My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Palmer Home. We stayed in the Magnolia suite and It was lovely. Everyone working at the Palmer Home was courteous and eager to make our stay great. The location is beautiful

I am a frequent guest at The Palmer Home B&B.I was married there just last year and it was the most beautiful place I could have ever imagined to be married! A friend and I stayed in that same suite for several days after the alleged "bedbug" incident and amazingly...no bites! Shame on you for making such horrible and malicious... More

We stayed in the Magnolia Suite less than a week ago... it was absolutely perfect. A large room with a separate sitting area, an antique armoire, and a shower with amazing water pressure!! It has a four poster, king sized bed and was one of the most comfortable nights sleep I've had in a long time ( this is saying... More

Do not stay there !at least don't stay in the magnolia suite wich is the only room on the main floor , meaning u have to walk through the kitchen to get to it. Very awkward. This place definitely lacked charm for a b&b . Not cozy or very friendly. the best part is the location but not worth gettjg... More

We just did a Girls-Get-Away for spring break & we could not have picked a better B&B! The home is gorgeous & comfortable w/ just the right amount of charm. I will be booking another stay this summer with my family!!!! Wouldn't stay anywhere else in Charleston. :)

We redeemed a Groupon certificate and stayed 2 nights in the Italian Room at the Palmer Home and it was fantastic! Overall: The historical integrity of the home was impressive and we felt the owner, who is a 3rd generation descendent, was so welcoming and we enjoying her goal to keep things as authentic as possible.

DO NOT even CONSIDER!! Terrible. My husband and I just stayed here and the place is old and run down. We stayed in the "suite" which is supposedly the nicest room and wow, if that was the nicest I hate to see other rooms. The whole house needs a re model. Keeping true to the era but modern updates.

I would also like to address the rest of your feedback. The Palmer Home was built in 1849, and some of our furniture, not including our mattresses, even pre-dates that. When guests... More

See above--too much to right just one sentence! Private parking is an added bonus, since almost all parking is on the street, and most is metered in 2-hour increments during the week. Be sure to visit the Calhoun House, right around the corner, with amazing objects d'art from every corner of the globe, the first elevator in a private home,... More

Really enjoyed the stay but had two things that kept the Palmer Home from a perfect score. We had a front room with a perfect view but had to go across the hallway to a private bathroom. It didn't bother me but my wife had a problem with it. Probably a trade off for the best room in the Inn.... More

This is a beautiful old mansion on the waterfront that is full of antique furniture and memorabilia. The rooms are very nice and the staff are gracious and very helpful. Breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese are served in the huge living room overlooking the harbor. We spent some quality time sipping wine on the second floor balcony watching dolphins... More
