Great location
Great location and great bones, just needs a little updating… Stains in the carpeting and for $300 a night it would be expected to be in a little better shape

From the moment I stepped out of my car . .
The tone for my entire stay was set when the friendly hotel valet (Shelton) said “Welcome to Charleston” the moment I stepped out of my car! The entire staff was helpful and friendly! The building is amazing and beautiful with so much history and the hotel is located within walking distance of so many great places to eat, shop, and sight see in historic Charleston. The other valet (Don) wished me safe travels as I departed from the hotel. Top notch employees! I really enjoyed my stay from arrival until departure!

Hotel needs a HUGE makeover!
Old hotel that needs a huge makeover. 1 tv didn't work, every time we walked on the floor you could here the ventilation system. AC didn't blow cold air and their fix was to turn it off.

Excellent location!
The hotel is old but the location is perfect: one block away from King Street and one block away from the Charleston Visitor Center. The room carpet needs to be replaced.

Terrible upkeep
Hotel was dirty, old and gross. Something was missing in the room and they did nothing about it. This hotel probably would be amazing if they took care of it. Instead, it reminds me of a haunted house..

The Ol Citadel is a fun place to stay. If you are looking for a historical hotel to stay in, this is the place. The breakfast is pretty good, staff is attentive. I recommend the omelet station.
