The neighborhood is surrounded by the Medical University of South Carolina. It is a vibrant community that is just a few blocks from King Street, where you will find restaurants, bars and shops galore. Our neighborhood has restaurants, a yoga studio and a spa within steps of the house.

Weekend in Charleston
We had a wonderful time staying at the Parson Inn. It was not too far from downtown and only about a 20 minute drive to the beach. The room was clean and comfortable. We would definitely come back!

Great Location and Host
This was an amazing location for the price and perfect for a couple visiting Charleston for the weekend. Walking distance to King street and several other restaurants. Karen is an amazing host that left out snacks and a personalized note. Would recommend to anyone!!

Stay here
There could not have been more attentive and gracious hosts than the Parsons We needed assistance twice, and they were johnny on the spot. The property is very clean, and it is in a walkable restaurant-accessible neighborhood. I recommend staying here.

Nice spot close to colleges and King St.
Our stay was lovely! The only downside was the bathroom being on the second floor and our room being on the third floor. Separate bathroom was on the listing I just wasn’t aware it wasn’t on the same floor.

Great location and well maintained but terrible bed.
Potentially excellent value let down by lumpy mattress and awkward access through narrow door to 3rd floor room.

Well located clean but noisy
Good location - walked to all the sights in 30-40 mins, clean and comfortable bed. The noise being an old property was an issue for us, both the sirens/helicopters (it’s next to ED) and the internal noise of us/others creaking up and down stairs in the night to the shared bathroom. Heavy sleepers would be fine though.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
NO PRIVATE BATHROOM
perfect room and comfortable amenities provided. Bathroom shown in photo was not private or attached to room. I would have NOT booked this room if I knew that we would be SHARING with other guests. This should be more clearly noted in the listing.

Affordable Stay
This property was very affordable. It was quaint and the location was okay. The Inn is located close to a hospital, so ambulance and emergency vehicle sirens sounded often at all hours. It did have off road parking which was nice. However, it was very tight and 4-5 cars could not fit easily. The shared bathroom was okay. It was a nice bathroom with the style. I do feel that it could have been cleaner for my preference. The grout was stained thought the shower as well as the rest of the floor. I have a similar style tile and grout in my home bathroom and it appeared to be mildew/mold. My shower does the same thing and frequent cleaning with appropriate cleaners takes care of it. There were plenty towels and toiletries. We enjoyed the bottle of wine left in our room and the snacks provided downstairs. The smart tv was nice for signing into our streaming services. The property manager was great and answered messages promptly. Overall it was an affordable and quirky rental.

Liked: Communication
Problems started on the front porch. No manager on-site. Front door locked. Pressed doorbell and got a recording that no one was available. Called on the telephone, same result. Half an hour of waiting for a return call — none came — and called again. This time someone answered. She said she'd sent me an e-mail but none came. Told me the code for entering the building. Room on the third floor — no elevator — bathroom/shower on the second floor. Bathroom shared with other building occupants. Manager said this was disclosed on their website but the acknowledged that other people had trouble seeing anything about that, too. Trucks driving by all night long, huge noise.

Great location. Very nice old house. The only downside, is that you have to share a bathroom with other guests. I wish that was more clearly stated on the listing. Thank you for a great visit!

Great first time staying in an Inn
Room was clean and airy. There was an individual hvac unit and air purifier so the room wasn't stuffy. The bed was low but was very comfortable and soft. The room was on the third floor and the stairs weren't that bad. The Inn was full but we very rarely heard any of the other guests. The free parking behind the Inn was a plus. The lobby had a table with complimentary snacks and we were given a complimentary bottle of wine which was very nice and unexpected. Even though the bathroom was shared, it was kept clean. I would definitely recommend this property for single travelers and couples.

Very cozy and accommodating
We really enjoyed our stay at Parson Inn. I initially missed that there was a shared bathroom but we had no issues with shared usage. The place was very cozy, clean and quiet. Karen is a wonderful hostess who was very quick to help with an AC issue we had. She was incredibly quick to respond and fix the issue. The value was fantastic and close to everything. Would definitely stay again!
