Great value and amazing location

Given the awesome rate I was able to secure online, you can't get much more of a pleasant stay in downtown Charleston for the money. The Anchorage Inn packs in plenty of extras that add value, including a continental breakfast, wine and cheese happy hour, as well as evening sherry service. Our innkeeper Lathronia was so warm and kind, and really made our trip special. Also, most of the major city highlights are within walking distance. We didn't move the car once!

For a perfect happy hour / app bar crawl, try Squeeze, Cypress, McCrady's and Pearlz. All are within a few blocks of each other.

Charming place to stay

The Anchorage in Charleston, SC was a great place to stay. Staff was extremely friendly and you can't beat the location, being a short walking distance for almost everything in the historic district. Only criticism would be that there is no coffee or refrigerator in the room BUT the complimentary breakfast was better than most restaurants. Wine and cheese in the afternoon and sherry in the evening are very nice touches. The rooms and public areas are beautifully appointed. Would definitly consider staying here again.

Very charming

This Bed & Breakfast was very charming. The bedroom was very attractive & comfortable, and the stairway with its large railings was visually pleasing. It seemed like a larger than usual B&B. The library where they held their afternoon wine & cheese reception was nice, as was the adjoining room where the buffet breakfast was held. Convenient location in the historic area. Very helpful staff.

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

Don't order a mixed drink anywhere if it contains 2 or more liquors because they charge $6-8 per liquor. For a rusty nail I was charged $6 for the scotch and $8 for the drambieue (which should have been only a splash).

VERY QUAINT

The room was cozy and a little bit worn down. The pillows and bed linens could be replaced. However the amenities such as wine and cheese and sherry in the evenings were delightful. We found the concierge service to be very helpful.
