    The location and overall experience was the best of our last three stays in comparison to 20 Battery, John Rutledge Inn. The butler experience was interesting but for my preference less time in the room is better. Well done and great...

    The location is amazing, but the staff was a 10 out of 10. I loved everything about the hotel, and I’m very picky.
