Excellent experience!

A very cozy and clean experience, from start to finish. The one concern we had going into this was the shared bathroom, however, it was well maintained and clean throughout the entire trip. Communication with the property manager was fast and thorough every time! 10/10 would recommend to anyone going to Charleston.

Incredible Hospitality

Karen, who runs the Inn, was absolutely amazing. She was so quick to respond to my texts and helped me resolve any issues I had. Her hospitality made me and my wife’s trip that much better. I can’t thank her enough for all that she did for us on such a special trip. We would stay here again.

Well located clean but noisy

Good location - walked to all the sights in 30-40 mins, clean and comfortable bed. The noise being an old property was an issue for us, both the sirens/helicopters (it’s next to ED) and the internal noise of us/others creaking up and down stairs in the night to the shared bathroom. Heavy sleepers would be fine though.

Nice spot close to colleges and King St.

Our stay was lovely! The only downside was the bathroom being on the second floor and our room being on the third floor. Separate bathroom was on the listing I just wasn’t aware it wasn’t on the same floor.

Problems started on the front porch. No manager on-site. Front door locked. Pressed doorbell and got a recording that no one was available. Called on the telephone, same result. Half an hour of waiting for a return call — none came — and called again. This time someone answered. She said she'd sent me an e-mail but none came. Told me the code for entering the building. Room on the third floor — no elevator — bathroom/shower on the second floor. Bathroom shared with other building occupants. Manager said this was disclosed on their website but the acknowledged that other people had trouble seeing anything about that, too. Trucks driving by all night long, huge noise.
