    We chose The Barksdale House because it checked all our boxes and we were more than satisfied.

    Can’t think of anything disappointing. Was perfect balance of location, comfort and value. Staff was great and it was exactly what I was looking for.

    Location was good and great when you think about the price. Excellent staff, breakfast and experience for my little family.

    The sink in the bathroom was very slow, and it was the only sink.

    The breakfast was great! The staff was very friendly and helpful when needed. The room was very clean, and had plenty of towels and things that were needed.

    As others have flagged, the rooms are a bit tired. The annex doesn't have the charm of the main house, but even that is looking a bit faded itself. Our bathroom felt a bit cramped with the toilet right next to the bath. The towel rail fell off the wall when I lifted a towel off it, and the sink was badly cracked. The rooms aren't very well soundproofed - our upstairs neighbours moved around a lot during the night and other guests were opening and closing doors at all hours, so earplugs would be a good bet.

    The room was really spacious and well equipped, there was lots of furniture with space for clothes and a small seating area with the bathroom off that. The furniture fits the period feel of the house and looks good in the room, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean and tidy. The staff member who greeted us was very friendly and welcoming and explained everything clearly - we didn't really come into contact with the staff again after that, which was fine as we didn't need anything. There is free coffee, tea and snacks outside the room. There are plenty of sockets and usb slots to charge a phone.

    The breakfast was wonderful as we had it both mornings of our stay out in the patio, which was very nice! The staff was very attentive, and breakfast took no time at all to be served. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. I’m sorry we only had three days and two nights stay in Charleston but will be Back soon and plan to stay at your inn again and look to more of the historic downtown Charleston. Thanks again Mark and Maureen from Cape Cod

    The room was on the top floor but we were helped up with our luggage. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was excellent. We had very poor water pressure in the sink and shower. It was an historic b and b so these things don't really bother us. We were allowed to wait till our afternoon flight and they stored our luggage and we always had access to hot coffee and snacks.

    We found the location was very good. A bit of a walk down Meeting Street to get to historic sites but still central enough.

    Our room had blinded windows, I guess because the veranda was right in front of it. Entrance to the oarking can easily be missed and you can end up in a public parking lot (we did, see picture, left is the hotel driveway) got charged 60$ for getting in and out immediately, but that’s not to blame on the hotel.

    Downtown locataion, lovely furnished rooms, great a la carte menue, very friendly and caring staff

    Water pressure in shower was poor, but accept that is to be expected in an old property. The air conditioning was a little noisy during the night & no instructions available on how to operate/adjust it.

    We loved the history of the property & original features. It was stunning to look at & in a perfect location for walking everywhere in Charleston. Staff were amazing, so welcoming & friendly.
