“Quaint and clean with great location but not well-soundproofed.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

We stayed in room #15 on the night of 2/12/12 and, overall, it was a good experience, i.e., staff (Neal) was very friendly and helpful and the accommodations were decent and clean. The location at Queen Street (in the middle of the historic district) is excellent and being adjacent to The Bar at Husk is a definite bonus...delicious hand crafted Prohibition cocktails.

The noise transmitting from the second floor room above us, however, was enough to wake us up and keep from getting a restful night's sleep. Maybe if we had stayed on the second or third floor we would have has a much better experience and given a higher rating. We did use a Groupon, which cost $99 so this was not an issue but, given our experience with room #15, we were very glad not to have paid full-price.

Room Tip: Don't stay in room #15...noisy from above and right next to kitchen entrance at Husk.

“A Wonderful Stay Representing Historic Charleston”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We Recently stayed for 4 days/3 nights at this charming Bed and Breakfast hotel. The minute we arrived, Grace at the front desk welcomed us and checked us in, answering all of our questions about the inn. Our room was beautiful and the bathroom was very nice. Sometimes in older buildings, the bathrooms seem to be in disrepair, but the newly renovated place was clean and modern. The shower had both a handheld and an overhead shower head. The toiletries were also very nice. Our room had a nice sized flat screened TV hanging on the wall, which my husband was very happy about. The rest of the room was appointed nicely.

We arrived just in time to experience the Wine and Cheese reception. Iced tea was also served if wine did not appeal. There was a platter of sweet breads served also. After the reception, we headed over to the restaurant next door, 82 Queen. We had a lovely dinner with true lowcountry cooking. It was very conveniently located to the Inn. They also offer in room dining from this restaurant. We did not use this service. There are also 2 other restaurants next door to the Inn, Husk and Poogan's porch. After dinner, my husband and I took a stroll down King Street, window shopping and enjoying the ambience. The hotel is conveniently located in the city. You can walk to everything. We really enjoyed the weather this time of the year.

We have been to the area many times but had never stayed in downtown Charleston before. The next day we enjoyed many sights. There were free bicycles to ride if wanted. We didn't have time to fit this in, but looked like it would be fun. The hotel also offered free wireless internet, a large hottub which was being used every night we were there. I saved my favorite thing for last though. I loved, loved, loved the "breakfast in bed" feature. Every evening, we would fill out a card to select our choices for breakfast and the time we wished to be served. The following morning, we would receive a call to tell us our breakfast was on it's way. The service was incredible as I enjoy this much more than going to a hotel lobby for a meal. It was served on a silver tray with silver coffee service. It consisted of bagels, pastries, muffins, yogurt, juice and coffee or tea. It was just the right amount of food for us.

The Elliott House Inn is a hidden gem that is a perfect getaway to a charming city. We highly recommend it. The direct website offers specials at different times of the year. We used this to find our rate for the stay. We will definitely stay to this place again.

“Great place to stay in the historic area of Charleston”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012

We recently enjoyed 4 days and 3 nights at the Elliott House Inn in Charleston. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and it was our first visit to Charleston. The location is perfect for walking around the city. We enjoyed being served breakfast in our room each morning. We received good advice from the staff on sight seeing. The room was small but comfortable. We would definitely stay there again if we were in Charleston again.

Room Tip: We could hear road traffic early in the morning from our room on the third floor with windows to the...

“A Beautiful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

I recently had the pleasure of staying overnight at the beautiful Elliott House Inn in Charleston, SC. From the moment that I stepped through the gate, the famous “Southern Hospitality” was evident. Thanks to Grace, my check in was easy and the information she provided about parking, dining and accommodations was very helpful. My room was beautifully furnished and the classic rice bed was incredibly comfortable. I felt so pampered, especially with breakfast delivered on a silver platter!

Since the Inn is centrally located, I had my pick of some of Charleston’s best restaurants and was able to easily explore the shops and galleries and enjoy a walking tour of the beautiful South of Broad historic district. I returned to the Inn just in time to enjoy a beautiful wine and cheese reception in the courtyard. It was twilight and the courtyard glowed with its pink walls and white lights…delightful!

This is definitely the experience that I was hoping for while in one of America’s most charming cities!

“Friendly, Comfortable, and Convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for the first time, after finding the Inn on line. The Elliott House Inn is very close to everything we wanted to see and do in the historic district. Neil was particularly helpful with local history "off the beaten path". The courtyard is peaceful, rooms spacious and updated while holding onto 19th century feel, and breakfast daily on a silver platter is a nice touch. Met a number of other guests in the courtyard during the wine and cheese hour. FYI: Parking in Charleston is generally difficult and street noises (garbage trucks, delivery trucks, etc.) are to be expected.
