“Amazing experience! Thank you to all staff!”
This hotel and its staff deserves 10 stars. Incredible experience! I wish this hotel and type of service existed in every town we travel to. From the welcome, to the continuous impecable butler service, to pleasant kind friendly staff at the front desk! Emma and Wade at the front desk are friendly, professional, attentive, answered every question, offered water for our welcome, always picked up the phone and provided all details we needed throughout our stay. Dejah with afternoon service to your room offering chocolate/raspberry/caramel (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) liquor (for free), any mini bar items, bathroom items you might need (all free), she is the sweetest! Maya with housekeeping was super clean, polite, detailed and friendly! James at the door was always welcoming, helpful and available for anything you need. Everyone is always helpful, attentive and WOW friendly! Will forever come back to this place! Once you arrive to the hotel the butler comes to bring you to your room, explain every detail, complimentary mini bar, beautiful jazz music when you walk into the room makes it soo welcoming! The interior of the room was so well equipped and stylish! From blackout curtains, to modern french chic furniture, to amazing vanity set/shampoo, to local snacks! Our bulters were Darryl, Chuck and David! And they are awesomeee!!!! We were on our baby moon so they greeted us with an upgraded room and a gift! Can’t say enough great things about this hotel/staff/experience! You can choose to get complimentary breakfast (and they are super generous) in the room every morning or downstairs bar area. You choose what you would like and also the time you would like breakfast! Will come back here and recommend it to everyone!

“A Five-Star Engagement Weekend at The Spectator Hotel”
Exceptional Service: The Spectator Hotel provided five-star service from start to finish, making our engagement weekend in early June truly special. We felt incredibly fortunate to have stayed there. Complimentary Amenities: Unlike many hotels that charge for extras, The Spectator offered free drinks and snacks in the room, which was a delightful surprise. Outstanding Butler Team: The dedicated butlers elevated our stay with personalized, complimentary services. We were assisted by: Michelle: Warm-hearted and shared local tips that helped us save money. Jim: Playfully teased us about our English roots but provided fantastic recommendations. David: Kind, thorough, and always greeted us with a warm smile. Darryl: Incredibly efficient, ensuring perfect morning breakfast deliveries. Kyle (name not confirmed): Remarkably knowledgeable, my wife’s favorite for his wealth of local insights. Charming Bar Area: The downstairs bar was perfect for relaxing while waiting for my spouse, enjoying breakfast, savoring a hot drink, or having pre-dinner cocktails. The bar staff were proactive, friendly, and made every interaction a pleasure. Memorable Experience: The impeccable service, thoughtful amenities, and charming atmosphere made our engagement weekend unforgettable. We highly recommend The Spectator to anyone visiting Charleston.

The service and butlers are amazing. The hotel truly is there to make u happy and helpful. The interior of the hotel is beautifully done. Our room spacious. They give complementary breakfast in your room, a delicious cocktail to welcome you, every night they brought us a small artisan shot to relax and they had a bottle chilled for us (our anniversary) They truly spoil you which is awesome !
