The location was perfect and the walks to get to all the activities/restaurants were beautiful. The hotel does not have many amenities but that didn't matter to us. The historic mansion was an incredible add to our stay in Charleston. The breakfast was a perfect start to the day. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Breakfasts were fine, but somewhat limited in options. Parking was extremely convenient, as we were able to park right outside the property every day we were there. Location was great. We were able to walk to great dining experiences and the park across the street was a great place to sit and chat. The top floor reading area was also a great place to relax.

The property is stunning. The room was comfortable, though it could have used more storage space. The plumbing is up-to-date, which is always a concern when booking a vintage property. The various on-duty managers were always friendly, charming and helpful. And it is delightful staying in this neighborhood! I would vigorously recommend this hotel.

If you are looking for a place to stay and experience the history of Charleston, i highly recommend this special place.
