Frommer's Review

Other than a heraldic shield out front, few ornaments mark this bulky structure, which was built in the 1840s as a cotton warehouse. The inn boasts the only decorative theme of its type in Charleston: a mock-Tudor interior with lots of dark paneling; references to Olde England; canopied beds with matching tapestries; pastoral or nautical engravings; leaded casement windows; and, in some places, half-timbering. Because bulky buildings are adjacent to the hotel on both sides, the architects designed all but a few rooms with views overlooking the lobby. (Light is indirectly filtered inside through the lobby's overhead skylights -- a plus during Charleston's hot summers.) Each room's shape is different from that of its neighbors, and the expensive ones have bona-fide windows overlooking the street outside. The inn serves a continental breakfast and an afternoon tea (complete with sherry, wine and cheese, and fruit and crackers).

Facilities:
Breakfast room; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms
