This one is a bummer. The inn and tavern are amazing. Historic, preserved immaculately, cozy with warm toned woods and just an absolute vibe. Conversely the updated rooms that are outside the inn are sooooooo bad. They are not at all what you’d expect from a beautiful historic location. It literally felt like we were in a hospital room. It was sterile and cold feeling, with literally no life to the room at all. It was such a missed mark by the owners. If they just warmed those rooms up and kept it on theme with the rest of the place, this would be an A+++++ stay. As it is, the room was so cold and sterile we didn’t stay due it home only being an hour away. Such a shame 🙁

Great location right in the center of Charleston. The hotel history was very unique. Had a fantastic sleep in the room. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Had a great dinner and also a breakfast for ourselves and friends in the morning. Grounds had a flea market that was fun to walk around. Will be back next summer!

Hi, We enjoyed our stay. The room is small, but quaint. My wife suggested a couple of enhancements that would make it easier to get ready for an outing. Adding a mirror in the bedroom area with lighting to allow for makeup and/or add lighting above the mirror in the bathroom. There were a few people sitting outside our window on the patio and talking after 10:00 Friday night. They weren't too loud, but you might consider a policy limiting sitting outside Room 3's window after a certain time. Thx for listening.

The hotel was immaculate. My bed was extremely comfortable and the linens were fantastic. There was a snow storm over night and in the morning one of the staff members was working a clearing snow and took the time to come help me clear my car of the ice and snow. Really exceptional and greatly appreciated. I will be back for sure.

Nice find

The General Stanton Inn is a nice find in Charlestown, RI. I stayed with friends on New Year's Eve just to get out of the city. Booked with Hotels.com and the whole process was flawless. They even upgraded my reservation.

We had a wonderful experience at The General Stanton Inn - it was a last minute booking and we were SO happy with our experience! The decor and attention to detail was charming the rooms were beautifully done and the bathroom remodel in our suite was magnificent! The Tavern was amazing, the food delish….the bartenders were great but Christina was on point! The history added to the charm of the Inn! Well done David & Jackie well done! We will certainly be back!!
