This is a beautiful building and the rooms are wonderfully furnished, the bed was so comfortable and all the little details were thought of including robes, nice toiletries, coffee etc. The breakfast was simple but perfect, with everything being really high quality. Happy hour with wine and a cheese platter each day was delightful. The owners and staff were super friendly and helpful pointing us in the right direction for everything we wanted to do for our stay in the city. I would recommend this for a luxurious getaway.

We stayed on the first floor opposite reception and we could hear a lot of noise and talking early in the morning as people were checking out. Wasn't a huge problem for us and it is to be expected in such an old building but worth pointing out in case this bothers you (or you could ask to not be in that room).

The breakfast was perfect! It was everything that I needed and more. We loved having access to the bikes. The Inn was welcoming and homey. So much so that I felt comfortable being barefoot. We loved the wine and cheese hour.

There were a few times we went looking for a staff member, but they were out of the office. We were able to text with questions, which was great. We understood they were working, so it wasn’t a big problem at all.

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. 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.

If you want an elevator or in-room microwaves or refrigerators, then you might need a more standard stay. I would challenge you though to let go and immerse yourself in a historic experience. Parking is $29 per day, which is a bit of a bummer but for a guaranteed space it's %100 worth it.

Exceptionally clean and pleasant staff. One of the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in! The breakfast including local bread, quiche and homemade yogurt and granola. The wine and cheese in the evening was also locally sourced. Will absolutely stay here again on my next trip to Charleston.

I loved the quaint room with access to the porch. Sitting on the comfy sofa having breakfast and coffee helped us to imagine what it was like to live there so long ago.

There was nothing we did not like. The hosts give great attention to detail!

Marion and Lori and their staff created a wonderful experience from the start. Communication is superb, their welcome, their service, their attention to detail, the hospitality was first class. 86 Cannon is perfect for a vacation in Charleston. We used the bikes for an easy cycle downtown to explore the historic sites, their restaurant recommendations were superb. We will definitely come back.

Hospitality throughout our visit. Evangeline and Lizzy were helpful with recommendations and we enjoyed the house bikes

Nothing comes to mind

nothing

We really enjoyed out stay, the inn was beautiful, the breakfast delicious and the location was great for walking everywhere we wanted to go. The staff was very hospitable and we will definitely stay again when in Charleston.

The location and staff were AMAZING. The building and space were comfortable and clean! Breakfast was simple but good. The wine and cheese hour was an unexpected delight :)

The room could have used more hooks, it was rainy when we were there...
