Its about the details and effort

Breakfast was good. Charming house.

− The main entrance was dirty and uncleaned. The safebox could not be used. With just a small little effort, like fixing the curtains, replacing the safebox, and a better cleaning overall, but mainly cleaning the main entrance, our stay would have been good.

We enjoyed the breakfast and the staff. Very nice!!! Location is excellent!

− Not the fault of the inn but we weren't able to enjoy walking to near by areas due to extremely high temperatures. We have visited Charleston at other times of the year and so enjoyed being able to walk to many areas. That wasn't possible on the visit. The room was nice and cool so that was a plus. If you are visiting and want to be able to enjoy being outside, we would recommend visiting when weather is more pleasant. As always, we enjoyed our wonderful meals while in Charleston. Exploring had to be from driving around not walking around. Walking tours are so wonderful and just not able to do that on this trip. We will return through and recommend the inn

Great breakfast, excellent coffee and beverages available all the time. Felt very safe due to the security. Also very welcoming

− People letting the door slam right by our room, but that wasn't the establishments fault - just inconsiderate people

Schönes B&B mit Geschichte und Charme

8.0

Lage sehr zentral und mit eigenem Parkplatz. Kommunikation vor Anreise super, Kleine Leckereien und Snacks, sowie Wasser, stehen kostenlos bereit. Kaffeemaschinen zur eigenen Nutzung auf den Etagen. Zum 4. Juli wurde sogar für die Gäste Accessoires für die Feier verteilt. Kleinere Anfragen wurden professionell erledigt. Frühstück und Service hervorragend. Das gesamte Team war wunderbar, so dass wir uns sehr willkommen gefühlt haben.

− Kleinigkeiten müssten ausgetauscht werden - Stange vom Duschvorhang, Griffe am Schrank. Aber das ist „Jammern auf hohem Niveau“
