Most Bed and Breakfasts in Charleston are owned by an individual or married couple who live on the premises and take care of travelers for a living. B&B's tend to offer unique bedrooms with all the essential amenities, as well as a full hot breakfast each morning. Most serve breakfast in the main dining room where you can enjoy conversation and laughter with other guests. In season, some B&B's serve breakfast on the porch or outside in the open air.

B&B's are not for everyone, but they can be an excellent alternative for individuals who enjoy interacting with their hosts and other guests. Below is a list of advantages and disadvantages to consider when staying in a B&B.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Charleston SC

Advantages of Staying at a Bed and Breakfast in Charleston 

• Staying at a Charleston Bed and Breakfast can be a unique experience because no two B & B's are the same and 75% are run out of historic homes.
• Food is usually better because it is home cooked and often cooked to order.
• B&Bs are more romantic than hotels.
• The personalized attention you get from your hosts including tips on local attractions and restaurants.
• The attention to detail - Top notch B&Bs will take great pride in the simple things including cleanliness, comfy beds and quality plush linens.
• Many B&Bs offer free wine, refreshments, and baked goods.
• The chance to meet and share stories with other guests.
• Many offer free parking.

Disadvantages of Staying at a Bed and Breakfast

• Sometimes you have to share a bathroom with other guests.
• Some B&Bs have thin walls so the guests next door may hear what you say and do and vice versa.
• Breakfast is typically served early so if you like to sleep in, you may miss out.
• Sometimes the rooms can be small with little storage or closet space.
• You do not always enjoy quite the same freedoms to come and go late at night or hang around the property during the daytime as you might have in a hotel setting.
• Because B&B's are privately owned businesses, cancellation policies are usually stricter than those of hotels

Things To Remember

• Always try to book in advance because only about 10% of the rooms in Charleston are Bed and Breakfasts
• The peak season months are September, October, March, April, and May
• When you call to book reservations, you will typically be speaking to the innkeeper, so it never hurts to ask about specials or discounts
• Make special requests before you arrive. If you have certain food allergies, inform the innkeeper when making reservation
• Inquire about the rules when booking. Some innkeepers prohibit smoking and alcohol on the premises
• Many B & B's don't allow children
• Always tip for excellent service
• Moreover, always remember, while you might be paying to stay at a bed and breakfast, you are still ultimately a guest who should respect the rules of the inn
