Andrew Pinckney Inn

"Why did this hotel catch your attention? What's the vibe? You can’t miss the vivid yellow-ochre stucco façade of this under-the-radar inn, a striking assemblage of 19th century structures straddling Pinckney Street. The check-in lobby tucks into what was once a blacksmith’s shop and stable (thus the giant brick archway). This is a little workhorse of an inn, running smoothing for the past few decades, with the notable perk of having recently completed a two-year top-to-bottom restoration and refurbishment. You can find amazingly affordable rates, particularly on weekdays, while enjoying a brand new interior. What's the backstory? The redesign channels the traditional color palette of the British West Indies: chocolate, cream, and pale blues, interpreted through a modern lens, so instead of a chunky mahogany bed you get a tall crosshatched leather headboard the color of cappuccino. Levered plantation blinds are a nice touch, as are floor length mirrors framed in ornately carved wood. Guests have access to a private three-story atrium in the south property, onto which some of the rooms open, a hidden temple of calm. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book? You get what you pay for. The cheapest rooms are quite petite, with a shallow closet and snug bathroom. If you want to stretch out, there are plenty of other options, from doubles to kings to townhouse suites. My favorite room by far is the St. Philip Suite in the inn’s north property, whose arched window frames the St. Philip’s Church steeple to the south (it’s the only suite with an exposed brick wall, and has a luxurious freestanding soaking tub in addition to its walk-in shower). But no matter what size room, you’ll find baths surrounded by hand-laid wavy Travertine tile, granite vanity counters, softly illuminated mirrors, and faux-wood porcelain tile flooring (no splinters!). Is there a charge for Wi-Fi? Wi-fi is free and excellent, and all rooms are outfitted with flatscreen TVs, safes, Keurig coffee makers, and water stocked fridges tucked into cabinetry. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at? There’s no restaurant here, but four of the best restaurants in town are literally a block away in each direction: FIG, Peninsula Grill, Hank’s, and Cru Café. The inn offers a generous breakfast spread (included) and sources fresh-baked goods from two local bakeries. The lobby serves up lemonade, cucumber water, and fresh-baked cookies in afternoons. Plus complimentary wine and cheese at dusk. Best of all, you can enjoy any of these while lounging in the glassed-in, temperature-controlled solarium deck on the top floor of the south property while listening to sentimental croonings of Sinatra and Nat King Cole. From there, you can see the harbor. And the service? The front desk is very hands-on and can help you plan outings, make dinner reservations, or set up a private horse buggy tour. What about the neighborhood? Does the hotel fit in, make itself part of the scene? The inn is two blocks above the historic market, so smack in the middle of everything yet on a quieter street. Bottom line: Worth it? Why? A timeless façade, up-to-the-minute interior, and reasonable rates, at the heart of downtown." - Allston McCrady

From the moment we parked the car to the time of our departure, the staff was incredible! The location was absolutely perfect to explore Charleston on foot. The included breakfast was amazing every morning, as was the wine & cheese happy hour & fresh cookies - such a great value for the money!! Super comfortable beds too! I HIGHLY recommend this hotel!! And we will definitely stay there on our next visit to Charleston!

Me and my girlfriend took a spur of the moment trip to Charleston for the weekend. We booked last minute yet were able to find a King bed at Andrew Pinckney Inn for a very reasonable price. Our room was exactly what we needed, perfectly air conditioned, great location and proximity to the French quarter. They even offered a complimentary breakfast and wine and cheese hour. We would definitely stay here again

Lovely hotel in the heart of everything. Location is at the top of the list. Super walkable to everything you can imagine! It’s a quiet type of hotel, you’re not gonna get a hustle and bustle - bc no restaurant/bar. The rooms were nice. The wine and cheese was a nice touch & the free breakfast a bonus. Service was good enough… My one issue: the pillows. Super flat & floppy type of pillows. Not for me. Otherwise great place to stay in the heart of Charleston.

What a great location! The morning breakfast was sufficient, but nothing grand, but it was good enough to fuel up for the day if you didn't want to take the time to go someplace else. Saved a lot of time. And, the views were nice from the rooftop solarium. We really enjoyed the afternoon wine/snacks. The lady who managed that was delightful! The valet guys were on top of things, the housekeeping team were good, the other team members were all nice except for one gal in the office. The beds are really comfortable. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable.

