Welcome to our newly renovated one-of-a-kind Inn! Our conveniently located accommodations are nestled between Charleston's best sites and business attractions, making it the perfect base for your next trip. Each of our rooms is equipped with fresh towels, linens and a comfortable brand name mattress. Your room gives you a comfortable space to recharge and rejuvenate before you venture out each day. Our location is unbeatable, just 7 to 15 minutes away from downtown Charleston, Park Circle, and the airport. Be sure to check out the distance to travel section below to see how far common Charleston sites are from our Inn. We can't wait to host you and make your stay in Charleston unforgettable.
Our location is unbeatable, just a quick 3-minute drive from i26 and i526, giving you easy access to all the top attractions in the area. While we are situated on the outskirts of an up-and-coming neighborhood, please rest assured that it is a safe area and we have hosted over two thousand guests in our six years of operation without a single safety or security issue. Although it may not be the most picturesque area, the convenience of being in close driving proximity to everything more than makes up for it. Please note that we do not offer refunds for concerns related to the neighborhood, so book with confidence and enjoy your stay with us.
