We absolutely loved our stay at 20 South Battery. The building and grounds are beautiful and historic. The location is perfect! Can walk everywhere from the waterfront and into the French Quarter. We cannot wait to return and we will be telling friends and families that it’s a must stay when in Charleston. The evening wine and charcuterie on the front porch was lovely as well! Thank you very much!!

So happy we stayed at 20 South Battery. The staff was outstanding. So kind, helpful and informative. Definitely went above and beyond to accommodate. The location was perfect. Just out of the heart of the busier, noisier areas but still close to everything. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning!

Disliked: Room comfort
Some rooms are awful / Beware Hotels.com
This property has several rooms - some are in the main house: some are on street level (similar to a basement), and some are surrounded by a garden. We paid an exorbitant rate for a small garishly decorated room, without much light, and cheap ceramic tile floors (not the wood floors pictured). The one good thing - it was located on a quiet street. We also checked out a day early (for illness) and were still charged. Totally disputing Hotels.com because the independent hotel charge was half of what Hotels.com charged me. Never using this service again.