This was our first visit to Charleston and the Andrew Pickney Inn was the perfect spot to stay! It was in walking distance to many sights and restaurants, and the valet parking made it easy to house the rental car. We also really enjoyed the included breakfast and afternoon cheese and crackers. The room was small but we were not in it very much. All the employees were pleasant and professional. I highly recommend it!

What a beautiful, charming, and welcoming place! From check in to breakfast service to the afternoon wine and cheese, everything was just lovely. All the staff were so friendly and helpful, and the room was perfect. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family!

This is the place to stay when visiting Charleston! It is right in the middle of it all! The rooms were immaculate and the service was perfection! These people performed like they were working at the Four Seasons or the Waldorf. The breakfast buffet (included) was wonderful with a spectacular view. It is within walking distance of every place we wanted to go. And by the way, you can't hear any room around you in either direction. We felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The next time we visit Charleston, we will be staying here.

This is an amazing Inn in the heart of the French Quarter. Roughly a block away from the famous Charleston Market and all three major carriage rides. About an 8-minute walk to the pineapple fountain and waterfront park. On-site parking and charming rooms. Wine and cheese in the afternoon, cookies for the kidos, and a wonderful breakfast in the rooftop solarium with its amazing views of some of the Quarter’s famous landmarks. Fine dining options all around and in walking distance to all the major attractions. We will definitely stay here again! Great job staff!

Southern hospitality at its best! This boutique hotel is perfect for those looking for a unique stay without the bland feel of major chains. Andrew Pickney pulls no stops when it comes to being hospitable. They may not have a spa, pool, or gym, but they have a full spread daily hot breakfast and a wine & cheese (plus) daily happy hour all complimentary to your stay. Coming from a place where being friendly or even cordial to strangers is dead, staff was friendly and accommodating. Ms. Barbara hosting the wine & cheese socials was exceptional. Despite being here on business, she made my stay feel like visiting family. The room was exactly what I needed with comfort and luxury. The bot text communications were not intrusive and appreciated. Centrally located to many must-see sites, I was able to walk to so many spots on my hit list and felt safe doing it alone. The Andrew Pickney Inn is one of a kind!

We didn't know what to expect during our stay here but we enjoyed everything about the Andrew Pinckney Inn. We were met with kindness by valet and check in. We stayed in the building across the street from check in. Shortly after check in, from 4-5:30, they offer a cheese and wine reception in the solarium. What a special treat! We easily walked to other restaurants and bars in the area - truly around the corner to greatness. The room felt like luxury and was very clean. Our bed and pillows were divine. The hotel was quiet and we never heard other guests or noise from the street. The included breakfast in the solarium was also incredible. We enjoyed the quiche in particular. I highly recommend!

From check in to check out everything let or exceeded our expectations. I love that they set up a text with their guests for anything at all. Fresh coffee and cookies at check in, excellent complimentary breakfast each morning, a beautiful wine and snacks for afternoon chill time. Who could ask for anything more? I will say that our room didn't have a window which was great for sleeping but we just wanted to sleep all day lol. I think I'd want a window room for my next stay so I don't get to comfy. We even had live music at wine and cheese! Such a beautiful touch. Thank you for the stay. We can't wait to come back.

Check in experience was quick and efficient. Hotel has charm and is very close to everything you want to walk to. The morning breakfast was epic!! Such a cute spot to start your day. Room is very comfortable and the text options for assistance is a nice touch. Definitely a wonderful spot for walking the downtown area. I did not have a car and this was the perfect location.

I will forever pick the Andrew Pinckney Inn to stay in whenever I am in Charleston. The location, staff, and amenities are above and beyond and I cannot rave about them more. So first off, their location is prime time. You are walking distance from everything, and the nice thing is they have a valet parking so you do not have to stress about finding a parking deck, street parking, etc when you arrive. The parking is also right next to the hotel, so getting your car to depart is also hassle free. When you check in, they have two buildings, that both have rooms. We got had a room across from where you check in, in the other building, which honestly was perfect because they do the breakfast and the wine hour in that building. The room itself was a good size, we had two queen beds, a nice bathroom and mirror outside the bathroom/shower which, for two girls sharing a room is fantastic. There is not much of a view, but that is really not a selling point for me regardless. The breakfast was fantastic and came from a local bakery. Everything was so good and fresh. Not to mention, they even had fresh quiches, and omelets on site, along with the normal fruit, yogurt, cereals. But once of the best parts was the wine "hour". I say hour because really it went for an hour and a half and started at 4:00pm. They had various wines, that they kept on pouring, and had little cheese and meat plates they handed out. It was so much fun, we absolutely loved the lady working the wine nights and had such a wonderful girls trip.

