The Palmetto House
2.5 star property
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (5)
"This apartment is a good fit for Charleston: quaint but updated with modern necessities. In addition to cleaning and nicely decorating, the management tends to details such as umbrellas next to the door, snacks and coffee in the kitchen, and toiletries in the bathrooms. The wifi was snappy, and we were able to connect the smart tv to our subscribed apps. The kitchen was fully outfitted for cooking, although we used it only for breakfasts. The location was just right. We walked easily to...

"We arrived at the property in the early evening and after a long day of travel some of our party wanted nothing more than a good bath/shower. However much to our surprise there was no hot water! As it was after business hours the phone number we were given for contact just went to voicemail. The next morning we had the management company send over Maintenance and after a brief inspection he said that the internal breaker on the water heater had tripped and he had reset it and said it should be...

"House was as anticipated. Adequate room, clean and well set up. Two blocks to the ocean or the central road. The only surprise was a small very busy restaurant across the street from the home. Live Music on Tuesday night that went till well after 11 pm. Fortunately the house and location made up for a pretty loud neighbor."

"While in Mount Pleasant, SC for a wedding, we decided to spend 2 nights ahead of time in downtown Charleston. I don’t remember how exactly I settled upon the Indigo Inn but I’m thinking it was based on overall pricing, location and reviews. The Indigo Inn is a very quaint, bed & breakfast like hotel. There are 3 floors of rooms, starting on the ground, that surround an atrium with patio seating and plants/trees. We had a queen room on the 2nd floor near the elevator, not atrium viewing. ...
