We redeemed a Groupon certificate and stayed 2 nights in the Italian Room at the Palmer Home and it was fantastic! Overall: The historical integrity of the home was impressive and we felt the owner, who is a 3rd generation descendent, was so welcoming and we enjoying her goal to keep things as authentic as possible. Staff: The staff was... More

DO NOT even CONSIDER!! Terrible. My husband and I just stayed here and the place is old and run down. We stayed in the "suite" which is supposedly the nicest room and wow, if that was the nicest I hate to see other rooms. The whole house needs a re model. Keeping true to the era but modern updates. The... More

See above--too much to right just one sentence! Private parking is an added bonus, since almost all parking is on the street, and most is metered in 2-hour increments during the week. Be sure to visit the Calhoun House, right around the corner, with amazing objects d'art from every corner of the globe, the first elevator in a private home,... More

Really enjoyed the stay but had two things that kept the Palmer Home from a perfect score. We had a front room with a perfect view but had to go across the hallway to a private bathroom. It didn't bother me but my wife had a problem with it. Probably a trade off for the best room in the Inn.... More

This is a beautiful old mansion on the waterfront that is full of antique furniture and memorabilia. The rooms are very nice and the staff are gracious and very helpful. Breakfast and afternoon wine and cheese are served in the huge living room overlooking the harbor. We spent some quality time sipping wine on the second floor balcony watching dolphins... More

We bought a Groupon for a two night stay at the Palmer House in July and immediately made a reservation for March 20 and 21st. 2013. The Groupon purchase covered the room cost but not the room tax. The Palmer House charged the room tax to my visa as authorized. In early February I received a call from the Palmer... More

Five of us stayed in the Carriage house and brought my dog. Perfect accommodation for group, family or accompanying dog. The Carriage House had great charm. Occupants in upstairs bedrooms wake to a fabulous view of the sun rising over the bay and Fort Sumter. Rooms are comfortable, beautiful but not stuffy. Downstairs has a nice functional little kitchen, dining... More

Staying in a bed and breakfast, you have to be prepared for things to be different, sometimes very different, from staying in a chain hotel. Different can mean good and it can mean not so good. Here are some of the good aspects of the Palmer Home. The breakfast room looks straight out on to Charleston Harbor and right dead... More

My husband and I have visited Charleston often and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was in walking distance of downtown Charleston which we enjoyed greatly. Francis Palmer was a gracious hostess who made sure that our stay was enjoyable. Yes, the house is old but it is 160 years old. The bed was comfortable and warm. We look... More