We stayed in a room on the 3rd floor, which was well appointed and very comfortable. The staff was courteous, kind and went to a lot of trouble to make us happy. The breakfast on the 4th floor was very tasty and there were plenty of options. The Inn is within walking distance of the market, restaurants, shops and carriage rides. We had a spooky weird experience in the room, which has been a source of discussion. Both my wife and I caught something moving out of the corner of our eyes next to the mirror. Something was moving, but we couldn't identify what. Spooky! We will come back. What a great place to stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Andrew Pinckney Hotel! The rooms were spacious, newly renovated and decorated with a classy upscale look. The wine & cheese happy hour was delightful in the solarium over looking Charleston, with Harritte serving, and generously pouring the wine. We mingled with quite a nice assortment of guests from all over the world! Complementary breakfast was FANTASTIC, with (the very much appreciated) Gluten Free homemade muffins and assorted pastries. Even French toast, potato casserole and an egg soufflé! The assistant manager Gabrielle was very attentive and friendly, as well as Rebecca at the front desk, who helped us navigate the city of Charleston. For two senior married ladies, out on the town for the night, the streets felt very safe for strolling after dinner. We were comfortable walking the short distance to all the most popular attractions around our hotel, located in the heart of historic Charleston. The Andrew Pinckney Hotel is definitely on the agenda for my next stay in Charleston!

Girls Trip! We have been to Charleston MANY times but it was our first time staying at Andrew Pinckney Inn. Our room was in the building across the street from the front desk. I didn't realize there are two buildings before we arrived. Our building was convenient to the 4th floor solarium for breakfast and wine hour. The breakfast was delicious- I had quiche and a chocolate croissant every morning. The building was quiet. Our room was furnished beautifully. It was a small room but had everything we needed! The entire property was clean and the staff were very friendly. They called us by name when they saw us. We never had to wait to get our car from the valet- a perk of a small hotel. I loved how convenient the hotel was. We were steps away from The Market and Meeting Street yet our street was not very busy. It was perfect. We walked all over Charleston. We are already planning to return and bringing some friends with us.

I recently stayed here for 3 nights, 4 days for my husbands 50th. Room was great, loved the breakfast/wine that's included. Barbara was so sweet & wonderful. I have to say though, the front desk staff is so unfriendly and not inviting whatsoever. Upon arrival, Rebecca was not welcoming and had a sour puss on her face like we were bothering her. Upon departure, the guy (I forget his name) also very unfriendly. Didn't ask how our stay was, no smile, no thank you for staying with us, nothing. The ONLY person I can say who was delightful was Brittany. So sweet! We loved Charleston overall but this was disappointing

The room description of "view of the atrium" is incredibly misleading. The atrium is not an open air center of the building with natural light. It is the hallway of the hotel. The shade stays closed unless you want other guests to look into your room. Paying a lot for a room with no window.

How in the world does this dumpster fire of a hotel have positive reviews?! I am very well traveled and can say with confidence this place is awful and has the worst staff I have ever encountered.

Christine K.

First time staying here. There are definite pros and cons. Starting with the positives: excellent location, super friendly staff, lovely common area on the 4th floor with a cheese social hour in late afternoon and a breakfast served each morning. The room was very quiet despite being so close to everything. Unfortunately our room was lacking: they refer to it as a suite, which isn't an accurate description. It's a king room with a sofa, no door on the sink area of the bathroom, and the toilet & tub are in a tight little space...you have to step around the toilet and stand between it & the tub to close the door. And the fan in this little room runs constantly, no way to turn it off. On our day of departure my lip balm rolled off the dresser and fell behind it. My husband moved the dresser to retrieve it....ugh! It was filthy! Old food remnants, dusty bunnies...we left the chapstick where it lay. The room needs a good cleaning.

It is exactly as advertised - an Inn. It is very quaint with an easy check-in/check-out process and kind workers. Location is amazing, literally within 1-1.5 miles from almost EVERYTHING and a cheap Uber ride from anything else. Highly suggest for couples, but I can say (and nothing against kids) - if you are there with couples with kids, the walls are paper thin. So if people aren't respectful of time/noise, you may have a less than desirable time. Also, we were underneath the breakfast room which was VERY loud (3rd floor). Bed comfy, room clean, and great offerings. Highly suggest.

