HarbourView Inn
The appropriately named HarbourView Inn is nestled in the heart of old Charleston's waterfront. Tastefully appointed in a fashion that mixes tradition with modern style, the hotel prides itself on its hospitality. Complimentary flavored iced teas are offered all day, and every afternoon there is a complimentary wine and cheese reception in the atrium. The art on display throughout the hotel consists entirely of original pieces, and all the furniture is handmade.

Middleton Family Bed and Breakfast
This historic house dates to 1783, and offers plenty of postcolonial charm. It is located in the core of the old historic district of the city. In addition to rooms in the main house, the property's two carriage houses have been converted into accommodations, and these are also available for rent to those seeking a little more privacy.

NotSo Hostel
The hostel offers both dorm bunks and private rooms with bathrooms. It is formed from three separate houses that were erected in the 1840s, making the hostel an enclave of antebellum style, complete with airy porches and comfy hammocks. Free Wi-fi in all rooms, linens, a common guest kitchen and breakfast are included in the price. The bunks in particular were a real bargain for Charleston's city center at $21 per night, and while the private rooms were $60 per night, one is unlikely to find so much character for the same amount of money anywhere else in the city center (2009 prices). Bike rentals are available.
