Planters Inn

A beautiful hotel right in the middle of everything! The staff and facilites are first class. The Peninsula Grill is always a sure bet. Staff was very helpful in securing reservations and helping with trip plans. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to truly feel the Charleston experience.

Overall the Inn was good. The room could have been cleaned better. There were old stains on the throw rug and dust balls on the wood floor along the molding. A wrapper and bottle top under armoire, you could see it from the bed. The bed for us was too firm. I have stayed here 4x and for the price we paid for the Garden Suite this time wasn't worth it.

Wonderful historic hotel in a great location with outstanding service and staff. We enjoyed a beautiful spacious suite with all the modern amenities. Location is close to many shops, restaurants and historic sights. Charleston is a great for walking and exploring.

We stayed at the Planters Inn Charleston and had a nice stay. Unfortunately we would not choose this hotel again for a number of reasons. The lobby and reception area is nicely done but not to the impressive level we expected. As world travelers we have probably higher expectations since we have had stays is some really nice hotels (not the too-too- oh- my) but really nice hotels The manager was very good. She knew her stuff and was very helpful. The concierge was apparently new but fried to hard to fulfill a role that she was ill equipped to perform. We asked for recommendations for dinners and it took the manager’s intercession to complete. She recommended place she has never been to. Apparently recommendations were based upon asked prices of meals- poor measure of a business. We went to some very pricy pa Laces with so so food. Not our ideal As far as the room we asked for a garden view and got a room on the annex with a view of the street with an entrance near the garden. Qiiwt enough but no atmosphere. The room was small (2lounge chairs but adjacent to the tv cabinet so inappropriate for relaxing and watching tv- a 42” ). That was no in room refrigerator. Housekeeping was good but attended to our room about 3 pm. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar(Peninsula) opens late afternoon. We like to drop by the bar mid afternoon for a lite bite and a cocktail. No such luck. Dinner there was a wonderful experience mainly due to our waiter Adam. The meal itself was ok but extraordinarily expensive for what we were served. The coconut cake is worth whatever they ask.

My husband and I stayed here for a quick birthday getaway and it absolutely exceeded expectations. From the bell service (shoutout to Cole!) to the front desk, everyone was friendly and accommodating. They ensured that our stay was nothing short of perfect by offering everything from complimentary wine and birthday cake — seriously, don’t skip out on their famous coconut cake — to various room cleanings throughout the day so that fresh towels and linens were never in short supply. I would also note that we were among the youngest guests (late twenties) during our stay as the clientele did seem to be older. That being said, I see no reason why those of all ages looking for a peaceful, relaxing or romantic getaway would not absolutely love this hotel. In fact, we opted to head back to the hotel room instead of hitting the town on my birthday night we enjoyed it so much. There is no question that we will be returning for our future visits to Charleston.