Great location with secure valet parking. You can EASILY access your car to get anything you might need that you didn't think you would - eg umbrella

What to like: - Great location in the center of Charleston that's walkable to many of the best restaurants and parks - Our room with a single king bed was comfortable and spacious - Reasonably priced parking at $24/day, though the website says $22/day - Wine and cheese hour nightly with ample wine selections What to not like: - Indifferent front desk staff - Thin walls with a good bit of noise traveling between rooms - Cleanliness was just ok I have mixed thoughts about this place. Our room was comfortable. The location was perfect and there were some unique amenities. However, our stay started on a sour note. We were arriving early. I was told they'd try to have the room ready early and it would certainly be ready by 3. (4pm is the listed check in time online, though it says 3pm in other places.) We understood and went about exploring the city, knowing we'd receive a text when the room was ready. As it approached 3pm without a text, we returned to the inn to learn the room was not ready and it was unclear whether it would be ready early. We watched others check in early, without hassle. The final straw was when, during a changeover from the day to evening clerk, the evening front desk told her colleague gruffly that "rooms are ready when they are ready". Most places will make a sincere effort to get you in early when they can do so, but not this place. They follow the letter of their "rules", even when they go against what they previously told you and what they publish in other places.

I stayed here for one week and it was a great experience. The downtown location can't be beat: close to many historic sites, good restaurants, and boutique shopping. It is also a little off the main streets, so is generally quiet. There is free breakfast and wine & cheese daily in the solarium, which provides a beautiful view of Cooper River and the streets below. There is usually a daily valet parking fee, but at the present time, there is free self-parking. The lot is kind of small and some guests have very large cars/trucks, so it's important to be careful while entering and exiting, especially when the entrance/exit is only one lane wide. I stayed in a room without windows. The only thing I wished I had was a window that opened. During the summer, it can get quite stuffy. Even with air conditioning, the room can be cool but still stuffy. Because I stayed in the room for one week, I had to occasionally air out the room with the door open. By the way, I never found out who was Andrew Pinckney. If anyone knows, let me know!

Andrew Pinckney Inn on Pinckney Street in Charleston is a beautiful and historic place to stay that is in the middle of everything. Everything here is well maintained and different from other locations. The staff here is very accommodating and does everything that they can do to make sure that you have the best stay.

I had a great recommendation to stay here and was soooooo excited to be in a boutique hotel in Charleston. We got here and it's adorable, very clean, nice, friendly... concierge gave great recommendation for lunch while our room was getting ready. Came back and got a very small king room with no bath tub... all pics on website show a bathtub. Went to take a nap and there was blood on my sheets and I had to ask them to come and switch the sheets out while we were at dinner. Very, very gross. They are very friendly and kind and did change the sheets promptly. Happy hour and breakfast is included, so excited to try that today but overall feeling a tad bummed about the small things this far. Do very much appreciate the pack n play for our baby.

Stayed here as a treat for one of my first post-vaccination vacations, and enjoyed many parts of my stay. The staff was friendly and happy to hold onto my things before check-in and after I checked out. The rooms are spacious and pretty, and the building itself is visually similar to the architecture Charleston is known for. And it's not too far of a walk from King St, the Battery, and other areas of interest. They offer complimentary breakfast service, either delivered to your door or in the solarium across the street, and due to COVID did not provide housekeeping services unless requested. Overall the stay was fine, but with a few cons. 1. They have a text service so you can text the front desk with any needs. I liked this, especially during COVID so you don't have to be in person every time you need something. But they also text you multiple times a day to ask you to rate your stay so far--gets a little annoying when you're trying to enjoy your time in the city. This was mirrored in the staff--on our last day, they came knocking on our door at 8am to check if we were still there (and checkout isn't until 11). 2. We opted for room service breakfast throughout our stay, and they got our order wrong half the time. Didn't make a huge impact since there's plenty of breakfast places in the area we wanted to try, but felt bad wasting food we didn't order and couldn't eat because of dietary restrictions.

