Lovely! Would highly recommend
Pros:

Cute little guest house. Typical Charleston style house. Perfect location for French quarter near everything but down a quiet street. Bedroom was perfect and breakfast was lovely.

Cons:

Room was quite light in the mornings, wasn’t a problem for us but might be for others.

If my future plans ever bring me back this way, this is where I will be staying!
Pros:

This was such a quaint little place. With its 5-6 (?) rooms it is much more personal that staying at a large hotel. The staff were extremely nice. We were able to drop our luggage off prior to check in and parking. Parking is a little bit of an issue but not horrible. Don’t drive your big truck/SUV if you have a smaller option. Those parking garages are tight! The lobby is lovely and pretty well appointed for your continental breakfast. (Hot/cold beverages, oatmeal, pastries, egg bites, yogurt) There is an alcove prior to entering the room that offers coffee/tea/water. The room was incredibly cozy with great bed/pillow/linens; also with a mini fridge, bottle opener, water, and cookies. The bathroom has updates that include a nice rain head shower. Check in is 2:00pm. Check out is 11:00am. The location is amazing!!! Once you get to the corner, and look left, you see the Market. If my future plans ever bring me back this way, this is where I will be staying!

Cons:

The parking isn’t ideal, but this is Charleston and to be expected. There are several options close by. Two open air lots on the same block as the hotel, perfect if you’re in a large vehicle, but higher in price. The least expensive is about 4 blocks away, and a very tight fit parking garage.

schönes Hotel für den kurzen Aufenthalt
Pros:

charmantes Haus, gute Lage, geschmackvolles Zimmer, gutes Frühstück

Cons:

das Hotel ist ein altes Holzhaus, sehr charmant aber eben auch schon ziemlich alt. Das Zimmer "hing" tatsächlich etwas zu einer Seite, die offene Tür am Bad ging von alleine wieder zu, die geschlossene Zimmertür immer wieder auf. Das Zimmer war relativ klein, trotzdem standen noch zwei Sessel, ein Tisch und eine Bank für den Koffer drin. Das Wasser tröpfelte aus der Dusche, es dauerte etwas, bis der Schaum aus den Haaren war.
Insgesamt scheint das Preisniveau in Charleston ungewöhnlich hoch zu sein; dieses Hotel war jedenfalls das teuerste auf unserer Rundreise, inklusive NewYorkCity

Old but charming

Beautiful and unique and close to everything in old town Charleston
Pros:

Very cute little inn with unique and pretty decorations. Walking distance to everything, and parking very close by. Staff was wonderful and super helpful!

Cons:

We liked everything, just be aware that all but one bedroom will be upstairs, requiring climbing a narrow staircase. But if that’s not a problem, then this location will be perfect.

Very pleasant.
Pros:

Location was great and bijou is a great description

Cons:

A little more run down than expected and the shared lounge breakfast area didn’t work well for us. Bed was not as comfortable as hoped for - too soft and the plastic mattress cover made the sheet slippy.

Pros:

The location in the was great, walking distance to shops, restaurants in the French Quarter. The room was clean and the bed was really comfortable. Nice little breakfast in the morning.

Pros:

The hotel is located in a great spot, very close to everything in the downtown historic area. The AC situation in the room was not the best, I understand it’s an old building but… all in all it is a good place for the price.

Great location but quite basic.
Pros:

The location was great. Walking distance to everything you need.

Cons:

It was a little run down/worn out. The bedding and towels were clean but the housekeeping could have been a little better. The breakfast also wasn’t quite as described and seemed to be left out over night.
