Elliott House Inn

Location was great but the property really needs renovation. Our room was very musty and smelled of mold. Needs painting. There was plaster exposed in the bathroom. Lighting was poor and air conditioner was loud. Bedding was clean and comfortable. I would not recommend. Spend the extra $ and stay at the Mills House next door. We stayed there on our last trip to Charleston and it was fabulous.

I couldn't ask for anything more. We were allowed to check in early and there was complimentary coffee at 7am the next morning. There is a very nice relaxing court yard if you get back from your days activities and don't want to be in your room, although the room was very nice and had a classic feel to it. I would stay here again!

Overall, very convenient to galleries, shopping, and fine dining options. The only snag was that we reserved and paid for a room with queen bed and got a full bed instead.

Great location, next to King St and lots of restaurants etc. everything is walkable. Love their patio coffee and nightly happy hour (wine and snacks). Friendly service, clean room. No maid service but that’s fine. A little loud on Saturday night but didn’t bother me. Would definitely stay here again.

You should take them out of your portfolio. They only want direct bookings. I was in the room right on the street. It was noisy and I did not feel safe. Half the time I had to get someone to open my door as it was difficult. I called and left a message as to my arrival time. Fortunately I arrived half an hour before the office closed. I was told that a text had been sent about the code for the locked gate, etc., after 10:30pm. I would not have checked for a text and asked why I was not called. I was told that I could leave if I was not happy. Reasons for bad room and no phone call were that I should have booked direct.

Nice older hotel with nice character. Very close to great restaurants.

The location is perfect. You can walk to many great shops, restaurants and bars. There is a parking garage across the street ($20/day), a major perk. Courtyard is nice to get away from the street to a quiet spot. Coffee in the morning is convenient and not terrible. We stayed on first floor in back of the courtyard. It was quiet. Would guess rooms on street side are noisier, especially in the morning. Room was basic, no charm, dark and a little run down. Stocked with bare minimum. One tiny bar of soap, 2 bath and two hand towels, teeny shampoo/conditioner bottles. No soap dish, so we put it on a little piece of cardboard. No room on vanity for toiletries. Rooms do not get made up, so if you need a fresh towel, or anything else, you have to ask. If your garbage pail is overflowing, apparently they expect you to empty it somewhere. If you ask at the desk for your room to be serviced, they act like you’ve lost your mind, and haughtily announce that “we are an INN”, and certainly don’t do that. I’ve stayed at many inns, and all freshen up the room each day. I do appreciate the fact that they are located in a popular city, but they could do much better.

Great location, There is a parking deck immediately across from the hotel so very simple to park. They offer a wine/ cheese hour which was nice to sit outside and relax to.

The Elliott House Inn was only acceptable and definitely not what I had hoped. It is old and historic and I understand that but the rooms were barely acceptable. They were cool which is a check in the plus column but there was dust everywhere (ceiling fans, picture frames, etc.) mold on shower grout. I would never stay again and I certainly think they can do better because they have some new, updated items in the rooms but it is like they go through the rooms and just patch something here or there so maybe they should update a whole room. Another plus is that it is fairly quiet and definitely after 11 pm which is an ordiance in the city. I could rate lower but I am trying to be fair due to the historical value. People seem to like the 5-6 wine and cheese hour as well.

Boutique hotel nestled in the historic district of Charleston. Charming courtyard and helpful staff.
