Built in 1778, this historic inn, decorated in a European-style, features uniquely decorated rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available. Old City Market is 650 metres away and the College of Charleston is 150 metres from the inn. We had an excellent stay at Barksdale House Inn. Breakfasts were tasty and filling. The Inn was close to everything we wanted to see in Charleston. The staff were very friendly and we appreciated the opportunity to store our luggage after checkout as we weren’t leaving til late afternoon. We would stay at the Barksdale House Inn again.

This 4-star Downtown Charleston hotel is 3 minutes' walk of Charleston City Market and Waterfront Park. The hotel offers a rooftop pool with mosaic bottom, free WiFi, as well as 2 on-site restaurants.

Grill 225 steakhouse serves fresh seafood with an extensive wine list and dessert menu. The room was large and very well appointed, with comfortable seating, a huge bed, and a nice desk for working. I liked the decor, which gave a sense of heritage to the hotel. The bathroom was clean and well-equipped, and the shower was hot and powerful - there was an abundance of towels! I enjoyed the self-service breakfast each morning, and appreciated hot, fresh coffee being available all morning. The hotel has an excellent location, close to the market and a short walk to anywhere in the historical district. During my stay I walked everywhere and only needed to take alternative transport when travelling to and from the airport. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and I felt well taken care of throughout my stay - the turn down service was very nice.

Overlooking Charleston City Market on Market Street, this historic French Quarter Inn welcomes guests with champagne at check-in and serves a free daily gourmet continental breakfast. Waterfront Park is 450 m away. We visited Charleston for the first time as a family of four with our two teenage boys age 13 and 16. From the moment we arrived the service was exceptional. Special thanks to the valet who ran upstairs to find out if our room was ready early (it was) and had our car parked and bags in our room before we even got there! We especially loved the complimentary milk and cookies each night (8:30-9:30 pm) and Detox Water and lemonade any time we needed it after hours of walking and sightseeing. This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in largely because of the friendly staff including the cleaning staff. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
