fills the whole room and makes you feel so welcomed! Her laugh is infectious and I could have just talked to her all day. My hubby had to remind dad me that we had dinner plans, otherwise I would have been perfectly happy talking to Sara and laughing. Another thing that was so impressive and showed that Sara is this way with everyone is that a woman who also works here, I think she may be some sort of manager, stopped into Sara's area just to tell her how much she appreciates her beautiful laugh and energy. It's one thing to come from a client, but it's even more amazing when other coworkers have to compliment you as well. Nicholas is SO frickin cute and he has the best, most fun personality! When I sat on the couch he said, "Gee, your hand looks so empty," as if to say that I needed some champagne to fill it LOL! I LOVE HIM! He did this at the same time that I was about to ask for some champagne, so he beat me to the chase lol. We talked about shows that we liked and seriously, he was just the best way to end our night at this beautiful establishment. He is absolutely amazing!!! And speaking of BEAUTIFUL...there are no words for how eclectic and gorgeous this property is. The overall color theme seems to be gold-yellow with black and it truly works. There is such a cool, ecclectic, chill yet classy vibe here, and my hubby and I will definitely be back. We were greeted with a glass of champagne when we came and had a candy machine filled with yellow m&m's right outside the door of our room. We seriously are in love with The Enclave at Vendue and can't wait to come back. read more

Beautiful and original hotel. Welcome was awesome and they took care of everything. The room was also very nicely decorated, bougie style. The bathroom could have been better but was not bad at all.

The Vendue Hotel - Vie from rooftop - Hotels Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We stayed in the enclave on the first floor. The rooms are nice but we faced a parking lot that was loud in the AM. After being out all day we came back to the hotel at 3pm to loud banging and drills going off so taking a nap before dinner wasn't an option. It was very frustrating. read more

We stayed at this hotel for Labor Day weekend on our first trip to Charleston. The hotel itself is beautiful inside, small but in a French artsy motif. It is located in a great spot, near everything you may want to see in Charleston. No lack of restaurants or shopping in the area all within walking distance. A few things I would forewarn though is that you can pretty much hear anything and everyone from your room. The walls are super thin. It's dimly lit as we only had two lamps to light the entire room so it's very difficult to see what's in your suitcase and in my room in particular the air conditioner is very loud to the point if you're watching TV you may have to blast it a bit. However it was a beautiful room...mine was a bit small and no view so pay a little extra for a top floor room that faces the street. For the price on Labor Day I thought it was reasonable but I would probably stay somewhere else if I came back just to compare There is no pool or fitness center as it is a boutique hotel. They deliver a bag of pastries every morning which is kinda nice and always have free coffee and some additional pastries available all day. We enjoyed it but I can't give it 5 stars because of the other things I mentioned. Charleston is a great town and very expensive so make sure you're aware of that! read more

Fabulous location! Walk to anything & everything! We took advantage of all the fun offered except the bikes ( which we had hoped to but ran out of time) cookies & milk, wine hour, art walk with the curator-which was fascinating) port at bedtime ... yep SO much! Continental breakfast in a bag delivered each morning to our room. Bottled waters included when you asked. Service was exceptional! We were even lucky enough to be given $50 to use in the rooftop bar! We were across the street at 26Vendue which is quieter and perfect for us. read more

This is hotel is very good looking and no doubt was conceived with instagram in mind. However the majority of the price you pay, funds the fantastic art gallery and the plethora of staff milling about in said galley; Rather than the slightly tired room you'll actually spend most of your time in. Simple amenities like a fridge were missing and my room was so bad for acoustic isolation that I was woken up several times in the night by neighbors flushing their toilets. There are attempts to match their piers, like a cookie turn down service and a mini breakfast snack, but the macarons were inedible soap and the confiture was missing. Most of the staff are great, but there are a few grumpy old gits that spoil the tone. Fun, but only once. Enjoy the art and rooftop bar... No need to stay. read more

If anyone is looking for a short wedding reception venue, I highly recommend the Vendue hotel. This reception food was very very delicious, and they came out fairly quickly back to back. Lobster Bisque: There are no chunks of lobster, just blended in, which was kind of a disappointment, but it was really good. Crab Cake Remick: I liked this appetizer more, so I mooched it off of my boyfriend. If you're from Maryland, you would love this. Baseball Cut Sirloin: Very juicy meat, cooked perfectly medium rare, and the sauce was amazingly good. Kentucky Bourbon Pecan Pie: Great finish to the night. This hotel is conveniently located in downtown Charleston. There are many bars around it too. The only down side is that they kicked us out as soon as the allotted time was over. Overall, 9 out of 10. read more

What a wonderful hotel. I really haven't had service this great at a hotel in forever. From the various miscellaneous snacks and drinks given out at all times, to the breakfast left at our door, to the wildly friendly and accommodating staff, this was truly great. We even borrowed bikes from the hotel, which was a ton of fun. The room itself was very clean, too, and the location is impeccable. The only downside I would say is that the hotel itself was quite pricey for the quality of the rooms themselves. Our "interior room" had no windows and was very small, which had a bit of a claustrophobic feel to it. Strongly recommend this hotel, thank you again! read more

