*8.9* Morris Island Lighthouse: only 6 minutes away! (1,500 feet by foot)

Location to hospital. Room size was nice. Very quiet.

Earl, United States of America

It's a nice old property near the Medical University.

Susan, United States of America

After reading many of the reviews on TA we were a little apprehensive BUT everything was just fine. Parking was OK ...breakfast was minimuel but very good.

Lisa, United States of America

The House is off the beaten track, but not too far away from the hustle and bustle of Charleston's main drag. Great facilities and so clean and tidy, great breakfast too.

Philip, United States of America

Amy, the day manager was delightful and tried to make up for obvious shortcomings.

Jon, United States of America

The staff was lovely. We got there at the last minute and were leaving early. Since breakfast was at 8 and we would be gone already they provided us with some pastries and set us up with instructions for coffee. I would go back.

Ken, United States of America

The rooms are fabulous, the position of the house is perfect for walking around the old district, close to bars and restaurants, an easy 10 mins walk to the Battery. It is a great location, just off the well beaten path. Sitting on the balcony with a glass of wine - FAB!!!!!

Philip, United States of America

Porch provided some relaxing time Staff recommended a good restaurant for lunch

Harvey, United States of America

Rooms were nicely appointed though the bathroom was very small. The home itself was beautiful. The location was good, away from the central part of the city so quiet at night.

John, United States of America

Nice, clean, well-appointed and spacious room with fireplace and comfortable bed, off-street (but very compact) parking. Has the potential to be a very good B&B, but is falling short, being overpriced and unattended.

“when leaving i was told by innkeeper YOU DON'T HAVE TO STAY HERE.”
- • Couple
- • Room 2, Queen Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
bathroom in room #2 - to sit down on toilet had to put one foot in shower and other foot at an angle. the toilet and shower was the size of a bathtub---no room. Was given another room--no water pressure in shower / to use bathroom and shower, had to go into hallway. Rooms on second floor were cold. Another quest who was in room #4 asked if our room was cold too. With the water pressure and rooms being cold we did take a shower in the last 30 hours of our stay. There is only room to park five cars, three on fence and your mirror has to be inches from fence / if you have something like a F-150 you will have to park on street---a heads up- ticket meters work at night. At 8am is when they have coffee/ have this place not heard of Keurig. also why can you not setup breakfast with local restaurant. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS A B&B. The innkeeper does not know had to deal with the traveling person; cannot deal when you complain.
location was next to dental school

The car park is small and the details say it is not suitable for Pick Ups or SUV's, yet people still park them and usually take up 2 spaces, which is annoying for us who use cars.
The House is off the beaten track, but not too far away from the hustle and bustle of Charleston's main drag. Great facilities and so clean and tidy, great breakfast too.

“We moved out after two nights to our loss ($)”
- • Leisure trip

There was very little hospitable about this property. The coffee was percolated and weak, no breakfast, no happy hour, no hospitality when you arrived, i.e. ice water , cookies, wine or beer, fruit, fresh flowers,. Nothing that made one feel they anticipated your arrival. An unused porch and water feature. We left after two nights for the Emabassy Suites. Not the historic Charleston experience we were looking for.
Amy, the day manager was delightful and tried to make up for obvious shortcomings.

The room was by the noisy street and the bed softer then a good bed should be. The “Breakfast” was a muffin and croissant but not even juice. It was old furniture but not antiques. Most are stained or damaged. The baths were tiny. I looked in rooms as doors were left open since the operator was not there either day or night. You could barely put a toilet in at one side and shower the other and still turn around. It was more like a rooming house dressed up some. Never been to a B & B and no one is there - especially at night - and no one to help if you need it. Just have to leave recorded messages.
Really we went to see the historic district but you can’t walk there from the house. Too far but good if you are visiting the medical school.

It is almost impossible to reach anyone prior for questions on Charleston or the Inn. I found out why after arriving. No one is there during your stay! The keys are just left for you, there is no one there at night or day but in the morning the owner arrives to collect. The furniture is an attempt to use antiques but they are mismatched and in disrepair (not the beds though). It is definitely NOT a place to stay if you wish to be near the historic district to do or see things. Almost 1.5 miles to this area and not walkable.
Very convenient to UMSC

Showering is important to most travelers. Room one is lovely and I wasn't disappointed to find the bathroom cupboard sized. When I turned the water on and the hot setting was ice cold it occurs to me some handyman connected the pipes to the mixing valve backwards. Still I was ok with this peculiarity but when I turned it to cold I expected to get hot and only got almost warm. The sink had hot so it wasn't a supply problem but rather an equipment problem. Because this is the kind of thing that is fixable I'm surprised it exists. Everthing else was expected and lovely.
The staff was lovely. We got there at the last minute and were leaving early. Since breakfast was at 8 and we would be gone already they provided us with some pastries and set us up with instructions for coffee. I would go back.
