We had a wonderful stay at the Barksdale! The staff was so nice and we really enjoyed the breakfast and snacks. The only downside was how damp the property felt. The dampness made the room smell.

Very good location, close to College of Charleston, King shopping street, city market and many restaurants. Walkable distance to many attractions.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
A little different from most bed and breakfast inns we’ve stayed at in the past. The facility is primarily beds and baths, more like a hotel. Common areas, of which there are several, are for dining. One is outdoors in a lovely courtyard. We didn’t meet the owners, just staff members who were running the place. Room was great. Breakfast was good, too. Guests order from a menu so there are a variety of choices. Only negative was being charged to park in the facility’s parking area each night of our stay. Seems that could easily be a free courtesy to guests.

Great staff, lovely room and common areas. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. One block off King St. for shopping, and conveniently located to College of Charleston, the market and the riverfront. We walked everywhere! If there was a negative it would be that there is a large parking lot behind the property. Overall, an excellent value and stay!
