Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    I am a normal person that wanted a good deal on a safe and clean hotel. We stayed one night and just wanted to enjoy Charleston. I was very pleased with the customer service, the employee working the desk was very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean, no they are not brand new but I was happy with the quality of the comfort and amenities. Again I am a simple person so I’m not looking for a luxury hotel but this was a perfect choice to stay for the night.

    The room itself was so much nicer than anticipated. Though it was a historic building, it had many upgrades that made us feel like we were living in luxury. We never had issues with our neighbors, and having a parking spot was nice in the middle of the city. Also, the staff was very nice. In initial communications, they seemed almost overbearing (asking when our flight would land, when we were planning on arriving, etc.). On meeting them, however, it was clear that this was just Southern hospitality at its best.

    Best part about this property is the location. The bedding was also very nice and luxurious and the place was clean. The bathroom was also upgraded which was a nice touch.

    Absolute dream in every way possible! Gorgeous buildings, beautiful and spacious room, incredible staff, lovely attention to every detail. I’ve stayed at several high-end hotels in Charleston and Zero George is hands down the best! It is one of my favorite hotels I’ve ever experienced, including my extensive international travels and stays at 5-Star properties.

    Overall an outstanding hotel. Our room had doors to separate room and bedroom, and good venting to prevent smells from cooking. Breakfast was diversified and very good. Clean to perfection.