A beautiful hotel in a great location in downtown Charleston. We stayed in a Junior Suite which was beautiful and very spacious for a hotel room in a city. The room included a couch, a King bed, a desk area, and was very open. The room does not include a refrigerator or microwave, but does include a Keurig coffee maker. The bathroom was a little tight. There was separation between the sink and shower/toilet room which made it easier for two people to get ready at the same time. The location can't be beat. The Charleston City Market is just steps away from the hotel. A very short walk away is Bay Street where many good restaurants are located like Magnolia's and Poogan's Smokehouse. It was less than a 10 minute walk to King Street for a large selection of shopping. Waterfront Park is less than a five minute walk and it is a short walk to White Point Garden and Rainbow Row. We were easily able to walk to everything. Each stay includes a continental breakfast and a wine and cheese hour. The lobby always had lemonade, tea, coffee, and cookies as well. The continental breakfast was good for a light breakfast each morning. They also had some frozen quiche for those that want something a bit heavier for breakfast. The wine hour was great our first night and had a nice variety of cheeses, two types of wine, boiled peanuts, and some fruit. The second night the wine hour was more sparse, but was still fine for being offered as part of the stay. The best part of breakfast and wine hour was the rooftop patio to enjoy it all on. The only real miss with Andrew Pinckney Inn for us was some of the hotel staff. The good was that the three valets we encountered were all were very helpful and welcoming. They hit the mark for the service you'd expect at a small hotel/inn. The woman that was running breakfast each morning was also very friendly.The office employees weren't rude, but they definitely didn't go out of their way to make us feel welcome. The couple of times we stopped into the office they seemed put out to answer simple questions and we had to greet them instead of the other way around. The two woman that were running the wine hour both evenings of our stay were very unfriendly and couldn't be bothered to greet guests as they arrived or smile at anyone. One of the perks of other small hotels we've stayed at in the past was extra attention to good service and this just missed the mark. Overall, the hotel is beautiful and really fit in with the feel of Charleston. The location and stay inclusions were the icing on the cake.

Future guests beware - if there is a weather event like Hurricane Ian you will still have to pay a cancel fee. Like we just had to right now. Seems like a very poor business model that does not have enough foresight to have some type of insurance policy in place for income loss if you are doing business in a place that does get hurricanes. What a wonderful experience. Oof

What a wonderful inn. I would definitely stay there again. It is very clean and the rooms are fantastic. We stayed there twice. Once before the cruise and once afterwards. The first night we had a room across the street from the main facility. The room was perfect. That side of the complex has the wine and cheese/crackers in the late afternoon. This was definite bonus to our stay. But the breakfast in the morning was average. I was not particularly impressed with the food nothing is homemade. Our 2nd night was in the main building and that room was super. The hotel's location is within walking distance from everything. This is wonderful establishment and would highly recommend.

Great little hotel in the heart of Charleston. I stayed here last weekend with a group of girl friends. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. They had a very nice complimentary breakfast and happy hour everyday. We enjoyed visiting with other travelers daily. They also have warm cookies and coffee in the afternoon. The hotel is in a great location as well, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. Highly recommend!

Really cute and perfect for your getaway. The evening wine and snacks are awesome and the breakfast was quite a nice surprise; lots of options rather than a few bagels and orange juice. Lady running the breakfast was so friendly. Front desk lady was cold and not very helpful though; although we found a lot of the staff in Charleston to be rude; maybe it's a cultural thing??

What a wonderful place! Attention to detail is not missing at this charming inn. We stayed in a two queen bed room that accommodated our family of four well. The guest service is award winning! Rebecca was very thoughtful and patient with all her guests, along with the late night concierge when we arrived late at night upon our arrival (I can't remember his name). The sweet hospitality Employee working in the breakfast area was one of the kindest employees I have EVER met! Thank you for making our quick trip in Charleston rememberable - I appreciate you!

Amazing!! We had such a wonderful stay at the Inn. First off the location is perfect! Close to everything but still tucked away and quaint. The room was a decent size for the price in Charleston. The bed was super comfy too. Best of all was the amazing breakfast and happy hour included with the stay. We will be back soon!

