Elliott House Inn

Location was great close to every where and afternoon wine time was great. However, the musky smell in the room was unbearable and water pressure bathroom was too weak. It took long time to take shower because of weak water. My husband and I decided to stay modern hotel next time.

Friendly staff and very clean room. Much appreciated offering of coffee/tea in the morning next to the outdoor fire and the complimentary cheese and wine in the afternoon.

Elliott House Inn is within a few minutes walk to dining, historical district and shopping. The staff is very friendly and accommodating to your needs. They have cruiser bikes you can use which is very nice too!

I loved the location!

The Elliott Inn is perfectly located within walking distance of most places to visit. There are two great restaurants that are on each side of the hotel (a bit expensive!) for convenience. The room was nothing to rave about except that the bed was very comfortable. No coffee makers in the room which aggravated the hubby but coffee is served in the courtyard each morning as well as wine and cheese in the evening. The property does need some updating and cleaning on the outside but the rooms were very clean. Because it is an old historical building, the ceilings and walls are not very noise proof. We experienced loud stomping around several times at night above us. The bathrooms looked as if they had been renovated recently and the shower was nice and spacious although the water pressure was mediocre. The parking is very limited in this area but fortunately there was a parking garage right across the street from the hotel for $20 per day. I would say for the price we paid, it was not worth it. However, Charleston is not cheap to visit. We did have a great time while there!

Ashley was so helpful. She made our stay wonderful. She helped us resolve an issue not related to the property. If not for her help we would've had a big problem.

We chose this hotel for its location, which was great. The patio and outdoor fireplace was nice (although only 2 seats are really available at the fireplace so if you're not the first one down there, you're out of luck). They had tea/ coffee station in the AM. However, we would not return to this hotel. Except for the last day when there was a different person there, the front desk person was incredibly rude--not just to us but to other customers (roling his eyes when an older lady asked for help getting her small suitcase up the stairs). We tried to book directly but it was less expensive going through Jet Bllue vacations but the hotel clearly didn't like that. I had checked ahead of time to see if a late check in was an issue and they assured me it wasn't, but then they never sent us the code. They said we needed to get it from Expedia (which we did not book through) but how would Expedia know the code to their lockbox with their physical keys and why would this be their responsibility to get it to us when we were staying there? The whole thing was very stressful and rude. They finally gave us the code, but with a rude note that we should have gotten it from Expedia. I did address this with the manager but the explanation really did not make sense and the issue never should have occurred. The room smelled musty all the time and there was mold in the shower. After we left I let the manager know (sent her the pics). She said that we should have let them know when we were there--but isn't it their responsibility to make sure the room is mold-free for when guests arrive? We were not there during a hot summer month--it was quite cool when we were there, in fact. Note that the beds are doubles, not queens (not a criticism but just something to be aware of). There just wasn't a good vibe there and the smell and mold really bothered me. Upon reading reviews now (which I didn't do carefully enough before we left), I would have known these things. The hotel was still very expensive and on par with other hotels in the city so it's not like it was a great deal and then maybe these things get overlooked. For the money we paid, I expected more. The manager did respond, which was appreciated, and I do hope they will make changes based on the feedback.

The location couldn't be better, right of the middle of things. Quaint inn with a nice courtyard in the middle. There is coffee set up there in the morning, and wine and cheese at 5--both included in the rates. The rooms are on the small side, but certainly adequate. Husk Restaurant is next door, while open there will be some noise--but with the fan on, we didn't notice it. The biggest problem in my opinion is the shower, its big and offers two shower heads, but operation of it is tricky and the water temp fluctuated--probably needs some maintenance.

This is a place we just loved. It's quaint and in a great location to walk around. And, they have a wine and cheese party every night in the courtyard. What could be better!?!?!

I love the charm of this inn. Having a patio off my room was lovely for morning coffee. The wine reception each evening with the fire was wonderful. I met some very nice people, and the staff were very helpful. The room was very comfortable and I love the shuttered windows. I was working remotely and enjoying the city. I will definitely stay here again. It is located between two amazing restaurants, and near many others, as well as near much of the attractions in history.
