“A good place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

We stayed a whole week. The staff were all very friendly and cheerful. The Mon-Fri breakfast lady is just wonderful, attentive, friendly and very helpful. The room was comfortable, quiet and clean although also very dark. The window did not let in much light. The situation was ideal for local travel. Everywhere was in easy reach.

Room Tip: Ask for one facing the pool

Dear Graham,

Thank you for taking the time to post your comments. We really do appreciate the feedback.

I am happy to read that you enjoyed your visit with us. We strive to insure that every guests enjoys their visit with us as well as their time in Charleston. I have discussed your comments about the room being a little dark with our operations staff. We are looking into increasing the wattage of the bulbs used.

Thanks again for the feedback. We hope to see you again.

“Great home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

We stay at this hotel 3-4 times per year. I am from Charleston and we visit my parents often. The people at this hotel are great! From the front desk employees to wonderful Linda in the breakfast room, they are all so nice and friendly. They make us feel welcome.

“great place, great deal”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

Couldn't be more pleased with our most recent stay at the Sweetgrass; as much as we always, always relish getting back to Charleston, it's more affordable when we can book a room at the Sweetgrass. Well, big Shout-Out to Monique!

“Staff is wonderful, General Manager is rude”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

Ieesha at the front desk was wonderful, friendly, helpful and pleasant to deal with. Tonya, our room service attendant was efficient and friendly as well. Our pleasant experience stopped dead in it's tracts when we had to encounter the General Manager, Mr. Bill. He was rude and condensending, he repremanded hotel staff in front of us. He insinuated that we were not welcome because we had a specialty rate. He refused to allow us to extend our stay because he said that he only allowed two rooms per night at that rate. So we checked out and went to another hotel that was happy to accept our discounted rate.

All rooms are exterior access rooms, so you heard every door slam, every vehicle start up, maids carts rolling down the sidewalk. . . if you want to sleep ask for top floor in the back of the property.

I'd like to thank this guest for taking the time to share their opinion. We really do appreciate the feedback.

I was happy to read that Ieesha and Tonya were able to provide such wonderful service. As for their interaction with me, I cannot recall any recent interaction when a guest requested me to extend a "specialty rate".

In any event, thank you for the feedback. We really do appreciate it.
