Charleston hotels near Charleston Old Slave Mart

Cons: Room was rather small. A bit more space would have been helpful.

Cons: Breakfast and service at the restaurant were terrible but the hotel was great overall.

Cons: I wish they had coffee in the room. There was no place to get just a cup of coffee.

Cons: I don’t like being charge for parking every day, the minibar was extremely overpriced. The hotel in general is way overpriced for what you actually get. Some of the staff that I encounter during my stay had some attitude.

Cons: That we weren't staying longer to enjoy more! Maybe also the entering and exiting because of the traffic.

Cons: I don't like the fact that you have to use your room card to get out of the pool area. Our cards had gotten demagnetized and would not allow us to get out of the pool area. This seems like a safety concerns. I completely understand needing a card to get in but not out.

Cons: Pull out sofa was a bit hard. No free breakfast

Cons: breakfast not included

Cons: This is NOT a criticism. The Peninsula Grill (the only in-house eatery) is a fine establishment but expensive with a menu unsuited for anything but fine dining. An in-house or affiliated restaurant serving more family/daily meal focused fare would be an added bonus, especially if combined with some limited ability to have the meal delivered ala room service.

Cons: Only thing I can think of would be .. I wish our room had a bath rub instead of just a shower

Cons: The hotel has not redone the bathrooms and that was kind of a deal breaker for us returning. It was very difficult getting our kids bathed with no tub. There are only showers and no step inside so it's impossible to shave your legs. There were also a lot of young adults when we were there so we had to call the front desk several times to complain about noise. Our kids were woken up at 2:30 in the morning by drunk kids outside our door. Also the hotel painted outside our room and our room wreaked of paint the last night we were there.

Cons: Im a Gold Tier Member, since there are no clubs, breakfast should have been given to me. If not breakfast, coffee since there are no makers in the room. Our first room no hot water. There was no compensation for my troubles of moving rooms, they did not offer anything except a lame apology. In fact, they did not suggest "room move" when told that there was no hot water, instead, they wanted to send an engineer, this was when we were turning in for the night I had to ask them for a rom change - inconvenient, since we had already unpacked. They should have immediately suggested a room move since the hotel was not at capacity.

Cons: -Serious issue with the building structure and humidity. I have allergies and had a stuffed head all days we stayed there. - The humidity in the rooms and the smell of mold and mildew throughout. The windows in our room were constantly wet, we could not get them dry. - The cleaning maid kept knocking our door at the morning of checkout to see if she could service our room. why? - No refill of coffee/ tee station or soaps/ shampoo. When we called for a refill of the tee, it took long and I had to call again. Then they came twice, once with just coffee, no tea. - Expensive. We paid 160 USD per night for a hotel way out of town. They offer a shuttle bus but sell tickets for 6 USD per person per day. - The hotel looks old and worn.

Cons: First we didn't get the room we chose in pre checkin, the shuttle or wifi wasn't free as it was listed online. Could have been kayaks fault but either way not happy about that. AC didn't seem to work either. Paid a lot for the stay so that stuff shouldn't have been issues.

Cons: AC didnt work

Cons: The hotel had construction going on throughout my stay. I woke up to drilling and hammering, unable to sleep in. The showers were outdated and bathrooms small.

Cons: Needs extensive renovation. The room was falling apart with the ceiling peeling. The fixtures in the bathroom were rusted and the bathroom were hardly ever properly cleaned. Hair all over the floor. Carpets were dirty and smelled.

Cons: Blood on the sheets. Mascara left on the pillows. Towels with stains all over them. What a disaster.

Cons: Parking

Cons: It may be better to stay closer to the historic district(but it was not far away), where you could walk to the historic attractions.

Cons: Watch out for hotel airport shuttle--was told by the front desk it was $15 and was then charged $35 by the driver. It also arrived 15 minutes late! Not ideal.

Cons: We had a plugged toilet and it took 45 minutes and two phone calls to get someone to fix it

Cons: Noise: the wood floors are so beautiful, but that means you have to hear your inconsiderate neighbors clunk around on their floors with their shoes on. Perhaps a very sweet note when guests check in (or in the room) that while the floors are beautiful, please be mindful of your neighbors and take your shoes off while in the room." Also, in the morning I could hear everyone's conversations from the hallway very loudly! Size of Room/Bathroom: this is with the caveat that I had a very low rate that provided me with one of the more standard rooms, so it was not necessarily unexpected. For what I paid, it was a decent size, bathroom just decent size as well. If I actually planned to do work while there, I would recommend getting a bigger room as mine did not have a desk.

Cons: It was very expensive, room was tiny, no views

Cons: The room could have been cleaner

Cons: Wifi was spotty

Cons: Walls are thin. Can hear neighbors

Cons: No Fitness area; limited toiletry selections; a little noisy ( it's old); you will pay a lot!

Cons: Wait staff could be friendlier at these prices

Cons: Bed too high up--I needed a stepladder to get in--the hardwood floors were shined and polished so much that I thought I would slip and fall.

Cons: Only two minor strikes. The bed was almost too comfortable. It was extremely soft and the pillows were softer. The rooftop bar was an awesome experience in the evening, however we arrived for lunch the first day and over half of the menu was unavailable at the time.

Cons: The ventilation in the room was poor. The bathroom smelled like cigarettes likely coming from a neighboring room or one below. The mattresses are worn out and requiring the guest to remember to schedule house keeping the night before doesn’t seem like much of a service. It was also disappointing to find out that the only place to park at the hotel was the parking garage behind the hotel which runs you about $20 per day and isn’t comped by the hotel. Overall the hotel seems very elegant when you enter the lobby, but other than the main floor everything else is worn out and in need of an update. The value of the suite level room didn’t match the price paid.

