Etienne

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The location is good. The staff was friendly. The included breakfast was good. The availability of coffee and teas was a pleasant commodity. The room that we had was very dated. The bed and HVAC were comfortable. However the seating accommodation was pretty dated. Two wooden chairs and a corner table were there if we didn't sit on the bed. The bathroom was small and poorly lit. Definitely not a room to spend an evening at the location. It was fine for sleeping and getting ready in the morning.

Great place to stay.

Our three night stay in the Barksdale House Inn was an enjoyable experience as much for the staff as the Inn itself. Nothing was too much trouble and the included afternoon tea with a glass of wine was much appreciated. The Inn is in an enviable location for all that Charleston has to offer.
