Star Service "At Hasell Street, this U-shaped, three-story contemporary study is a good choice for frugal travelers who want to keep Charleston's sultry southern charm at an arm's distance." Full review
Frommer's "One block from the Historic District's market area, this three-story hotel has rooms that are better than you might expect from a motel and are likely to be discounted in the off season." Full review
Fodor's "Though the King Charles Inn was erected in 1958, the property sits on land that’s held hotels since the early 1800s." Full review

The retro, sunny mural helps but you might want to request an outward facing room.
Michelin Guide "Rooms are stylish, decorated mostly in white and light wood, and carefully balance visual minimalism with the warmth contributed by organic materials...urbanely sophisticated and so beachy" Full review

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
