Elliott House Inn

The hotel is in a prime location, but being next to the "hottest" new restaurant in Charleston --Husk--has made staying there very noisy. There was partying until way past midnight on Saturday night at Husk, and early every morning the trash truck came to take away a dozen containers of trash. Luckily we had earplugs that wiped out the most egregious of the noises. The room itself was fine, if a little small, but certainly well maintained and clean. We did get tired in our 4-night stay of the same second-rate banana muffin and low-fat yogurt for breakfast. A breakfast buffet would have been appreciated for the nearly $300 per night charge.

The Elliot House Inn is a lovely bed and breakfast with a fantastic location in town. The only downside of our stay was that our room was just a bit too small without a closet to hang our clothes. Other than that, out stay was perfect.

Room was compfy but plain. We expected much more. Breakfast was a huge disappointment for a B&B. Just the basic continental breakfast and the choices were limited. I've had much better at a chain motel. We passed on breakfast the second day and ate at Toast. Now there's a great breakfast. It's in the Days Inn on Meeting Street. Parking is off site and costs $20.00 a day. Other B&Bs we stayed at in Charleston validated parking tickets and your parking was free.

If you stay in this hotel make sure you are not on the ground floor or even the upper floors near the street. Our room was tiny, basic and extremely noisy. We were woken at 6am by a garbage truck and the noise continued with some kind of road work. The staff did not go out of their way to be helpful and overall this hotel was a huge disappointment for our one night in Charleston. The only saving grace was a relaxing time in the outdoor hot tub later in the evening, which was very quiet. I am sure there are much better place to stay with higher value for your money.

This hotel is central, with everything in walking distance. The rooms are small but well appointed, although there is limited closet space and the shower control in our room was difficult to use. Breakfast is modest but adequate, and it is nice have it delivered to your room. The courtyard is potentially very attractive, but needs sprucing up. On the whole, we enjoyed our stay.

The Elliot Inn is located on Queen Street, a block a way from King and Broad, in a very nice and convenient part of town. Husk and Poogan's Porch, two well rated restaurants, are right down the street. The Inn itself was charming and well decorated with ornate furniture/paintings and a four poster bed. Breakfast choices were a bit lacking, featuring store bought bagels, commercial yogurt with a crushed up granola bar, and Raisin Bran. They do offer the option to deliver it to your room though, which is nice. Also the hot water in the shower ran out in less than 5 minutes. While it was the morning, I personally still find it unacceptable for the hot water to run out in a hotel/inn, ever.

The location of this property is ideal. It is walkable to many restaurants. The restaurant, Husk, which is considered one of the top restaurants in Charleston, is directly next door. Just be sure to make your reservations for Husk several weeks ahead! There is a wonderful walking tour that operates out of the Mill House, across the street. The ambiance of the court yard is lovely. Some of the desk personnel are more knowledgable and helpful than others. There is an elevator to bring your luggage up, if you are on a higher floor. The continental breakfast is a plus, and you can choose what time you would like it delivered to your room or the courtyard. There is a hot tub, which we did not use. There is a complimentary wine and cheese reception, in the courtyard, every day at 5pm. Brandy is complimentary at the reception area. A lot of nice perks, and a lovely location to walk around.

We were lookining for something other than your typical hotel and found this on the internet. The room and bathroom were spotless. The location was great & the staff was friendly. There is no on site parking, but there is a parking garage across the street. The 5:00 wine and cheese was nice outside in the courtyard. Will definitely return.

Our first visit to Charleston. We found the accommodations very pleasant and the location terrific to explore from.
