Staff was amazing! Great breakfast that’s included in price. Room #1 and #2 is located at the front of the property so it can be very loud with people outside and passing cars.

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.
