    Great service

    Quaint beautiful hotel with great staff. Free light breakfast. Wine and cheese in the evenings. Walkable. Would stay there again. Only drawback is you can’t get your valet’d car anytime you want it.

    Our stay was okay. However, parking was a nightmare. Parking for guest is 3 to 4 blocks away and is managed by third party. The parking pass that you get is postcard size and doesn't hand on your mirror. So, if it slides off your dashboard, you are screwed. Parking management are total trolls and will ticket you and boot your car even if your parking pass is valid. I would recommend valet parking so it falls the hotels shoulders for any issues with your auto.

    The staff was gracious about storing our luggage before our room was ready and also after CK out time as we had a few hours to wait for our flight. It will do the trick but don't expect the Four Season { which is going in next door in the near future}.

    The ground floor room was terrible. I would not recommend. Carpet was filthy, shower had black mold around the trim and did not drain properly. The room was stuffy and humid even with a/c on 24/7. Air conditioner needs to be updated immediately. It made for an unpleasant stay in the room. The staff was very nice and gracious. The breakfast and happy hour made up for the disappointing room.

    Wonderful staff. Super clean very convenient. We’ll be back.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The staff was super kind and helpful and the room itself was spacious, comfy and clean. The pool was small and a bit dingy and it would've been so much better if there was a fitness center. The continental breakfast was standard, coffee was good and ice machine was clean. I also loved that they had a bottle filling station. One thing is they should allow a cigarette on the balcony or a designated area of the patio. My husband had to walk behind the building to have a smoke

    Great walking distance to market and other sites in downtown! There was construction going on beside the hotel that could be noisy and takes away from the view.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great stay and a perfect location.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Last time I stayed was 40 years ago, and I felt at home the moment I walked in the lobby to check in..lots of memories, I stayed there at least once a week for at least 5 years until I moved north and almost everything is the same with the exception of some upgrades…..I wish the rest of downtown Charleston retained its charm like The Meeting Street Inn.

    The commode in the room was not flushing when we arrived. I called and let the desk know. They dropped a plunger off at the door for me to take care of the problem! It was an ongoing problem all weekend. I continued to let the front desk know and they just said they would note it. Also the AC wasn’t working properly. It was set on 62 but the room temp remained at 76 or above.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The property was in a good location but it is in need of a refresh in a serious way. The Ac was ineffective and the bed was old and not comfortable. The continental breakfast every day was nice but ran out very quickly. Bottom line it was not a great value for the rate.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The location is 100%! We could walk to great restaurants, shops etc. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Each night there was a happy hour with some lite appetizers later in the evening cookies and milk were out. Continental breakfast each morning. The hotel could use a remodel and keep its historical charm.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Lovely breakfast and a very cute and quaint spot to stay!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    The building is quaint while the setting is very convenient to the market and downtown. I was disappointed with the view. In the photos it shows these lovely balconies, but they face an empty lot where apparently condos are going to be built.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Thanks for having decaf coffee. The inn is a perfect location for touring Charleston and for eating in historical area. Loved our stay.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Excellent location, charming hotel—my new favorite in Charleston. We appreciated the patio for afternoon wine and cheese as well as breakfast. Beds were super comfortable.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Room and bathroom were clean.. the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable..

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Easy access to city tours & landmarks. The hotel need remodeling.
