86 Cannon Historic Inn

"I sought the best bed and breakfast for my wife’s third “babymoon” and selected the Loft King Suite for 2 nights. And after coming here, I don’t want to tell anyone about this place and keep it to myself. My wife and I were so impressed with 86 Cannon. It’s one thing for a hotel to have a nice space, good food, comfortable sheets, etc—those are physical qualities that can be maintained consistently. (The cheese boards and elevated continental breakfast with local pastries—so tasty!) But it’s another thing entirely to have staff like 86 Cannon does. In our stay we interacted solely with Carly and she was absolutely fantastic. She became a good friend to us in our short time there. Her enthusiasm for the history of the house, her love of Charleston, and her interest in us and our activities was the best part of our stay. As I think another review says this place will ruin other hotel experiences for you!"

"Simply wonder. Even the reviews don’t do this adorable inn justice. Just book your trip already. Stunning piazzas, the best breakfast and the fluffiest bed. Megan and Karli went out of their way to make us at home. Karli saved the day on our beach outing. We can’t wait to visit again. So peaceful and the perfect getaway."

"WARNING: Staying at this location will ruin all of your other hotel experiences :D. Hoteling has changed quite a bit, and service is not at all what it used to be, but 86 Cannon sets the standard, and they have policies that support a great experience that many hotels don't have. The property is outstanding. I spent quite a bit of time soaking in the sun on one of two glorious piazzas. They also have a library on the third floor and great technology where you get text updates. Parking is available on the property. The hotel feels like home and I had to resist the urge to walk about the property in my pajamas and bed slippers. It's quiet, clean, and restorative. The staff was incredible, and I have to give a special shoutout to Megan and Karly for being so kind and attentive to all things all the time. I'm vegan and I had an injury that needed ice and they kindly helped me get situated. The location is nestled in a quieter part of downtown yet within walking distance of shops and restaurants. If you want to experience hotelier excellence, stay here. It's a great reminder of how travel should be."

"What a wonderful bed and breakfast in Downtown Charleston, SC!!! The house was lovely, the room was comfortable, walking distance to restaurants, wine and cheese every evening. Very attentive staff. We would love to go back and were not ready to leave!!!"

"Incredible. Blown away by this hidden gem! Took my wife for 3 nights for our anniversary. If you go to Charleston, you have to stay here. It is worth every penny. Breakfast every morning, cheese board made by hand and wine served every night from 5pm to 6pm. Private parking spot (and affordable compared to others). Away from all of the noise, but easy walking distance to anywhere you want to be. They have bikes available to ride all day. Clean room. Cleaned every day. New towels. New sheets. Everything replenished. This is not really a hotel in my opinion. It's basically like living in a Castle and you are the King! The staff does everything for you and is so accommodating (shout out to Karli!). They text you with updates on checking in, checking out, bike waivers, and can even turn up the air conditioner for you remotely! Sure, you could stay at Emeline or Planter's Inn that is right in the thick of it, but this place is quiet, clean, and totally amazing. They have a library with books, board games, a record player, and a little self-serve bar for more wine if you need it! I could type on this thread all day. Would recommend this to anyone! We stayed in the Piazza King and it was just perfect. Thanks 86 Cannon. We will be back..."