Cons: The rooms are extremely small, which is typical in older hotels. Our room location was awful, which I didn't realize until it was too late (our kids were in bed and falling asleep). We were right next to the elevator bay, and we could hear people coming and going (very LOUDLY) all night long. Also, if you are given a room adjacent to King Street and you are staying over a weekend, you might want to switch to the other side of the hotel. There was a huge party (at the art museum, I think) and the DJ music was vibrating our room until past 10 p.m. This won't be a problem for you if you are out late and without kids, but it was a rough night for us.

Cons: Housekeeping staff tried entering our room at 8:30 am (check outs not until 11, and we had previously requested a late checkout of noon). She knocked one time, lightly. We didn’t even get a chance to get up from bed, get decent and answer the door before she was already entering. This is not ok. Also, upon arrival the front desk staff and manager were conversations amongst themselves, not even greeting us or talking to us. Just amongst each other and getting us checked in. No welcome words or conversation. Like we were an inconvenience to their conversation.

Cons: Checking in did not go well. We arrived at 1:30 and were told the room was not ready and we should come back in an hour. We came back at 3:30 and the room was still not ready. Then when we got to our room, they lost our bag tag and it took over an hour to bring our bags to the room. We also didn't get the king size bed, but instead two doubles. They weren't very apologetic about it all either. They charged me $0.50 for a call to the 1-877 help number for wifi issues. Parking wasn't great either.

Cons: While the location is excellent, and the hotel lobby & courtyard are visually appealing, the rooms leave much to be desired. Even with a balcony view, the room was a bit dark and dreary. Our tub did not drain for several hours after each use (but was fixed by a friendly staff member a few hours after I called the problem in. They gave us a room down the hall to use in the meantime). The sink handle in the new room broke and the water ran constantly. The walls are thin and you can hear all conversations. The guest service is hit or miss. We had great interactions with some of the staff who were both pleasant and accommodating, and other experiences with staff who were quite the opposite. Overall, I’d choose this hotel again for location alone, but if you’re going to spend a lot of time in your room, your money would be best spent elsewhere.

Cons: What I did NOT like was once a person booked through Kayak, the hotel would not help you with your room. I called the hotel prior to arrival to make sure I had a king sized bed as I requested but the hotel refused to assist me since I did not book directly with them. So although I again requested a king size bed for my wife and I, and for our married friends as well, through the Kayak booking agency - neither of us had a king sized bed but instead two double beds! And the beds were like marshmallows so you sink in them. While that may be fun for some but many of us like support under our backs. I informed the hotel of my displeasure and request for change; I was "yes'd" but received no change. So I now assume that the most undesireable rooms are avaialble on Kayak because it would lead to toomuch aggravation for the hotel to try to get the normal rate for them.

Cons: The pillows were too soft for me and all the same so there wasn't an option to switch out - that would be my only complaint!

Cons: paper coffee cups in room, walls were a little thin. the couple next to us were loud at all hours of the night. did not enjoy hearing them having sex!

Cons: I hated the sliding door to the bathroom. It didn't offer much privacy but I find many boutique hotels favor them these days.

Cons: Renovation construction going on. Ask before booking to ensure completed.

Cons: Parking was limited and expensive. The price per night was a little on the high end for the size of the room.

Cons: Information explaining parking since no valet also explaining no housekeeping unless asked...

Cons: CONSTRUCTION GOING ON OUTSIDE THE BUILDING

Cons: Size of room could limit longer stays

Cons: Surprisingly the staff wasn't very friendly or helpful. They seems very aloof.

Cons: Would have preferred a fridge in room but not totally necessary. We had a great time so really nothing negative!

Cons: rooms too small; no counter space in bathroom

Cons: No complaints! Would love to stay here again

Cons: Wished the room had a small refrigerator to store leftovers from the great restaurants nearby.

Cons: I couldn't stay longer. This is the best hotel I the peninsula .

Cons: N/A

Cons: Our room, a Deluxe King Bed room, was very tight on space, especially the bathroom. There was no vanity - just a pedestal sink - so there was nowhere to put any toiletries in the bathroom. The toilet was so close to the sink that part of the toilet tank was under the sink, which made it very difficult to reach the toilet tissue which was mounted on the wall between the sink and toilet. The bathroom was so small that the bathmat couldn’t lay flat on the floor.

Cons: Small room with double beds, very loud

Cons: The bathroom doors are sliding & did not give the feeling of full privacy. The room was not spacious but very comfortable.

Cons: Breakfast and parking not included

Cons: Bathroom should had been cleaner, hair on floor Bed not comfortable

Cons: As with a lot of nice hotels in the Charleston area, there was a big wedding party in the hotel lobby who occupied the entire area of the lobby and their one restaurant during the ceremony so it was difficult to get any food or refreshment at the hotel during that timeframe.

Cons: Difficult to check in as no place to park.....rooms small for price.....no refrigerator......limited counter space in bathroom

Cons: Not worth the price. Very expensive rooms

Cons: The bathroom was a bit snug. Price was high, but comparable for other hotels in the historic area.

Cons: Broken luggage racks (2) in room, shower water backs up in tub, immediately three inches to stand in while showering

Cons: The room was not very comfortable or easy to move around in . Bath was very outdated and not easy to use. Not very competitive or modern

Cons: Wish we could have stayed longer!

Cons: Rooms are on the small side as are the bathrooms. Our room was on the second floor and all we could see was scaffolding outside our window. The valet staff was a little inattentive.

Cons: Beds are tiny, had double queen room and they are just a size bigger than a twin.

Cons: Only small complaint I have was the pillows. They were fluffy until you laid on them, then they became flat and hard.

Cons: There was nothing we didn't like. Great place!