I was really looking forward to our stay at the Andrew Pickney Inn. I wanted to stay in a quaint place vs a chain and the online description was very enticing. I booked using a third party travel site and was given the choice to pick a double queen room or room selected upon check-in. I thought I would leave it up to chance and go with the room upon arrival and in hindsight, I should have picked the two queen room. The Inn has two buildings- one where you check-in and do valet with a few rooms upstairs and then another bright yellow building across the street. We pulled up in our car and it took a few minutes for valet to greet us. We unloaded our bags and checked in. The desk agent was nice and did a good job reciting all the information about breakfast, reception, etc. We were given room 211 and I would never pick this room or any other room facing the interior courtyard of the other building. We crossed the street and took the elevator to the 2nd floor. You have to maneuver big chairs and tables to get to room 211 and the surrounding rooms and there is hardly any space. Add suitcases and people sitting and reading and you have a real traffic jam. Our room had a an antique queen bed and no windows. We were also put in an accessible room with a stand up shower and no bathtub. If I had picked the two queen room, I would have gotten a window and tub. The room was loud and you could hear everything next door , outside the room and elevator shaft noises all day and night. We had to turn on the loud buzzing ac unit in the room to drown out the noise. The room was very very small and if you want a windowless , prison-like room, ask for 211. There was a turn-down service on the first night and little chocolates were left on the bed. Reception: there is a daily wine reception on the 4th floor patio from 4-5 with wines and cheeses. The view is great. Breakfast: the morning complimentary breakfast is 7-10am on the rooftop patio and is more than continental. The selection of pastries, biscuits and gravy, fruit, yoghurts, and coffee and teas is very nice. The view also makes it very unique. The reception and breakfast changed my mind a bit and the location is very hard to beat. You are in the heart of Charleston and can walk to Meeting Street or the City Market in no time. The finale that just demoted the star review to a 2 is how our car was returned. The valet price is $25 a Day and the cars get parked in the small courtyard right next door. Our car was COVERED in bird poop. For $50, I am not asking for much but at this point after two uncomfortable nights in a dark, small and loud room, I am not happy. I would suggest you re-evaluate the parking or hand out $8 car wash vouchers. I will not be returning.

We are normally not too picky about these things, but when you pay this much money for a hotel you do want a bathtub that seals properly, a breakfast that is better than Holiday Inn's, a shower where 'hot' signifies hot water and 'cold' signifies cold water (rather than vice versa), and a do-not-disturb sign that doesn't fall off the door. Pretty but not worth it.

Beautiful and elegant representation of Charleston. This Bed and Breakfast is in the heart of the historic / Market Street district of Charleston, SC. A walk to the market, some of the finest restaurants including FIG, Hank's and Peninsula Grill, valet parking, 24 hour front desk support, rooftop lounge for breakfast, happy hour or just watching the sun set, two buildings, coffee and snacks in the lobby and gorgeous rooms.

This is a nice historic building in center of town. The staff was friendly and helpful and everything was clean and in good condition. However our room was very small- basically a bed with a little walking space around it, with a tiny closet, small bath, and almost no space for luggage. Also, the air conditioner was directly over the bed and blew cold air on our heads, making it hard to sleep. It was similar to old hotels in Europe, but it was over $500 per night and we were not in Paris or London!

Super nice! We stayed at the Phillip's suite! Very private and in a central location. Very clean room! Enjoyed the bed was cozy, the bathroom was amazing! Super big shower, nice bathtub and love the door! Only down was a humidifier that kept asking to be clean every 8 hours. I wish the person in the counter would have told us to check it before going to sleep. During our first night it went off and woke us up! Location is amazing and great cleaning of common areas! I loved that this tiny inn was romantic and helpful! Loved the gifts in our room and the social distance map and treats! The breakfast was free. We tried it night 1 but we wanted to check out local shops so we only tried it once. I loved the views from our room. TV satellite was bad, but WiFi was good! Friendly staff! It was raining and Theo offer umbrellas to use. They actually asked for them back to sanitize! Wow! Great service! Will visit again!

The room was bigger than I expected. We stayed in a traditional room in the building on Church St. The wine and cheese hour was nice. Breakfast was okay. Not a fan of gluten free foods. Most of the food, if not all of the food, was gluten free. I get there are people with gluten allergies but not everybody is allergic to gluten. The French toast soufflé was the best thing on the menu, IMO. The atrium is on the smaller size. One of the mornings there were way too many people. We were able to take our food to our room. The view from the atrium is very nice though. The last morning we were there the Carnival Cruise ship was docked. We were able to see it from there. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Stayed overnight before boarding the Carnival Sunshine. Beautiful hotel near port. Entire staff we encounter were extremely friendly and helpful. Especially appreciated chatting with breakfast hostess - who made me the best bowl of instant grits. The inn says continental breakfast but it was a full spread. Rooms were comfortable and loved the decor! Short walk to area restaurants, shopping, and Harris Teeter grocery store. Will definitely stay again when back in Charleston.

