My wife and I spent 3 nights at The Elliot House Inn and enjoyed our stay. We had a ground floor room. It was very clean and we loved the wood shutters on the windows to keep your room dark for sleeping. Every morning you are served a continental breakfast on a big silver tray in the courtyard or in... more

Don't let the website pictures fool you; this is definitely a 3-star place. That being said, it is completely fine for a 3-star hotel --clean, safe, etc. But I felt a bit deceived by the photography --I was expecting more. We stayed in a standard room, and while I will say that the bed was pretty nice, everything else was... more

I appreciate you taking the time to provide potential future guests of your stay at Elliott House Inn. We pride ourselves on our wonderfully decorated and clean rooms. Our property was built in the 1800's, that being said, most folks enjoy the "Dated/Period" style furnishings. We are continuously updating and renovating rooms on an as needed basis. All of our...

Except the location, I wonder what else makes this place attractive. I am not surprised to read so many answers from the Management after all guests' reviews. Front desk: the staff has no experience; they provide poor and wrong information. Not friendly at all; it's like if you bother them all the time. Breakfast: quite poor for a B &... more

I was quite surprised to read the experience of this guest. Regarding our Front Desk Staff: Everyone that works on the desk has been trained in concierge services and in most cases, guests are quite pleased with the quality of service and city recomendations. In fact, we're proud to have a certified city tour guide as apart of our front...

Our room was very noisy. We were awaken at dawn by the loud rumblings of trucks loading and unloading just outside our window. Our whole room vibrated each time a truck drove by. I would not recommend unless you like waking up on vacation at dawn. When we mentioned this to the lady at the front desk her response was... more

I'm very sorry to hear of dissatisfaction this guest encountered at our property. Upon further investigation, it was found that the guest originally booked this reservation and requested a room with a "street view". Because most of the rooms face the inside of our courtyard, the only street view rooms were the 3 rooms that we have that overlook Queen...

I just completed a two-night stay at the Elliot House in Historic Charleston and am sadly underwhelmed. Let's begin by noting that the location is good, near restaurants and tourist attractions. Unfortunately they took the "historic" theme too literally with regard to the room furnishings - my mattress and box spring were from a time long ago. Springs were showing... more

I'm sorry to hear of your recent stay with Elliott House Inn. On those occasions when we have not met the expectations of our guests, we will make every effort to correct any situation. I'm sorry to hear of your discomfort for the beds in our property. I'm excited to report we've just purchased brand new mattresses for each and...

After reading the negative reviews for this small hotel, I was very pleasantly surprised. I had a discounted rate, even though the room was small it was very nice. The people were helpful and friendly. The breakfast brought to my room was much better than described and I loved the coffee. The courtyard was really pretty and well maintained. The... more

My father booked our family several rooms for the Food and Wine Festival. We were very happy with the location. However, when we arrived, my husband and I went to see our room, and the room was tiny and was obviously slanted. It was certainly not a $250/night room. My father's room, on the other hand, was an incredible suite... more

Overall, if you are looking for a middle-of-the-road Inn that is cozy and close to everything (and you don't plan on spending much time in your room or are willing to pay for an upgrade), Elliott House is a good choice. Pros: - Unbeatable location in the heart of downtown Charleston. We never had to step into a cab, as... more

Our stay at the Elliott house for our anniversary was very nice. We stayed 2 nights during the week. They knew it was our anniversary when I booked the room and was surprised to see a complimentary chilled bottle of champagne from management. Very nice special touch. The area of the Inn was great....walking distance to everything you'd want to... more
