"One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed at. What a beautiful hotel. And EVERYONE - the entire staff from the boys at the front door to the waiters and waitresses - were the sweetest. Big shout out to Kevin the concierge. His recommendations were top-notch. Will definitely return to Hotel Bennett during our next trip to Charleston."
