Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was absolutely wonderful! The rooms were perfectly conditioned, ranging from standard hotel rooms to large suites that were both cozy and awesome. The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to be friendly and hospitable. The location was ideal, allowing easy exploration of historic downtown. The dining experience was a delightful treat with fancy and delicious options.
My stay at the Inn was delightful. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and full of historic charm, though some tables with dirty dishes were left uncleared during breakfast. The location was superb, allowing easy access to the historic area and downtown Charleston. The dining experience was fancy and delicious, especially the tea time treats. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups that didn't overshadow the wonderful features of the Inn.
