Will be back again

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!

Historic gem.

The General Stanton Inn is beautifully restored and a historic gem. We loved our room, newly renovated. The restaurant is fantastic as well, and would be worth the visit for that alone.

Amazing Stay!!

This was our first time very amazing. Rustic look with a at home feel to it. A restaurant and tavern on premises and good continental breakfast ready by 8am. The staff were helpful and kind. Beach was only 15 mins down the road and a mini mart there houses away very convenient. Definitely planning another stay.

I was warmly greeted the moment I walked in to check in and was then escorted to my room. The room was immaculate and the bed so comfortable. Not a speck of mold or mildew in the bathroom. Despite the age of the Inn, it was in such nice shape and so well maintained. This Inn is loved by the owners who clearly take pride in it.
