Very nice location and good facility, but
Posted Jul 17, 2017
Pros: Location
Cons: Quality of service and breakfast.
Location: Three upscale/famous restaurants, City Market, Slave Museum
We expected to receive the warm southern hospitality like we received in Savannah right before staying at this hotel, but there was no warm welcome attitude/words when we checked in on 6/17(Sat). We told the hotel prior to our arrival when exchanging e-mail that we're going to celebrate our 25th anniversary while staying, but it was never mentioned during our 4-night stay. We had 2 suitcases, but no luggage assistant was offered and we even had to open and hold the hotel office door by ourselves to carry them. The other two guys in the mornings were nice and helpful.
Charming courtyard, but could not spend time much there due to bugs flying around. Wine/cheese service at 5pm? was nice - every day the same things though.
We had a king/courtyard room - the room was small but OK, did not hear noise from outside, but maybe it was because the a/c in the room was very loud like having a storm outside. Bathroom amenities - something was always not provided/missing every single day. Breakfast was free - the quality was poor, but the coffee was good, and it is a nice service that they can deliver to your room.
Three famous restaurants are next to the hotel and the parking was just across the street, so the location was very nice; however by considering how much we paid for 4 nights to stay and it service, we regretted very much that we selected this hotel to celebrate our special anniversary.

I apologize for the events that took place during your stay with us. I'm sorry that you didn't get the welcome and well wishes that you had expected for celebrating your anniversary, however this information was not conveyed to the hotel from when you mentioned to the Expedia team and I'm sorry. I hope that you'll give us another try next time you visit Charleston - you are owed true southern hospitality and I have no doubt that our team can "wow" you, if given another chance.

Beautiful hotel!
Posted Jul 5, 2017
Pros: Clean, friendly staff, comfortable bed, big windows, big bathroom, great shower
Cons: N/a
Location: Went to eat at Chef and the Farmer and Boiler Room. A lot of history and things to see and do that we didn't know about until leaving town.
We went to town for one night and I'm so glad we stayed here. Zach was awesome! Very friendly, super helpful. The room looked like it had JUST been renovated, but it hasn't, so they do a really good job keeping it clean. I didn't realize until after I left, the elevator is the first elevator in NC. It's really a cool place and if you are going to Kinston, I would stay here for sure.

Lovely Hotel central to Historic Charleston
Posted Jul 3, 2017
Pros: The room, breakfast in bed, the staff, views and proximity to town.
Cons: Due simply to the oldness of construction, there were a few places with standing water that were slip hazards. This could be improved upon.
Location: Great walking tours and simply walking and exploring. Great shops and GODIVA at the Charleston Place. Yummy restaurants are everywhere.
This was a quick business trip, but we managed to squeeze in a bit of fun. The hotel was very well located for the walking tour we went on and several great restaurants near by. We had dinner at Poogan's Porch and loved the atmosphere and variety of starters. Back at the room, there was a cozy king size bed and nice bathroom. We also had a private balcony on the back side of the B&B. We also had wonderful views overlooking the courtyard from the front door. Having breakfast delivered to the room was an added bonus! We will definitely book here again and probably plan a much longer visit. Also, the gentleman checking us in and manning the front desk was a wealth of knowledge and had a wonderful disposition. Very easy to talk to and super friendly.

Pros: staff and location
Cons: Room A/C fixed or replaced

Everyone was very nice and helpful and we enjoyed exploring Charleston from this location. The air conditioner in our room was loud and the bed too soft for us but we still had a wonderful time there.

Great Location
Posted May 26, 2017
Pros: The location was wonderful. Within walking distance of restaurants, open market, ghost tours, churches and other tourist sites!
Cons: More space for luggage, add additional luggage rack.
Quaint southern old time charm. Reminded us of a bed and breakfast decor. In fact, they did serve a lovely breakfast and even brought to your room at time requested. Lovely courtyard area. Some noise from city sanitation trucks and construction around hotel early in the AM.