Gorgeous building with timeless old world character that you can't find in newer buildings. The parking is about $25 per night so factor that into your stay. They have a great wine and cheese hour in the afternoon and they have a continental breakfast. My main complaint would be the condition of the plantation shutters in the room. They were in such bad conditions they couldn't be opened to look outside.

The Andrew Pinckney Inn was by far the best hotel I've ever had the pleasure of staying in for the value. My experience started with the sweetest concierge and freshly baked cookies in the lobby. I got up to my room which was decorated with the cutest boutique yet antique style. The lounge area on the second floor was darling but better yet the lounge on the fourth floor has a complimentary wine and cheese hour every day starting at 4pm...need i say more about this fabulous establishment?? Oh wait...complimentary breakfast catered from the cutest local bakery as the main course and other supplementals like muffins fruit bowls granola etc. Keurigs and k cups were provided in every room. We originally only booked our stay for 2 nights but booked a 3rd after realizing we loved it so much.

Clean room with very comfy bed in a great location in the historic district. Great breakfast, even during Covid. Complimentary cookies at check-in plus wine and cheese happy hour in the late afternoon. We missed this due to a tour of Fort Sumter so the manager delivered a beautiful tray to our room! Highly recommend.

Pros: The continental breakfast was very involved so you had a lot of options and it has an outdoor terrace so you can enjoy the view. It is located close to many attractions, bars, and restaurants. Cons: Front desk staff lack personality and look like they would rather die than work there. Room was tiny. You can hear pretty much everything that happens in every single part of the hotel. Our room was directly under the breakfast terrace so we were woken up by very loud foot steps every morning at 4 am. Our window faced the side street so we enjoyed the loud sounds of music from the garbage man and someone who was playing basket ball with glasses in our dumpster for a half hour every morning, The hotel had a dingy smell. Our air conditioner made a loud buzzing sound and we couldn't make it stop. I basically did not sleep for 4 nights.

We enjoyed our stay in Charleston and Andrew Pinckney Inn. Check-in was easy. Valet the car. We got a great rate on line which included parking. Parking is normally $25. Our only complaint is that the rooftop where they offer wine and cheese and also breakfast in the morning should have ceiling fans. It was very hot and humid in late June. Elizabeth who tendered the wine between 4-5 p.m. was a delight.

One of my good friends found this place for us to stay and i am glad he did. This location is very historic and puts you right in the thick of a vibrant tourist location in the city. We walked everywhere downtown and this location makes it very easy to do that. The rooms are all converted and updated from the original location. They are a bit quirky but all original, if the floors and walls could talk! The staff was spot on and the Valet Parking is really EZ and efficient. The costs were in line with the area. I really enjoyed the close proximity to really good food and entertainment. The history of the city tour whether you walk or go by horse is a must do if you have never done it before.

AWe stayed at the Andrew Pinckney Inn for four nights for our first time visiting Charleston. The location is perfect as you can walk to a variety of restaurants and attractions within 10 minutes or less. Check-in went smoothly and they offer cucumber water, lemonade, cookies, apples and hot tea in the lobby. Our room was quaint and cozy. The housekeepers kept our room very clean throughout our stay and were always cheerful and hospitable when we passed each other in the hallways. The complimentary breakfast was great, as it was beyond the traditional continental breakfast. In addition to yogurt, fruit and pastries they offered biscuits and gravy, quiche, and hard boiled eggs. The breakfast seating area is on the rooftop which offers wonderful views of downtown Charleston. They also offer a complimentary wine and cheese hour from 4-5 pm. We were too busy sight seeing (and eating!) to take advantage. While the inn does not have a fitness center, they offer all their guests complimentary access to Pivotal Fitness down the street. A few issues held me back from giving five stars. Firstly, the walls of the rooms are paper thin. We could often hear our neighbors late into the night. Secondly, the front desk employees seem to be constantly annoyed anytime we encountered them. While waiting for our ride to the airport, two women at the desk were discussing how annoying certain guests were, right in front of us, which made me feel uncomfortable. Overall, while the Andrew Pinckney Inn is a bit pricier than your average chain hotel, I believe it is worth it for the location, views, and amenities.

