"I’m not one to complain but this was not one of my best stays at a hotel."

6.0

Great location, friendly staff.

Not as pet friendly as I hoped. Large pet fee. Thin walls, noisy. Stained carpet, lots of things broken. Leaving my car outside building after paying for valet. Never got room service twice.

"Hell in Charleston"

2.0

Our recent stay at Hotel Emeline was absolutely upsetting and unacceptable from start to finish. We were not informed in advance about a 3.16% credit card surcharge, which already felt misleading, but the situation only worsened after checkout. We were wrongfully charged a $250 smoking fee, despite the fact that neither my husband nor I smoke. This accusation is completely false and insulting. As if that weren’t bad enough, this was also our first experience ever having to kill a cockroach in the bathroom of a hotel room—something no guest should have to deal with, especially at a hotel of this caliber and price point. When we contacted customer care to dispute the charge, we were hung up on twice, which is beyond unprofessional and unacceptable. We were then told that no refund would be considered until their engineers could test the fire alarm, leaving us stuck with an unfair charge, no clear timeline, and no accountability. Between the hidden fees, false smoking charge, unsanitary room conditions, and dismissive customer service, this hotel has completely failed in providing even basic hospitality. I am absolutely disgusted by how this situation was handled. We will not be returning and will be sure to share this experience with friends, family, and anyone considering staying here. Save yourself the frustration and stay elsewhere.

"Christmas at the Emeline"

10.0

I stayed at the Emeline while visiting family the week of Christmas. This was my second Christmas stay, my last was 3 years ago. The hotel once again exceeded my expectations, upon check in I was ungraded to a beautiful suite. My family in Charleston enjoyed visiting the hotel every evening we ate at Frannie and The Fox, loved the burnt honey pizza which we enjoyed on the beautiful patio by the fireplace. Shoutout to the excellent valet guys, especially Mark and Oliver always helpful.

"Tanner’s service was impeccable"

10.0

Tanner was extremely helpful with bringing our bags in and out of the hotel making our experience one of a kind. His kindness and service is the reason we will travel back to stay at Emeline. The Location of Emeline is in perfect walking distance from all shops and restaurants. The atmosphere was lovely and clean.

"Great hotel even better staff"

10.0

Great stay. The hotel was so central to everything in the city. The room was so clean and the staff was so friendly helpful. Ashley and Colby helped us at check-in and were lovely, they helped me mail some postcards I had written for my family. And Oliver and Tanner at the valet did a phenomenal job helping me with my bags and helping me order my uber! Despite my heavy bags they were smiling and talking with me. All in all 10 out of 10 experience. Will definitely be staying here the next time I’m in Charleston.
