Everything about The Spectator is perfect!! It is conveniently located in The French Quarter which makes it walkable to so much! Staff is wonderful as is the complimentary breakfast! Rooms are very comfortable with all amenities. My only complaint is the construction going on nearby which can be a little loud in the morning but it would not affect my future stays there. Love The Spectator!

We stayed overnight at The Spectator for a quick trip to Charleston. Fantastic location just a few blocks from Waterfront Park, close to King Street and great shopping. Fast valet service, experienced butlers and comfortable, spacious rooms. The breakfast in bed was a lovely finish to our stay. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice small boutique hotel. Very clean, friendly staff. Room a little on the tight size, bath just the opposite. Well stocked free (!) in room bar/fridge, quite nice. Ditto free cooked or continental breakfast served in room, or in lounge. Very nice! No restaurant, but located within the French Quarter where there are restaurants within a few steps in every direction.

We stayed at the Spectator for a long weekend and loved it. It is centrally located within walking distance of many city highlights. The staff was courteous and helpful. The rooms were clean and the bed was so comfy. The complimentary refills of the minibar was a nice touch, too. Everything was great.

I recently celebrated a birthday with two other couples at this property. It was my 1st time visiting it. Location, location, location. Perfect for a trip to Charleston, SC. Staff was amazing. Everyone knew our names from day one and used them to greet us throughout our stay. Rooms were very well appointed and we loved the large bath and rainfall shower. Extra towels we didn't even have to ask for. Breakfast is included. We thought it would be continental. NOT! A variety of choise including scrambled eggs, bacon and biscuits and gravy...delivered to your room by your butler when you want it. Great bar and lobby. A welcome cocktail was served when we arrived. Love this property. We had a balconette and it was great. We'll definitely be back.
