Liked: The breakfast had good selections and was good. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Disliked: We would have preferred to stay in the house rather than the carriage house.Some maintenance is lacking.

Liked: We loved staying here. The location was phenomenal, right in the middle of old downtown Charleston. We could walk everywhere. The parking was wonderful and our vehicle was safely parked in the large lot behind the house the whole time we visited Charleston. There was a charge for parking but if you compare that charge to other parking garages, it was well worth the small charge. We stayed in room 14 in the Carriage house behind the main house. This room is located on the first floor and was large and roomy. The bed was comfortable and there was a small frig in the room plus a safe for valuables. There was coffee and tea available just outside the room, in the hallway - very convenient. The shower was fine and the water was hot, although it took just a few minutes for the water to heat up. The room was furnished with a queen bed, a wardrobe with drawers and a hanging space, several chairs and small tables, a TV. Toiletries were available plus a hairdryer. The room has it's own mini split unit so the temperature of the space could be controlled by us. The free breakfast was wonderful also and beautifully served in the main house in several rooms in the main house including a sunroom. There is a beautiful patio garden out back and the house offers a free teatime which included little sandwiches, cookies, small cakes, granola bars, drinks and a free glass of wine for each visitor. An amazing amenity. This place was made for people who love old houses with their charming details. It was built in the late 1700s and has high ceilings. The bathrooms were obviously added later and ours was smaller but very serviceable and had a tub.
Disliked: Just a few suggestions: add a floor lamp in the room near the TV. It was just a bit dark back there. Re-do the towel racks and this time, hit the studs so that the racks are firmly secured. Perhaps add another small shelf or table in the bathroom so that items could be placed on it. But these were very minor things and we will be returning to the Barksdale House !

I would recommend the Barksdale...

Liked: Wonderful staff, friendly, absolutely delicious breakfast. Our room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, but the tv had poor picture quality and there was very little water pressure in the bathroom. Outside of those 2 issues, our stay was fantastic. I would recommend the Barksdale to anyone that wants to stay in the historic district and feel like a resident of Charleston!!!

Very pleasant and accomidating. Great...

Liked: The breakfast was excellent. The staff was excellent as well. we loved the location. we were able to walk to almost everything we wanted to do.
Disliked: The water pressure in the shower was a bit low, but that's the only thing that we could find that might need some improvement.

Clean spacious room with wonderful...

Liked: Loved the location! Right downtown between Meeting and King streets. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Disliked: Our room was on George Street. There was quite a bit of noise throughout the nights. On Friday morning and Sunday morning a street sweeper woke us up before 6:00 am. Would have preferred a comfort height commode in room #5.
