Nice large, clean room and comfortable beds in a good location on the main shopping road. Staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was a little basic but was served to your table which was nice. Parking was in garage on 5th floor behind and across from building so it was not convenient for loading and unloading of vehicle for suitcases. Overall a nice stay in good location. Loved the indoor outdoor areas and the double sinks in bathroom

Parking was easy, following the guidance given on their website under frequently asked questions. The staff was friendly and the room was clean. It’s conveniently located and having breakfast and happy hour included is nice. Being able to quickly grab morning coffee from the lobby was great. Super cute place and pleasant stay, I would stay again.

This inn is adorable, quaint, and the perfect stay for an easily walkable trip in Downtown Charleston. Rooms are very clean and peaceful. I loved staying here! Would definitely come back. The served complimentary breakfast, the wine and cheese, and the nighttime sherry are such wonderful additions that make this place feel so special. The courtyard is so nice. You feel like you are in your own little oasis here. Staff is friendly and helpful! Thank you!
