To understand why this is “George’s Suite,” you must first know the history of The Nicholas. Henry Cobia, an early owner of the property, also owned slaves. During the 1830s, a male and female slave lived in a room on the third floor of the home along with their nine-year-old son. In 1843, due to financial difficulty, Cobia was forced to sell multiple of his slaves, which included the boy's parents. The next day, the little boy walked down to a dock on Charleston Bay and asked a man where his parents were taken. He was told that they had been transported to a ship that was currently docked in the middle of Charleston Harbor. Motivated by the hope that he might be reunited with his parents, the boy stole a rowboat and rowed in the direction of his parents' ship. All at once, the little boat capsized, and the boy drowned.

Guests have reported seeing the ghost of a little boy playing around the halls, then disappearing from sight. Former employees affectionately named him, George. Some may view this as unsettling and others may view it as alluring, but George reportedly just engages in harmless mischief that includes opening doors, rocking chairs and turning lights on and off. Most of the disturbances take the form of bed shaking or the radio turns on in the middle of the nighttime.

George’s King Suite occupies the top floor of The Nicholas overlooking Wentworth Street. This roomy suite features a king-sized bed and private reading nook. The freshly modernized bathroom features a enormous walk-in shower and posh luxury water fixtures and vanity. The room has all of the hotel’s original appeal and character with chic, modern upgrades and amenities that provide both function and elegance.

Please note, there is no elevator in the hotel.

How to get the best vacation property experience:

Finding your perfect rental:

• Reserve your rental property in the Spring or Fall to get the benefit of warm weather while saving money and avoiding crowds. Many vacationers use this strategy to reserve larger homes, or to book an oceanfront rental that would otherwise be unaffordable during the high season.
• Book your vacation home as soon as possible. Rental schedules usually become available a year in advance (or in September just after Summer ends). Many groups book their Summer rentals during Winter holiday get-togethers. Book before these holidays for best selection.
• Some hosts and property managers offer discounts or promotional rates for active duty military and veterans. Remember to ask your host or property manager if special discounts are available for your group.
• Property managers often offer renters an option to buy vacation insurance. Trip insurance, which costs between 1% - 5% of the base stay price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for any days missed as a result of medical-related emergencies or weather disasters, as well as evacuation charges, such as an unanticipated hotel or additional gasoline expenses. Trip insurance is definitely a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask the property owner for details.
• Often, property management companies and vacation rental houses supply Charleston area area travel guides that include coupons, either offered directly by local companies, or by way of a relationship with the property management company and the business itself. You can also find Charleston area visitors guide magazine and coupon books at local gas stations and shopping centers.

Choosing the perfect rental home in the Charleston area area:

• Begin by choosing the best vacation week and a budget.
• Determine how many bedrooms and the configuration your family requires. The Nicholas George's King Suite- Walk to King has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our vacation rental search.
• Specific information regarding bedrooms and bed sizes & counts is normally accessible online. Otherwise, reach out to the property manager before you book the vacation property. Remember that most properties list maximum guest capacity, which frequently includes sofa beds in living rooms. You'll need to determine what configuration is optimal for your vacation group.
• If there's an individual Charleston area destination you simply love, browse properties that are either near by, or those that cater especially to your needs.
• Appropriate accessibility can make or break a vacation for those with limited mobility. Confirm all required amenities are available before reserving a rental
• If your group is vacationing with pets, you must reserve a pet-friendly property. Ask for specifics on breed, size, and type restrictions. Note that some property owners charge additional pet fees.

More tips for your visit:

• Review arrival and departure procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and add a note with the directions to your phone.
• To make certain damages are not linked to your stay, make a record of any problem areas when you arrive. E-mail the rental manager immediately to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having the recorded concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Property managers are there to help! Feel free to ask any questions during your stay.
• Be respectful. Often, surrounding homes are filled by permanent residents. Respecting late-night quiet hours and parking rules reduces conflict and allows everyone to enjoy their day.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Locals can typically help you find exactly what you're looking for. Who better to ask where to find the best seashells, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for crabbing?
• Keep the property locked while you're gone! Don't let crooks ruin your family vacation.
• Don't leave anything behind! Just before you drive away, take a walk through the rental property to confirm you've collected everything. Remember to check bathrooms, garages, and back yards for hidden items. Clean out the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Please make sure to walk through the property a final time and keep an eye out for any damage. We advise inspecting the property with the property manager whenever possible. If the host isn't available, take photos of the rental to record its condition at check-out.
• After your trip, leave a review! Property managers rely on great feedback to stimulate more reservations. They'll be much obliged for your feedback. Alternatively, if something went awry, other families will will be grateful for your review and help them have the best future vacation. Please be fair with your feedback If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the manager had any control over the issue, and if so, whether they responded expeditiously to solve it.
