Battery Carriage House Inn

Birthday Road Trip

We were a little disappointed. It was said to be a B&B but it was more like a motel. We were under the impression that we would be staying in a room that was part of the actual house, not additional rooms added on to the back of the house. The breakfast was very limited. The staff was super nice and did inform us that the room we were staying in was reportedly one of the most haunted rooms there (room 8). We arrived after hours which was not really a problem other than we had no code to access wifi. I would probably recommend, but I would also explain that it's more of a motel than B&B.

Spirited visit to the Battery Inn

So to be clear from the start this is a motel not a B&B. The main house is a large old Victorian house but you stayed out back in the extension they added on. This is where the horse carriages were keep. You do not see the main house. It is a private residence.
We booked a ghost package at the Inn. The room was nice. They do try and make it seem upscale with robes and turn down service where they leave you chocolates. There are 10 rooms. We stayed in room 8, where there are claims of a headless spirit that can be heard growling. You can see the results of our investigation on two YouTube videos. Battery Carriage House Inn and Battery Carriage Inn Charleston SC room 8.
Zak the manager was very helpful and easy to get a long with. The staff was all very pleasant and helpful.
The ghost were as advertised, the champagne and carriage ride were all great. Just had higher expectations of the building. Lower your expectations and you will have a good time.

Anniversary Stay

My husband and I did a quick overnight stay here and stayed in room 11. The room was clean and well presented and the staff very friendly. Check in was easy and street parking was easy to find. The location is excellent and the setting is beautiful The bed in room 11 is awful though. Hard mattress and flat pillows. Truly felt like I was camping! The "530pm cheese and wine" was not available when we entered the lobby that evening at 545pm and we had dinner reservations, so could not wait while staff put it out. Would have been nice to do that before dinner, as they advertise it and it was an expectation. The continental breakfast was very sad. I have stayed at "Bed and Breakfast" all over the world and I do not think this is a true "Bed and Breakfast." Overall though our stay was pleasant and welcoming.

Quick Stay

Apparently I was in a "haunted" room (and was told so by the front desk.) I imagine that's a perk for some people...but not me! I slept (barely) with the lights and TV on. Who knows if ghosts are real or not but that's not what I want to be thinking about when I stay! Perhaps I should have done more research on the property.
Staff was super friendly but the breakfast was small with few options. Did not use any other amenities, as I checked in late and checked out early.
Location is great, right on the Battery. The courtyard is lovely too.

Nice historic stay

The Battery Carriage House at 20 South Battery is at the southernmost point in the peninsula. It is just across the street from a scenic park that overlooks the bay. It is a large colonial period building; half is a private residence and half is divided into rental units. Our room felt a bit damp, but a modern in-room HVAC unit soon took care of that. The room is small but very well appointed and quite comfortable for two.
The personnel greeted us cheerily and were very helpful. Wine and cheese was served in the evening and a continental breakfast was available in the morning.
My only complaint is that the water has a very musty odor. It is evident in the drinking water, the shower and even the coffee. I suppose that this is not their fault, but is endemic in the water supply.
So by all means, enjoy a stay in this historic venue! But bring your own water.
