My husband and I, along with my parents, stayed for two nights at The Bed & Breakfast Inn. We were on a little trip down the coastline, and had previously been in Charleston and Hilton Head.
We found this inn in our guidebook while preparing and reading up on the area. It was listed in the "inexpensive" section of the guidebood. I'm not sure what the criteria is for each category, but we paid $149 per night.
My husband and I stayed in the Egyptian room, and my parents were in the Magnolia room. Both rooms are in the main house, up two flights of stairs. The Egyptian room was very nice, quite spacious, and the bathroom was fine. The Magnolia was smaller, and had a weird/ugly 1970's dropped ceiling. It did not have near the ambience that the Egyptian did. Both rooms were very clean.
There were two hard-of-hearing elderly ladies staying below us in the Turkish room. When they did not have their hearing aids in, they talked rather loudly and we could clearly hear their conversations. I don't think noise would ordinarily be a problem, but unfortunately it was for us.
Breakfasts were terrific. Each evening you made your breakfast selection for the next morning, along with your desired eating time. It worked very well. The first morning the chef's special (which was supposed to be fancy scrambled eggs - with cheddar, tomato, etc - had to be cancelled because they did not have tomatoes. Instead, they cooked our eggs to order, along with toast, sausage, and scones. There was cereal, fruit, and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The second morning the special was belgian waffles with pecan or maple syrup, bacon, and fruit. The alternate option was scrambled eggs. Both mornings the breakfasts were great. My husband - who is kind of a waffle nut - said the waffles were some of the best he's ever had.
The parking was not an issue for us, although the inn goes to great lenghts to remind you to be aware of the street sweeping schedule. We were issued a parking pass which paid for our parking throughout the historic district for the time we were there.
All in all we were very pleased with the Inn. The location is well within walking distance of all the sights in the historic district. We ate lunch at Mrs Wilkes Boarding house. What an incredible lunch! They are only open M-F from 11am to 2pm. You simply line up on the sidewalk, as they seat each table of 8. We had 24 different dishes to eat. Yes, 24! It was wonderful for $15 per person, cash or check only.
The one thing that I wish would have been better was information from the staff. The staff was very friendly, but whenever we asked for suggestions, directions, or reccomendations, they didn't really have much to say. I