Rodent in enclave room 251 night of 11/8/2024 (the Vendue hotel) My husband and I traveled to Charleston for the weekend to celebrate my husband's birthday. We both love artwork and wanted to stay somewhere centralized so we chose the Vendue hotel. We paid over $700/night. The first night we stayed, we were relaxing in our room after dinner when we heard what sounded like bits of the ceiling crumbling and falling on the floor. My husband thought he saw a rodent at that time fall from the ceiling and dart under the bed but he couldn't be 100% sure. We looked around and didn't see anything suspicious so we tried to put it out of our minds and go to bed. Fast forward a few hours and we're both lying in bed unable to sleep. My husband shines a light on the area where the ceiling was crumbling and lo and behold there is a rodent. We immediately call the front desk. The hotel is completely full so there is no room to move us to. The night manager Nathan called a bunch of different hotels and every downtown hotel he called was full. At this point, it's 2am and we're in the lobby not knowing where we're going to sleep that night. (Happy birthday, husband!) Eventually Nathan gets us set up with a hotel in Mount Pleasant. We're relieved to go get some sleep finally but the whole point of staying at the Vendue was to be downtown, in walking distance of our perfume -making class, walking tour and SNOB reservation. We now how to drive and deal with parking or pay for Uber everywhere. Not ideal. Credit where credit is due: the artwork was fantastic, the rooftop bar was fun, and Nathan clearly felt bad for our situation and worked very hard to find us alternative accommodations. The Vendue gave us $100 voucher to eat at their restaurant which didn't appeal to us given everything we had seen. The general manager said they would refund our stay but so far we haven't received that yet. read more

This is a beautiful hotel. But music playing very loud in the hallways during the day may be cool, but not during the night. When calling the front desk at 10:30 at night to ask to lower the music they offer ear plugs instead to sleep? Is that a joke? For $700 a night I am not wearing ear plugs. For this they get 3 stars read more

This may be a useless review because I never actually stayed here but the lobby itself made me feel like I just entered a free art museum. Def a fun stop just to be in awe and pretend you're in a Lady Gaga museum. The decorations alone make me want to book a room immediately. read more

This hotel is very nice. The location is awesome and the staff is fantastic. The hotel is well done and the art work exceeds expectations! I will share that my room was well appointed and located in the property across the street from the main hotel; it was great. The property was quiet which is very important to me. I never have my room serviced during any stay as I'm usually busy recovering ; ) I did think it was awesome that each morning I had toiletries provided and a bag of breakfast treats! The only reason I could not give the hotel 5 stars is simply because at 3AM I had to use the restroom. I turned on the lights in the water closet and encountered a cockroach party. No lie! I did share it with the front desk after checkout as I did not want anything other than for them to ensure no other guest should experience the same! Reality is climate dictates this kind of experience but maintenance also would have prevented this unfortunate scenario. Net Net this was the only poor experience of my stay. Lastly, the rooftop bars, there are two, both are ok. They do not match the interior of the hotel and lack the same feel as the main lobby however it's worth a visit. read more

Great chic hotel in one of the most desirable areas downtown Charleston. The hotel has changed over the years and the most recent remodeling effort has taken away all of the historic features of this property which we found disappointing. That said, it does have a modern, chic vibe so if you're into that, this hotel is a great option. We are did have a problem with unpleasant odors in the halls and coming from the stairwell that made its way into our room during part of one of the days during our stay. read more

Great location with easy walk to restaurants and city market. No need for a car at this location. Valet parking will be $50.00 daily which is standard in this area. Rooms were clean and unique. Wine at check in and with free art tour by Melissa who is the curator. Tour is a must. She explains the art/ artists in some detail and points out things that you are likely to miss in the installments. We did a 3 night summer stay and received 2 drink tickets to the roof top bar and a $100 dining/drink credit. Ate at their Revoval restaurant. Great wait staff and ambience. Food was okay. Charred okra was a little hard, she crab soup was under seasoned, and Pirlou was somewhat mushy. Wife had Halibut which she states was very good. There is no check in desk, look for the well dressed managers that are usually in the lobby, waiting to check you in electronically. Over all, I would definitely stay at the Vendue again and give their restaurant another try. Did I mention macaroons left nightly in our rooms ,nightly milk and cookies in the lobby,and morning bag of fruit,croissants, and muffins hung on our door knob each morning? Would like to see a variety of morning offerings though. read more

"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words." ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship - I spent the weekend at The Vendue, a magnificent art hotel, in Charleston's French Quarter, and it is marvelous - as is the valuable, sophisticated staff. Art hotels provide traditional accommodation but are driven with an interior of creative exhibits and aesthetics, such as art galleries of paintings, photographs, and drawings from a particular artist, style, or period. As an exceptional art hotel, the Vendue is the first and only hotel in Charleston dedicated to the arts - in all forms. The hotel's public areas feature 2-3 different exhibits per year. In addition, all corridors and our Gallery Rooms also feature a collection of original art. I got a Premiere room, Room 102, and it was extraordinarily. The reception and art tour with the hotel's docent were equally sophisticated and outstanding. The Vendue is located steps from iconic sights, award-winning dining, and renowned shopping streets in the heart of Charleston's famed historic district. I had dinner at The Amen Street Fish & Raw Bar followed my drinks at the luxurious Grill 225 - just steps away. The Vendue is quite extraordinary! - "It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done." ~Vincent Van Gogh read more

