    Not many outlets in my room. I like having my phone charge beside me so i can check the time, but that's just my thing. I had brought a long charging cord. So it turned out fine for me. I really don't have any complaints. Everything was fantastic.

    The room was beautiful! The inn its self was very nice. The rooms have antique furniture, which i loved. The room was very clean. Loved the little courtyard. Close to everything. Breakfast was delicious, they have snacks out all day, and tea time, they have finger sandwiches, with different teas and wine out. The staff was very friendly! I would highly recommend this place, it has more of a home feel than a hotel feel. Staff was willing to go above and beyond for any of your needs!

    No lift but this was a minor inconvenience

    Very pleasant old world charm with comfortable room and friendly staff and the breakfasts were excellent. The location is ideal and within reasonable walking distance to the reataurants in the Market area and they even have a discount voucher for T Bonz restaurant, which they own, which is excellent for dinner. Good parking facilities which is a bonus in this part of Charleston.

    Charleston is very expensive generally and so the price was to be expected. Minor repairs needed to our bathroom floor.

    Fantastic location, in the middle of the historic district, excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful staff. The house is full of character.

    I was in the cottage behind the main house and the wifi signal couldn't be found on multiple devices during the entire stay, despite alerting the staff. The lower rooms of the cottage can be a bit noisy from the door closing as guests come and go. If you stay on a lower floor expect to hear walking from the rooms above.

    The staff was super friendly. It was really easy to checkin late. The location is great. It has parking. The breakfast was good.

    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
