Bed was very comfortable and the Christmas decorations were adorable

The Emeline property, staff and rooms are top-notch. We enjoyed the property's coffee shop and restaurant as well. I would definitely recommend staying at the Emeline. It's proximity to everything in the historic district is a plus. The minus would be this: My traveling companion and I arrived at the Emeline just before noon. We had been traveling since very early morning - me by car and she by plane. We were delighted to hear that our room was ready - a pleasant surprise. We'd have a chance to freshen up, regroup and start to enjoy our exploration of Charleston. Not so fast...there was a $50 fee to enter our room early. I have since learned that the Emeline is not alone in this practice, but it is not the welcome we expected, nor did we expect to pay more on top of our room rate for that night's stay. We ended up paying it (remember...tired, grubby and wanting a refresh), but felt manipulated and unwelcome. Fortunately, our stay turned out to be very nice and I still would recommend the Emeline. I would, however, ask the Emeline to rethink their money-making early entrance fee.

It’s just the best of the best

We had a wonderful stay! From the valet to the front desk, the staff was so friendly and helpful! Our room while compact, was very clean and had a great view of the city and on to the water.

Great location in downtown within walking distance to many great restaurants like Vern’s and Chubby Fish. Hotel was a very clean and charming boutique hotel. Staff was very professional and friendly. My only critique was the noise from the “parlor” lounge right next to our room. Our room balcony overlooked a nice decorated courtyard but it was right next to the “parlor” lounge balcony where private events are hosted, thus completely depriving us of any privacy. The noise from the “parlor” filtered into our room at night but fortunately stopped late at night to allow sleep. The rooftop bar had great views and a great energetic vibe. Overall a very nice stay other than the position of our room.
