Charleston at it’s finest!!
Such a life-changing and luxurious experience! We stayed at 20 South Battery Inn for 2 nights. We were pampered and very well cared for. Wine and cheese in the evenings and a delicious breakfast as well. The staff were the kindest and friendliest ever. We took snacks with us to explore the city. Very comfortable and clean. We stepped back into the past and enjoyed a romantic weekend in beautiful Charleston. Right off the battery with an amazing view from the top floor. A must stay for a romantic weekend!

The staff was amazing! Everyone we encountered were extremely welcoming. The inn offers free water, soda, tea and coffee 24hrs a day. Free wine, cheese and meat plates from 5-7. Complementary breakfast in bed and free parking. If you are looking to relax on a get away this is the perfect place. The staff goes above and beyond!! They are walking distance from many attractions and quite at night. You're going to love it here.
