Clean room, good location. Not much within walking distance, but restaurants and the beach were just a short drive. Breakfast was not provided so we found a nice local coffee shop. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Very clean rooms and friendly staff. They've done such a great job preserving this historic landmark. It's a real experience staying there. Funny note - our window kept opening by itself when we slept at night. The room got pretty cold so I told the owner about it and apparently it might have been a ghost. True story.
Great location right in the center of Charleston. The hotel history was very unique. Had a fantastic sleep in the room. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Had a great dinner and also a breakfast for ourselves and friends in the morning. Grounds had a flea market that was fun to walk around. Will be back next summer!
Love the history of the building and the way it has been maintained even with the addition of modern conveniences in the guest rooms! A history buff's dream location!!
Lovely historic property. Comfortable beds, very nice bathrooms, warm environment. Continental breakfast was excellent with fresh out of the oven blueberry muffins and the most amazing homemade butter! I'm coming back!
Lovely stay in historic hotel, with renovated, clean and comfortable rooms. Enjoyed continental breakfast. Fun to learn about the history of each of the dining rooms.
Convenient US-1 location with access to beaches, parks, hiking trails, Watch Hill shopping and fishing docks.
Lovely historic inn, recently remodeled, with a restaurant and bar. Friendly staff, immaculately clean room. Nice bedding and a firm mattress - yay! Close to South County beaches and Ninigret Park. Highly recommend!
The General Stanton Inn is beautifully restored and a historic gem. We loved our room, newly renovated. The restaurant is fantastic as well, and would be worth the visit for that alone.
Ok so let me say , I have stayed at many a hotel but this stay surpassed them all honestly. We were greeted at the front desk and I want to say her name is Nancy and I’m sorry if I got that wrong , but she was lovely and took my daughter and I on a tour of this historic inn. Felicia the manager upgraded our room to a colonial double on the second floor when she learned my daughter and I were interested in the ghostly happenings recorded at this inn. It was my daughter’s 30th birthday and we got to our room and found a birthday card waiting for her there. Such a kind gesture and much appreciated. We did experience some very friendly ghostly activity which made our stay even better. Their restaurant located in the inn was excellent ! If you go you need to get the garlic bread tower.. so good ! George Washington has stayed here as well as other very worldly Presidents and historic figures. I won’t spoil it for you as for us it was so much fun hearing about the history by its staff members. The rooms themselves are very small and basic which adds to its appeal . The beds were very comfortable and the bath had all the amenities. This inn is one I highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again honestly ! Thank you to the staff who made our stay so memorable ! Customer Service is very strong here! @generalstantoninn