We booked the premier king room and there was a promo at the time which included free valet parking. Our room was in the main building and was quite large and comfortable. The most unique feature was the old floors. They are not quite level. The staff was friendly and helpful and our room was cleaned daily. They did forget to leave shortbread cookies in our room but when we learned about it, they promptly provided 2 bags. In the morning, there is coffee, 3 kinds of muffins, croissants, jam, and fruit. The muffins were great. In the afternoon, there is an art tour and wine reception. Each night at 9pm, you can go down for cookies and milk. These were nice touches. The art in the hotel is weird but the paintings by the resident artist at the time were quite nice. Overall, I would say it was a a great stay & perfect location and a good value. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. They will be doing some remodeling next year. read more

Wish I had booked another hotel, the worst issue is that they don't take security seriously here (our room was left ajar for who knows how long after house cleaning visited). My friend and I checked in separately, he had a much different experience than I. When I went to check in there wasn't anyone in the lobby. They don't have a check in desk so you just have to wander around and find someone. After 5/10 minutes no one showed up, so we just figured we'd come back. Came back to two men who were maybe hotels workers chatting with each other. They kept chatting while we waiting and eventually helped us but for sure made it seem like we were bothering him. My friend got offered sparking wine at check in, I didn't. We were also on the ground floor, I wish I knew to request NOT being on the ground floor. It was so loud right outside our window. Later that evening we went back for cookie hour at 9pm, saw one of the same guys there and went to grab a cookie. The guy harshly said "these are for across the street" and walked away from us. Thank goodness for the nice doorman, who was super helpful and kind. He's basically the reason they are getting 2 stars instead of 1. Anyway on our second to last day we returned to our rooms at around 4pm after a day of exploring. We noticed our door propped open, so we figured house cleaning was happening then. Nope. No one was inside. Our door was just open, for anyone to enter all day. Thankfully none of our stuff was stolen, but left me feeling very unsettled. All in all, would not recommend due to not caring about security and rude check in folks. read more

My wallet and phone are always causing problems with hotel keys. Luckily, at The Vendue, they still use metal keys! It was awesome. - - - The check in service was kind and speedy. The bellhop was at the vehicle before I even got out. The bags were loaded quickly and efficiently. There are lots of stone steps that the bellhop carries the carts up and down. Makes one feel a little bad for them. It also makes the commute from check in to the room a bit longer. Help the bellhop open the door - - - The Continental Breakfast was very nice every morning. They had plenty of regular and decaf coffee along with some very tasty yogurt in mason jars. Other than hard boiled eggs, everything was pastry/bread related. - - - The room was nice and comfortable with lots of neat little amenities like brandy, local sweet treats, and a couple chocolates every night. My room was just off the side of the main staircase area and I could clearly hear every person that walked into the building. That was a little annoying, especially on the first night when I was jet lagged and hit the hay a little early. It also felt like any conversations I had on the phone in my room were far from private. But I wasn't there for the room and I spent most of my time out and about in a very walkable Charleston. - - - The hotel is situated right at the start of the downtown battery which means I was a 100 foot walk from the river, a pier, and two miles of sidewalk to run on. I chose the hotel mainly for that purpose and caught two amazing sunrises as I ran in the mornings. It was a quiet, French Quarter Hotel that I would definitely recommend. read more

The Vendue Hotel - Sunset on the rooftop - Hotels Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

The Vendue is an overall terrific place to stay. Interior and exterior based rooms to choose from, the place screams character. The structure is like many others in the city, older and having its usual age based flaws. I have never stayed in a perfect hotel so I do not look for perfection. The bed and pillows are comfortable. We stayed in room 158, an interior room and found it to be quite nice. The morning brought the bag of breakfast goodies hanging in the door knob: bananas, apples, croissants and jam. A nice touch to eat a solid breakfast and save money and time if that is to your liking. The Vendue has two locations, situated across the street from one another. Read up on it through their website, which is excellent. The shower seems like the pressure will be weak but it was fine. Replacing the shower head or a good soaking cleaning would loosen the build up and improve the flow. The baseboard in the bathroom needs to be addressed. It is the first thing you notice as you walk in. Water damage appears to be the issue but replacing a baseboard and quarter round is quick and simple. That's about it for the flaws. The Vendue is a visual delight with many perks like a great rooftop bar and complimentary wine and cookie time each late afternoon and evening. The staff is genuinely friendly, responsive and energetic. They corresponded via text a few days prior to see if any assistance is needed for absolutely anything you can think of. Management should be proud of how the whole crew works together to provide a great experience. The location is simply the best - you can save money and walk to so much very easily. Simply put: Stay here. read more
