Perfection
The Barksdale Inn was absolutely adorable. The inn is beautiful, our room was nicely decorated and very comfortable, and it was a great location to easily walk around Charleston. The staff could not have been nicer. We were so sad to leave!!

The Barksdale is conveniently located for walking around Charleston. The staff were friendly and helpful and the building is a lovely old house with much more charm and character than a chain hotel.

I liked that the location was far enough off the "main drag" so that it wasn't noisy at night, but closed enough to walk to everything I needed.

Very fun and comfortable. Breakfast was GREAT. Place could use a bit of interior painting done. But that DID NOT take away from our enjoying the inn and staff.

I came back to Charleston for a vacation in my hometown. The staff at the Barksdale House Inn could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The breakfasts were delicious and tea time was a lovely treat. The location is perfect. I was able to walk to everything I wanted to see and do in downtown Charleston. I will definitely be back and highly recommend the Barksdale House Inn to anyone visiting Charleston.
