This is a beautiful building and the rooms are wonderfully furnished, the bed was so comfortable and all the little details were thought of including robes, nice toiletries, coffee etc. The breakfast was simple but perfect, with everything being really high quality. Happy hour with wine and a cheese platter each day was delightful. The owners and staff were super friendly and helpful pointing us in the right direction for everything we wanted to do for our stay in the city. I would recommend this for a luxurious getaway.

We stayed on the first floor opposite reception and we could hear a lot of noise and talking early in the morning as people were checking out. Wasn't a huge problem for us and it is to be expected in such an old building but worth pointing out in case this bothers you (or you could ask to not be in that room).

WARNING: Staying at this location will ruin all of your other hotel experiences :D. Hoteling has changed quite a bit, and service is not at all what it used to be, but 86 Cannon sets the standard, and they have policies that support a great experience that many hotels don't have. The property is outstanding. I spent quite a bit of time soaking in the sun on one of two glorious piazzas. They also have a library on the third floor. The hotel feels like home and I had to resist the urge to walk about the property in my pajamas and bed slippers. It's quiet, clean, and restorative. The staff was incredible, and I have to give a special shoutout to Megan and Karly for being so kind and attentive to all things all the time. I'm vegan and I had an injury that needed ice and they kindly helped me get situated. The location is nestled in a quieter part of downtown yet within walking distance of shops and restaurants. If you want to experience hotelier excellence, stay here. It's a great reminder of how travel should be.

If you want an elevator or in-room microwaves or refrigerators, then you might need a more standard stay. I would challenge you though to let go and immerse yourself in a historic experience. Parking is $29 per day, which is a bit of a bummer but for a guaranteed space it's %100 worth it.

Marion and Lori and their staff created a wonderful experience from the start. Communication is superb, their welcome, their service, their attention to detail, the hospitality was first class. 86 Cannon is perfect for a vacation in Charleston. We used the bikes for an easy cycle downtown to explore the historic sites, their restaurant recommendations were superb. We will definitely come back.

Beautifully restored historic property that has all of the modern amenities, but maintains the southern charm. Nice room, amazingly comfortable Grand King bed. The sound machine is a nice touch. Wine and cheese hour was wonderful, with a personally prepared cheese board and wine in the upstairs library. breakfast was very good…quiches from local bakery, croissants, fresh fruit, yogurt and granola. The weather was cold during our stay, but I look forward to enjoying the outdoor areas on my next stay! Elliott and Ashley were wonderful.

everything, I think everything I wanted to say has already been mentioned in other reviews, property is stunning, location is great, the people we met, especially Karli, were wonderful, open to every question one might have, breakfast was wonderful, I think there was so much thought put into everything, it was a pleasure

nothing

We really enjoyed out stay, the inn was beautiful, the breakfast delicious and the location was great for walking everywhere we wanted to go. The staff was very hospitable and we will definitely stay again when in Charleston.

The location and staff were AMAZING. The building and space were comfortable and clean! Breakfast was simple but good. The wine and cheese hour was an unexpected delight :)

The room could have used more hooks, it was rainy when we were there...

The property was very nice, well maintained and clean

check in procedure was a little intense. Attendant was very friendly, but the process was antiquated. A quicker more efficient check in would be nice in the future.

This was one of our most amazing stays in Charleston, and we go often. The attention to detail was incredible. From the stunning Garden Suite down to the locally sourced breakfast and wine+cheese hour. Eating breakfast on the piazza was my favorite part. The staff was there to serve you at every moment but almost disappeared so you don’t feel overwhelmed. I felt a little like a celebrity! I would stay here again tomorrow if I could. Absolutely amazing.

Not a thing.

I want every hotel to be like 86 Cannon. We will definitely come back. Everything about our stay was exceptional. Thank you Ashley & Elliott for taking such good care of us!

This is a Charleston thing, NOT the resort, but bring bug spray. The nats bit me so badly while exploring the city.
