Although the place from the outside is attractive and quaint, it all ends there. What you cannot tell from the pictures is that it is across the street from a major Medical Center. This means there are cars driving by all day and night and sirens are going off. The building has original windows, and the noise is extensive. We arrived, and the refrigerator was not ready to fill; we had to put the shelves in straight so it could hold our items. Please note that there is no freezer section to this refrigerator. The WiFi connection was spotty at best. It was out more than it was intact. As a result, the TV would cut in and out. The floors had a strange substance on them that was oily or greasy, which was particularly difficult on the tile floors in the bathroom. The sink did not adequately drain either. The bed was comfortable and towels were of decent quality. The morning breakfast was one choice—a warmed bagel with American cheese, a rubbery fried egg, and some kind of chicken…awful! They did have a variety of drinks to take with you i.e. water, sodas, but no Milk or OJ for non-coffee drinkers. They had bikes to use…and in good weather…everything is doable on a bike but nothing of interest is really in walkable distance, which means you end up paying parking fees when you go to see points of interest. We will not be back…a disappointment overall for the amount paid!

Patio was worn down, pads on seats were dirty, lights were out at night until I called and complained because we couldn’t sit in patio. Cockroaches in my room twice, main room & bathroom, outlets didn’t work, only bath outlet worked, had to call and leave message, bed lamps didn’t work at all. communication was by phone/text. Had to wait till next day to get clean towels because no staff on premises. Only saw 1 staff person two times for a short period. Fireplaces in rooms and downstairs are only for looks?? The only thing that was suitable was suitable was the Nespresso coffee makers and water bottles from Costco. Pictures on website must be from years ago right after touch up paint, wall paper and new fixtures. sad to say wouldn’t recommend. We would have been better off at Hampton inn or Holiday inn

Great access in a safe area, next to the Medical University of South Carolina. Parking was free and MUCH appreciated for a medium sized SUV. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants , even the water front We will most definitely be back . The price was very reasonable for the area, downtown and the size of room #7 was nice !!!!

Stayed at this beautiful B&B for nights, loved the straight forward but fresh filled bagel and yoghurt options for breakfast, also the available drinks and snacks. Was lucky to have gorgeous weather and enjoy our breakfast on the wrap around porch. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. Accommodation prob 10-15 min walk from downtown but we easily booked Ubers, the on site parking was great meaning we could easily access our car and also get onto the interstates to visit further afield. Only gripe was our room was a little bit dark sine brighter lighting would make some tasks easier for those of us without 20/20 vision.

Been in many hotels worldwide. This is the worst of the worst. First of all , this is not hotel. This is B&B. No staff around. If you have problem , you should call a call center , in Atlanta, with no good English speaker , they won’t answer you and you need to wait up to 24 (!) hours so they will call yoy back.

Bed and a sandwich

It was dark in our room. The shades did not work. Very little light. When we plugged in the heater it shorted out our elec for two days. The fan in the bathroom was so load, cudnt hear myself think. There was no service. There idea of service was to stack cases high of water and soft drinks. It was very noisy all night. The stay was terrible. I don’t believe the reviews I read. Cudnt wait to get out of that dam b & b, and that’s using the term very loosely.
