The Vendue in Charleston

The location was ideal for being downtown, which made exploring the area very convenient. However, several aspects of our stay were disappointing.

Parking is limited to a nearby parking deck, which costs $24 per night—not unreasonable for the area, but worth noting.

The bathroom had visible signs of mold that appeared to be painted over, and the toilet’s flush mechanism was broken—we had to manually adjust it to make it work. The air conditioner rattled loudly throughout the night, which made sleeping difficult.

For the price, it would have been nice to have a couple bottles of water provided. Also, finding the unit was confusing—while the notes mentioned “building 30,” the entrance was actually the unmarked door on the left.

This place has potential, but some basic maintenance and added attention to guest comfort would go a long way.

Property listing is misleading in that it shows photos of a full kitchen but our room was only a bedroom and small bathroom at the top of several stairs. Listing mentions daily housekeeping service, but no one came at all during our stay to replenish towels or to empty out waste bins. Two adults shared a total of 3 bath towels, one hand towel and two washcloths for a 3-night stay. There is moldy grout in the shower. The AC unit is extremely noisy, but the room does maintain a good temp. When we arrived the code we were issued was not correct and we had to call to get a new one. They did at least answer the phone promptly and were polite. I will say, the room is in a great location within walking distance of many shops and restaurants. If you care mostly about location and are okay with a small space and limited staff to help freshen up, this would be a great spot.
