Great place to stay. Convenient and walkable to shopping and restaurants. Breakfast was incredible. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was adequate size and very clean. Property is comprised of a historical building dating back to around 1778. Property is well maintained and blends in nicely to the historical charm of Charleston. Will return again on our next visit to Charleston

Staff was super friendly. Breakfast was EXCELLENT! Location was convenient and parking was ample.The Inn and rooms were super cute and our bed was comfortable. Our bathroom was clean and functional but really needs an update. Bathroom faucet dripped and water pressure was lacking in the shower. Wall paper was peeling. All in all, this is a great place to stay and a great value.

Overall a great experience with the room pleasantly large and comfortable. Hot breakfast selected from a well thought out menu was wonderful and access to treats, coffee and tea and added bonus. Perfectly situated for walking. Parking was a little tight one night but manageable. We stayed five nights and requested fresh towels and linen service that morning but to no avail - we get it as that appears to be the lodging trend these days but nonetheless we're disappointed. That was really the only hiccup.

Charming OLD home and carriage house. Bathroom could have used a refresher. The shower head and toilet mechanicals were not working properly. We were in the carriage house. It was clean, staff very friendly and helpful. The breakfast very good. Plenty of coffee, water and tea and snacks and fruit any time. The location was great!!! Across from the college and central to walk to popular sites, restaurants and shopping. Seemed to be a safe area.
