This was presented as a b&b. There was no staff just a door code and a bagel sandwich for breakfast. Basically an air b&b room. This should be stated in the Expedia listing

Stayed at this beautiful B&B for nights, loved the straight forward but fresh filled bagel and yoghurt options for breakfast, also the available drinks and snacks. Was lucky to have gorgeous weather and enjoy our breakfast on the wrap around porch. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. Accommodation prob 10-15 min walk from downtown but we easily booked Ubers, the on site parking was great meaning we could easily access our car and also get onto the interstates to visit further afield. Only gripe was our room was a little bit dark sine brighter lighting would make some tasks easier for those of us without 20/20 vision.

The property is very beautiful, what I expected. The room is clean and I love the Nespresso coffee, water, & snack bar. My only complaint is it’s very noisy; other patrons are treating the common area as if it’s an Air Bnb; yelling up the stairs to one another, & just loud. It’s not the restful night I thought I’d have. I really love the room and area but maybe a stay during the week would be better.

Lovely getaways from work hustle

A selection of cute rooms and a gorgeous parlor room with plenty of seating, work space, amenities from the coffee, drinks, and snack bars. Wrap around porch for cool evening seating, bicycles, and fire pit for coziness. Rooms include fridge, coffee machines, and smart TVs. Great AC and bath options. Some street noise/traffic and roadwork at some times.

Cozy Charleston Getaway

By far the best place ive stayed in a while. The area was clean and quiet. Self check in process was easy. The bike rental concept was great. I enjoyed exploring Charleston on a bike. Breakfast offered was simple and accommodating.

SO CUTE! we stayed in room 3 and everything was stunning. We spent a lot of time on the verandah, which was gorgeous shared space. The breakfast, snacks and drinks were an awesome extra.

Be aware if it matters; it is not a full service bed and breakfast. There is no staff on site usually. The room and accommodations were fine but its more a self service model. Also it is about a mile or so to most of the main 'attractions' if walking is an issue.

My room was clean as a whistle, I felt like I was almost back in the 1800s LOL... Brand new bath, lots of towels, comfy bed, antique wooden floors..14ft ceilings.... Room number 2 was small but cozy very enjoyable. Nice little sitting area beautiful veranda.... The breakfast sandwich was excellent....

This is a beautiful old home and our room was lovely. The bathroom was gorgeous - the only thing I would change is to add a second mirror as the one above the sink was small and not very clear. A full length in the room would be amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was lack listed. Some real milk for coffee would have been nice. But there are cafes within walking distance and an amazing French patisserie in town. We would stay here again if we came back to Charleston.

So much potential but poorly run

The property is managed by a property manager rather than an innkeeper. There were many problems. Our kitchen wasn’t clean, the promised breakfast was late and not good. The website says housekeeping is included but the housekeeper didn’t show. When I asked her about it she said I had to request service and pay for it. The coffee machine wasn’t working, the creamer was not fresh. The attention to detail is sorely lacking. The Carriage house is cute, but the service was absolutely terrible for $500+ per night. There was no space in the bathrooms for toiletries. Towel hooks were positioned next to the toilet. Absolutely no amenities. Waters were promised in the rooms and never provided. This property has potential but the execution needs work.

Room 2 was loud in the very early am. Could hear all movement on the stairs- probably to be expected in historic property, but there was also loud construction or some kind of engine nearby starting at 6 am every day including the weekend. Couldnt figure out the thermostat so it was cold at night. Also they wouldnt give us a late checkout, which I understand but was still a bit frustrating. A warning about the early morning noise would be nice.

Although the place from the outside is attractive and quaint, it all ends there. What you cannot tell from the pictures is that it is across the street from a major Medical Center. This means there are cars driving by all day and night and sirens are going off. The building has original windows, and the noise is extensive. We arrived, and the refrigerator was not ready to fill; we had to put the shelves in straight so it could hold our items. Please note that there is no freezer section to this refrigerator. The WiFi connection was spotty at best. It was out more than it was intact. As a result, the TV would cut in and out. The floors had a strange substance on them that was oily or greasy, which was particularly difficult on the tile floors in the bathroom. The sink did not adequately drain either. The bed was comfortable and towels were of decent quality. The morning breakfast was one choice—a warmed bagel with American cheese, a rubbery fried egg, and some kind of chicken…awful! They did have a variety of drinks to take with you i.e. water, sodas, but no Milk or OJ for non-coffee drinkers. They had bikes to use…and in good weather…everything is doable on a bike but nothing of interest is really in walkable distance, which means you end up paying parking fees when you go to see points of interest. We will not be back…a disappointment overall for the amount paid!
