The Meeting Street Inn is a mid-range, bed-and-breakfast-style hotel situated in the heart of historic Charleston right across from the popular City Market. Its 56 guest rooms are individually decorated with 19th-century decor that includes canopied four-poster beds and antique furniture, though some areas are in need of TLC, and lack of overhead lighting can make rooms feel dark. Modern amenities include mini-fridges, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi, and some rooms have private furnished balconies. The hotel offers a free hot breakfast daily and a free afternoon manager's reception with wine and cheese. There's also a lovely courtyard with a spacious whirlpool, but there's no full-service restaurant or bar, and few other extra features. For a more intimate property with fresher, traditional decor, consider the Elliott House Inn.
