My stay at the Inn was delightful. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed, and full of historic charm, though some tables with dirty dishes were left uncleared during breakfast. The location was superb, allowing easy access to the historic area and downtown Charleston. The dining experience was fancy and delicious, especially the tea time treats. Overall, a great stay with a few minor hiccups that didn't overshadow the wonderful features of the Inn.

Rooms

The rooms were one of the largest I've stayed in, with 2 fireplaces and a living room area. The front parlor facing Broad street and the beautifully appointed bed room area separated by handsome pocket doors added to the historic feel of the Inn.
Service

The staff was consistently friendly and accommodating, ensuring a comfortable stay. However, there was an obnoxious stain on the mattress that was overlooked by the staff.
