Perfect location to see historic Charleston. Walking distance to everything. Lots of shopping and restaurants. Hotel also offers rides up to 2 1/2 miles which is an added bonus. All of the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. Room was very comfortable and clean. Will be back if we visit again.

STAY AWAY FROM THE BATES HOTEL!

This place ... or rather, the room this overpriced place put us in is a dump. The room should never have been rented. It was dirty. The paint was chipped throughout the kitchen. The bathroom floor was stained and dirty. The curtain would not close properly. The sheers were torn. During our stay there were carpenters working on our floor. The black bin in the photo was never put away, but was passed every day on the way to our depressing room. We were not given prior notice of the work that was done. Nor were we given any consideration for having a room on a floor being renovated. And when our concerns were brought to the manager, I was led to believe my experience was "my fault" and he was sorry he could not accommodate us. Shameful. And snobbish. I could go on, but instead I'll add the photos I took that will show you what to expect.
This laundry cart was never put away at night. Sometimes it was empty. Other times ...
The baseboard was discolored and damaged.
The sheers won't work if they have holes in them. Just sayin'
It looks as though someone threw up in the corner of the bathroom.

We had a great stay at The Restoration. The convenient location made it perfect for walking to the shops, restaurants, and historical landmarks. We loved the breakfast baskets provided each morning. The rooftop restaurant was top notch. The room was spacious and had all the amenities. Matthew was a top notch host and provide excellent suggestions for our stay. Would definitely stay at the Restoration again

We travel a lot. This was a staycation. On arrival we heard the amenities and then were swept away by how amazing the room was. We had a terrace with a large umbrella (a must under Charleston sun) the umbrella was broken. Called to ask. They said they would handle. Hours later nothing. When I called back, clearly annoyed with me, they said it was number one priority. It was never fixed, and just forgotten about. The bed was a bit hard as was the couch and furniture. The room we were in 307 seemed to be handicap accessible, toilet was way low. Bathroom shower deff needs to be on the list of “restorations “. The AC in the unit, exposed ductwork which is mod and chill but it was UNBEARABLY loud when it ran We would just tell each other “talk later” when it kicked on! Building elevator made such noises we were scared each time! Overall it was good. I just wish after spending as much as we did these things been a bit better. My husbands birthday. Our 10 year old came. Requested roll away bed , no responses. Anyway- it’s nice. Don’t get room 307.

We had a wonderful stay at The Restoration. Our room was enormous and beautifully decorated. They did a great job of keeping the historic charm while mixing in modern elements. We enjoyed the coffee shop as well as the rooftop restaurant. The pool was small but perfect to cool off and enjoy the views of Charleston. The location was perfect. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. I can’t recommend this hotel enough. It was lovely.

The Best on King St.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish, the only place I will stay when returning to Charleston. Front desk staff were kind and outgoing, with little details such as umbrellas for a rainy walk on King St. Rooms are spacious and luxurious, a large fridge with items stocked, breakfast treats delivered in the morning. Lovely rooftop pool and bar, quick and courteous valet. An absolute hidden gem with the perfect location.
