Property managers were very professional and welcoming. We appreciated the upgrade offered to us and we enjoyed our stay at the Snopes. Breakfast was home cooked and very tasty. The only downside is that the property is located on a busy intersection and it is a bit noisy.

Very nice room in a preserved older building with exposed brick and local charm. Cindy checked us in and also checked on us daily- she was very kind and helpful. Wonderful location! Only issues are to be expected in an older building such as hearing the footsteps from the room above us.

The unit is now part of a hotel managed by Hilton Resorts. This happened one week before our arrival. The front desk, concierge, and valet were incrediably professional and accommodating. The host actually called us directly on our first day there to ask if everything was ok - a nice approach. The unit is ideally located in the French Quarter - walking distance to the attractions, wonderful restaurants, and even a full size grocery store. We loved our stay.

This property was great! Beautiful historic building and a wonderful light filled corner suite. The space was clean and the king bed was super comfortable. Located in the French quarter of Charleston made everything very accessible and easily walkable.... Close to restaurants, rainbow row, the market, the waterfront, etc. Be aware that parking is scarce in Charleston and the fee for non-owner valet parking is 50 daily. I would definitely stay here again.
