Planters Inn

This place is way past its prime. For all of the new hotels going up in Charleston. It makes the planters in look like an archaic barn. Lots of work needs done. In fact, a whole gut needs work. The lighting is dim. The paint is chipped. The carpets worn. The fixtures are old. The rooms are 20 years old. This place needs a total gut job. Especially being next to one of the best restaurants in Charleston and with a Four Seasons going up right across the street. I only stayed here because it was the cheapest location on Expedia with three hours notice. And reason I would never spend money to bring my wife here on a nice weekend. The place is a dingy bucket.

Conveniently located within walking distance to many attractions in Charleston. The staff is friendly we were greeted at the door and helped take our luggage to our room while we checked in. Easy check in. The hotel has a historic atmosphere. We enjoyed tea and coffee in the parlor. The Peninsula grill is a must. Our room overlooked the courtyard and was very comfortable and roomy.

Great central location, exceptional staff, wonderful food and just an overall terrific 5 days in Charleston...felt like home and within walking distance of just about everything. We'll be back!

Superb location, right at the heart of historic Charleston. Lots to explore on foot. No need for a car. Trips (Boone Plantation) booked down the street at the tourist office, pick up and drop off at the hotel. Bar and food are excellent but are spoilt for choice with so many restaurants a short walk away. Staff are friendly and very helpful. We will be coming back.

It was interesting that everyday during our stay had a different price (Monday - Thursday), with parking the stay was $725/day and we did not feel we received that much value for the spend.
