Mattress firm to the extreme and not level. No on-site baggage storage. No on-site management (which meant management was not aware the smoke detectors were wired in and were being tested by a technician on on property rather than ringing due to batteries needing to be replaced). Not a true b&b in that there were only boxed meals to go.

Our stay at The Nicholas was absolutely wonderful! The room was beautiful — perfectly decorated in a classic Southern style, elegant yet cozy, with so much attention to detail. We loved the concept of being completely independent, without a traditional front desk, yet everything worked flawlessly. The check-in and check-out process was super easy, and we never had a single issue. The room and bathroom were spotless, and everything felt fresh and well cared for. Breakfast was such a pleasant surprise — they offered delicious egg sandwiches (beautifully packed!), a great variety of fresh fruit, and bottled water. It was a grab-and-go breakfast, but presented in a very elegant room that made it feel special. The location couldn’t be better — right in the heart of Charleston, walking distance to shops, galleries, and all the main attractions. We honestly had such a great time and will definitely return soon. Highly recommend this charming and stylish place for anyone who wants to experience Charleston with comfort and authenticity. 🌿

We loved the pool and the location. The house was beautiful and our room was too. However, the listing on Expedia says there is “free” offsite parking 0.3 miles away. When we arrived the spots on the property were full so I took the parking suggestion sent in my guidebook and headed to the 34 St Phillips Street Parking Garage. When I got there I found out that parking was in fact not free, but $1 per 20 minutes with a maximum of $24. I was willing to pay this, but was disappointed because I booked The Nicholas partially because of the free parking.

The room was beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. When I got my message from them, the door code was blank so I had to call but got my code immediately when I called. There is no staff onsite. The building is very old so it's charming but unless you were running the heat 100% of the time, it got very cold! The heater has a bright light on it to tell you what temp it is which was not great for sleeping. Very charming but a little bumpy getting in.