I am a professional DJ and I have been traveling to Charleston (AND all over the southeast) for YEARS to DJ weddings... The Andrew Pinckney Inn is my FAVORITE by far. This place makes you feel like LUXURY (without the STICKER SHOCK) The staff was AMAZING... 5 stars all the way! From the cucumber water, ICE COLD lemonade and RIDICULOUSLY AWESOME cookies in the office upon arrival to the TOP SHELF MUFFINS and FANTASTIC breakfast quiche that Cynthia serves up with a LOT of personality at the included breakfast. EVERYTHING here is well thought and obviously INTENTIONAL. Molly was SUPER professional, welcoming and friendly upon arrival! Luke and James were SUPER helpful with valet and I felt like my car was SAFE. Charleston is NOTORIOUSLY a pain in the a$$ to find parking so the location of this place is PERFECT. It's a 5 minute walk to EVERYTHING we wanted to do and we never had to WORRY about parking. Will served up COMPLIMENTARY wine and some of best cheese I have ever had (its FREE) Julie SAVED THE DAY when I realized I forgot my shaving cream and I had 10 minutes to arrive at the WEDDING I WAS DJing (God Bless You) All in all the stay was OUTSTANDING. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated and the staff seems HANDPICKED (God job Molly) I am staying here again in a few weeks and probably EVERY TIME I COME BACK! You CANNOT GO WRONG STAYING HERE

Price wasn't bad but I got what I paid for. The room was small -- like NYC room size (which is small and not what I'd expect outside a huge metropolitan city). The wood floor definitely showed wear and tear. I had an internal view of the building which I found pretty awkward since people can walk right by my window and a lot of the light can pour in from the hallway/atrium. The only other negative was I had 1 or 2 bugs flying around. It didn't look like it was because the place was unclean but somehow bugs managed to get in. That said, the staff was nice. They have a nice setup of free beverages in the lobby and a complimentary breakfast on a beautiful terrace overlooking the city.

We live in Charleston, but stayed in the Andrew Pinckney Inn the night of our engagement. We wanted to have a "staycation" downtown. My fiancé had purchased one of the packages from the Garden & Gun Revival weekend. Upon arrival, the front desk told us they had noticed our package came with a gift card to Fleet Landing and that we hadn't made a reservation so they made one for us. While that was EXTREMELY nice and thoughtful, our package was supposed to come with a gift card to SNOB, where we already had a reservation. He said we could go up to our room (which an employee walked us up to while carrying our bags. Very nice) while he figured it out. Not only did he call to say it was straightened out, but since we had told him we were engaged that morning, he sent someone up with a bottle of champagne. The room was very cute. Very comfortable king bed. The bathtub was gigantic. We joked it could be an infinity pool. The breakfast on the terrace in the morning was wonderful with great views. We will recommend our future wedding guests to say here!

What we liked: the location, breakfast and a comfy bed. What we didn't like: our Interior room felt like a Dirty Storage room or a box with always Stale Air. There were no windows that allowed for fresh air. Shower had basically no separation with the rest of the bathroom, so after we were done taking a shower, the rest of the bathroom reminded us of marshlands. The fan in the bathroom was not working, and if we showered in the evening, everything was still wet in the morning. My husband kept AC unit on in hopes of some sort of air circulation, but it didn't help even bit. I happen to drop my phone between the night stand and the bed and the amount of Dirt I saw was Disgusting! No wonder why my allergies were acting up! The headboard in our room was fixed with a paper napkin! I looked forward Wine and Cheese 4-5 pm on the top roof. Cheese selection was decent, Wine not much so, it tasted like wine diluted with sweet water, the type you buy in "Value Wines" section. Needless to say, I did not finished my glass, nor we were back there again. All things considered, We did not enjoy our stay! $1,100 for 4 nights seemed like a rip off and we Would Not Recommend this hotel to anyone!

I am a solo woman traveler, so when reading blogs about Charleston, many bloggers recommended this Inn. I booked my stay for 4 nights. This Inn did not disappoint. Very quiet, the staff was extremely friendly, I especially enjoyed speaking with Paris the valet attendant who kindly recommended his favorite nearby restaurants and was spot on with all of his recommendations, thank you Paris!! The morning buffet breakfast on the rooftop was delicious and the atmosphere was serene. I have horrible neck issues and slept sound, no pain from bed, very comfy. They have beach towels you can borrow and umbrellas. This Inn is in the heart of the historical district, one block from the market place and plenty of shopping off Meeting street. For me it's all about location and a quiet room to rest in. They made my trip special.

We just stayed here for 2 nights. Very clean hotel, friendly valet attendants. The breakfast was not great, neither was the wine hour.
