Concierge "This elegant inn, a stunning example of Gilded Age architecture, is largely unchanged since the days when it belonged to Francis Silas Rodgers."
Fodor's "Guests at the most grand inn in town admire the Second Empire antiques and reproductions, the rich fabrics, inset wood paneling, and original stained-glass windows." Full review
Star Service "Five blocks west of King Street, this is Charleston's best option for those seeking a small, select, full-service hotel with authentic patina in the historic center." Full review
Gayot "This Second Empire-style home was built between 1885 and 1887... Accommodations range from Mansion Rooms to the Grand Mansion Suite. The latter looks as if it belongs in a European villa."
Zagat4.0
"Housed in a circa-1886 mansion, this “breathtakingly beautiful” “gem of a hotel” tucked away on residential Wentworth Street features “luxurious” rooms furnished with antiques."
Afar Magazine "This Gilded Age residence, built for a cotton merchant and his bride in the 1880s, was renovated and opened as a hotel in 1998 after stints as a masonic meeting place and an insurance office." Full review
Jetsetter "Circa 1886 boutique sleep with a spa and ideal location a short walk to downtown Charleston." Full review

Rough Guide "Appealing, very friendly hostel in a double-porched 1850 house on the northern edge of downtown."
Frommer's "This is an excellent bargain considering the Historic District is within walking distance (in fact, it’s the only hostel in the city)." Full review

"An affordable option in historic downtown Charleston that's popular with young budget travelers and backpackers... clean and simple rooms." Full review
Fodor's "A small enclave of 1840s-era buildings make up this homey, idyllic hostel." Full review
Lonely Planet "Housed mainly in a wonderful 1840 dwelling complete with atmospheric blue porches and an odd, twin-matching architecture setup, Charleston's one hostel is creaky and inviting." Full review
