Our stay at Regatta was perfect. The high point was definitely the service - they did everything they could to make our stay as nice as possible. Free beach chairs, free bike rentals, and other great amenities. Room was very clean, food was excellent, and even had a free happy hour with drinks from 4-7pm.

Loved this place. They were wonderfully accommodating, especially when there was a slight mix up about our reservation. The staff was friendly, the breakfast yummy, and the room very comfortable. They have a golf cart that provides a short ride to the beach or any of the restaurants and bars, bikes, and secluded towards the back of the island with nice privacy. Definitely recommend this place!

Undoubtedly the best service of ANY hotel/B&B I've ever stayed in! We went there for a romantic long weekend, and it was perfect. The wine and cheese hour on the piazza was the most wonderful start imaginable to each evening, and Marion was a great host: friendly and chatty, but never intrusive. It's expensive, but worth every penny.

Booked this hotel for my parents as a surprise 70th birthday trip. Exchanged lovely messages with the hotel manager in advance of their trip. They loved their stay, saying: the location, historic building, and staff were fantastic. Both ladies, Abigail and Molly, were super friendly and helpful when it comes to either accommodation or advice on what to see, etc. They offer daily tours of the building to guests where you can learn its rich history. They have nice evening treats for guests like...

Staff were courteous, efficient and professional. Loved how spacious our room was. Double vanities and towel warmer in bathroom were a huge plus as was the Nespresso machine and complimentary bottles of water refreshed daily in our room. Lobby bar is beautiful and serves up some legit cocktails. Would definitely stay at The Spectator on our next visit to Charleston

This is a great hotel. The staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. We were given a complimentary upgrade to a suite, which was the nicest suite we’d ever been in. The room was huge and very well appointed.
Whenever we are back in Charleston, this is where we are staying. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

We really enjoyed our stay at The Iris. We stayed in a superior suite which was bright and light and with all that we needed for four nights. It turned out we were in a great area with lots of delicious dining options and a short walk from King Street which is the Main Street in Charleston. We walked everywhere. We would totally recommend and would come back if we visit Charleston again.
