Beautiful courtyard, flower boxes. Small pool. Property in an excellent location but sandwiched between two restaurants. It gives off a nice New Orleanesque vibe. The downside is that the view out of our window was of the kitchen door of a restaurant next door. A dehumidifier running in the room and two layers of window ensured that noise was not... More

Unfortunately, with our property being in the heart of downtown and being sandwiched between restaurants, it can make for louder than normal conditions. I’d love to have you back again.

Just got back from stay at Elliott House. I thought it was wonderful. Room was comfortable and breakfast in the courtyard quite romantic. Staff couldn't be nicer.

This is probably the most "mixed" my feelings have been about a hotel after a recent stay. There are a lot of great things going for this property, but some negatives as well.

Perfectly located in the historic district between the market & shopping streets and the beautiful mansions along the battery. Walkable to all the key sites and restaurants. The room was exceptionally clean and nicely decorated inCharleston style. The bed was very comfortable. Three disappointments: (1) no light blocking shades, and the blinds let in a lot of light from the... More

The review from earlier is correct about the shower water pressure. It has two heads but my husband and I could barely get them to spray more than a light shower...I like heavy water pressure in my hotel rooms so this was big for me.

I appreciate your comments on your stay Elliott House. The water faucet in the rooms with two shower heads can be a bit sensitive to run, especially if you want water to come out of both at the same time, I apologize about this. Yes, while we’ve renovated the property, the “bones” of the building are still historic dating back... More

Great location for exploring Charleston on foot. The parking garage across the street will get very expensive if you take your car in and out of the garage to explore the surrounding areas.

If your looking for something between a B&B and a regular hotel the Elliot House is perfect. The location on Queen street sets you up to explore Charleston on foot or to grab the trolley.

Regarding the type of property we are - you are 100% correct, Elliott House Inn is a hybrid between B&B and a regular hotel. Being sandwiched between some of the best restaurants in Charleston is one great feature of the property, especially since most of the restaurants on Queen Street don't stay open extremely late. 82 Queen restaurant provides room...
