Indigo Inn

Indigo Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Indigo Inn! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean, cozy, and welcoming everything was. Our room was spotless, and the bed and pillows were so comfortable that we slept great every night. The little extras truly made our stay special. We loved the evening happy hour with wine and cheese, and the cookies and milk served at 8:00 p.m. were such a fun and delicious treat! The continental breakfast each morning was fresh, plentiful, and the perfect way to start our day. The beautiful courtyard was a peaceful place to relax after exploring Charleston, and the location made it easy to walk to so many of the city’s restaurants, shops, and attractions. We highly recommend Indigo Inn to anyone visiting Charleston. It offers the perfect combination of comfort, charm, thoughtful amenities, and Southern hospitality. We would definitely stay here again!"
