I recently stayed at The Spectator Hotel, and my experience was a mix of highs and lows. While the location was convenient and the room decor was lovely, the service was frustratingly inconsistent and often lacking. I had issues with check-in, communication from staff, and the overall upkeep of the room. Given the high price of the stay, I expected much more in terms of a seamless experience and attentive service.

My stay at The Spectator Hotel was a mix of good service and a couple of small hiccups. The butler service was perfect and really made breakfast in bed special, though I faced some issues with my coffee not being hot on a couple of mornings. Also, I did notice some construction noise early one morning, but the staff were responsive once I brought it up. Overall, the staff's friendliness and the hotel's central location made my stay enjoyable.

I recently stayed at The Spectator Hotel, and while the experience had its highlights, there were some drawbacks too. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of historic Charleston, and the staff truly exemplify attentive service. However, I did find the noise from nearby construction and a loud neighboring room a bit disruptive during my stay. Overall, it’s a lovely hotel, but I would recommend asking for a quiet room when booking.

While the hotel offers a lovely bar and butler service, I did notice that the fitness facilities are located at a partner hotel next door. This was a slight inconvenience but not a major setback.
