Great hotel! Only thing to be aware of is the type of room you book. We made the mistake of booking a very tiny room which wasn’t ideal for a 4 night/5 day stay. Other than that, really great hotel, ambiance and staff! Will be back!

I stayed in a bi-level suite which was a great setup, however it faced an outdoor patio courtyard and was extremely noisy. Also, I had a package that was offered through Expedia and the discount described upon check-in (food and bev charged to room) was not what was given upon checkout. The hotel was very sketchy when I inquired. I would not recommend signing up for any inclusive room packages.

Overall a nice property. Our room was very small. It got pretty cold at night and our heat would not get above 66 in room. Drink station on floor was also out of order during the duration of our stay.

winter visit to Charleston

Just a quick weekend in Charleston. I picked the Emeline because of location and they were dog friendly. We loved this hotel. it is beautiful and all the staff was welcoming. It is 1/2 block form the market, which in the winter is not packed- during the summer this are might have a lot of foot traffic. Easy walk to any part of the old city you want to visit. The room was small so having luggage w2as an issue but it was lovely and the bed was comfy. We were not in the room much. The coffee shop allowed us to have our our in for our morning coffee which as a treat. Each floor has a Nespresso machine for your use. Was lovely to make a cup of tea in the afternoons. this will definitely be our go to hotel.
