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!

The property is perfect for a trip to explore downtown Charleston. It’s close to everything. The staff is great; everyone was helpful and welcoming. Rooms are spacious and nicely decorated. I’d suggest getting a room that faces a courtyard or rear of property. Street view could get loud in the evenings.

Stayed 1 night and wished we could stay 1 or 2 more! Hotel is beautifully maintained. Room was clean and inviting. Staff was excellent! Maggie was aces! Great location - walkable to restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. We did a harbor tour, which was great. Loved seeing the dolphins! The wine reception is wonderful! Parking was in a nearby garage, about 5 minute walk. The Inn let us borrow umbrellas in case it rained. Highly recommend and we will be returning!

This hotel was wonderful. The rooms were clean and full of charm. There was a cute courtyard where you could enjoy free wine and cheese at night and breakfast on the morning. The staff was kind and helpful. You couldn’t ask for a better location. It’s right on King Street with all the shops. We walked 10 mins to Rainbow Row and the pier with the Pineapple Fountain. My husband and son did the quick walk to the ferry to go to Fort Sumter. My kids all thought that this was the best hotel they have ever stayed at which is saying a lot. We can’t wait to go back again!
