Very Convenient to Everything!

The Elliott Inn is perfectly located within walking distance of most places to visit. There are two great restaurants that are on each side of the hotel (a bit expensive!) for convenience. The room was nothing to rave about except that the bed was very comfortable. No coffee makers in the room which aggravated the hubby but coffee is served in the courtyard each morning as well as wine and cheese in the evening. The property does need some updating and cleaning on the outside but the rooms were very clean. Because it is an old historical building, the ceilings and walls are not very noise proof. We experienced loud stomping around several times at night above us. The bathrooms looked as if they had been renovated recently and the shower was nice and spacious although the water pressure was mediocre. The parking is very limited in this area but fortunately there was a parking garage right across the street from the hotel for $20 per day. I would say for the price we paid, it was not worth it. However, Charleston is not cheap to visit. We did have a great time while there!

Location is excellent, but the management staff are the rudest people I have ever encountered anywhere in the world. I stayed for 5 nights and my room was not serviced a single time. No staff on the premises between 10p.m. and 7a.m.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

We drove 7 hours only to have a snitty evening receptionist bring us down. I found us stuck there by then, with the hotels mostly all filled up in town during the Christmas holiday. Plus i'd already spring for 3 nights there, i paying $276 a night before taxes. The officious, snitty evening receptionist remained rude throughout, even lecturing me about how pushing back a check-out time worked. Oh, and the cramped room was funky from humidity with the smell of mold coming from the mini-fridge cabinet besides.

This review is coming from a married couple that has stayed in several boutique hotels around downtown Charleston in the last 2 years. The Elliott was by far the worst. If this was a $100 room it wouldn't be so bad. But it was over $300 for a queen room for one night on our 32-year wedding anniversary, New Year's Eve. I called on the phone prior to check in. It was hard to understand the clerk over the phone. High pitched quick answers that didn't really seem to make sense. I asked to upgrade from a queen to a King and the reply was inaudible. I think they said "full up", but couldn't tell after I asked again. Parking garage across the street was $20 overnight. No restaurant or lounge attached to this hotel. Courtyard was filthy dirty. Exterior of the building was dirty. Window from our room looking out into a filthy alleyway. Toilet was dirty. The staff wasn't rude, but just not friendly at all.
