Claussen's is definitely not your hotel in a box. I called before we arrived to ask about bakery's near their location and when we got there, the concierge had a list of local bakeries. They also suggested restaurants that were open at 9:30 at night (which we were concerned about) that were within walking distance. We chose the one directly... More

The staff was very friendly and helpful from the first time in. Our room was lovely and very clean, and we enjoyed the afternoon snack. We had a downstairs patio room, and it was nice to sit outside and visit with a local friend. Beds were very comfortable and breakfast delivered to our room was delicious. Looking forward to another... More

From the moment we entered the historic Inn, we were impressed. Located in an old bakery, we were hoping for the smell of fresh bread...we were greeted with a very fresh/clean welcome. The lobby area is very inviting; we loved the little bar (complimentary refreshments at 5pm). Our room was spacious and spotless. The little patio was a welcome surprise.... More

It tries to present itself as a boutique hotel or B&B and it's not. If you think of it as a less-expensive hotel, it's a good one, but as a boutique hotel it's mediocre. Our room 202 was in front of the building and the street noise at night was loud; there were also trains going by a couple times... More

Booked this hotel for business for one night as many others were full (maybe for a concert in town); website makes it seem much more luxurious, quiet and off the main road.... it is located right on a main road and I almost missed it driving by -from the outside it seems smaller than one might expect. Nice concierge ,... More

I have stayed there in the past. The good location near 5-points helped me overlook the dingy dark hallways and the strange rather unpleasant smell that the cheap carpeting seems to have. The last stay however pushed me to stay elsewhere in the future. The bathroom as terrible. My towels were actually piled on the floor. Neatly, and clearly intended... More

The Inn was a nice boutique alternative to the major brand hotels. Good location to venture into Georgia or to the coast – visit to Charleston was under 2 hours. Staff was very helpful and the cheese board served before dinner time was a nice touch. I stayed in room 114 which is toward the back of the hotel and... More

I visited the Inn a Claussen's on a work trip and had modest expectations for the hotel. The location is great but everything in the room I stayed in seemed worn out and of very inconsistent quality. The hallways are dark and dingy, the carpet very industrial and cheap looking. It seems as thought the owners did a lot of... More

What a disappointment this Inn was after reading other reviews. First impression was off-putting because no one here seems to know that fluorescent lights come in a soft version not just the harsh light of a basement and that was the only lighting used in the room including in the seedy bathroom - try putting on make-up in that light....

Our family stayed here for two nights while in town to visit and tour USC. From the time that we checked in, we were very impressed. The hotel is actually an old bakery that has been revamped into a hotel. Each room is different. Complimentary wine was served each evening as well as a continental breakfast to your room in... More
