I stayed at this hotel that had lovely hardwood floors in the room, but some areas like the old bathroom had peeling plaster. Although the bathroom was small, it was well presented and spotless. The convenient location near top-rated restaurants in Charleston made the stay worthwhile, despite a few shortcomings.

My stay at the Elliott House was a mixed experience. The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with nice beds and furniture, but I wished the price had been more budget-friendly and highlighted during booking. The service was welcoming and helpful, convincing us to extend our weekend stay, but the dining options were somewhat lacking. The location is fantastic for exploring historic Charleston, right off the bustling King Street, although it fell short of its full potential.
