To our delight, the King George is close to all points of interest and provides a nice relaxing retreat in the evening. Innkeepers Terry and Debra treated us like family and went out of their way to accommodate our breakfast wishes and make us feel special. Mom wanted poached eggs on the first day, no problem. The second morning the poached eggs were already prepared. Our last evening, Debra was making holiday cookies. Knowing we were leaving early in the morning and would miss the planned display, Terry brought us a plate full. Innkeepers assistant Debbie was equally accommodating and helpful. What a terrific team! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398032 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398031 We recently spent a week at the King George IV and were pleasantly surprised with everything. The room was large with a comfortable sitting room and a small deck so that we could sit outside. We didn't bother to put the card on our door to have the room cleaned every day but to our surprise, it was done anyway and when we left a bottle of wine on the table, we found that they had left wine glasses for us when we came back in the afternoon. The proprietor was really friendly and helpful and the breakfast was relaxing with lots of choice. The best feature was the fabulous location. Right downtown, just steps to great resaurants and stores so that we didn't have to take the car except to visit plantations. Occasionally a little noisy outside in the morning but very likely hard to avoid when staying downtown and worth the convenience. Will definitely visit again and hope that other B&B's that we visit will measure up. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398031 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398030 Spur of the moment trip to Charleston with no kids and no reservations was made memorable by my stay at the King George IV Inn. I lucked into a two-night, mid-week availability at a fantastic and I mean fantastic rate. Upon arrival, Owner Terry immediately made room for my car in his own spot in the very full rear parking lot, with a smile and while unloading the day's marketing. Miss Debbie swiftly checked me in and offered some really good dining recommendations and maps to find them. As a single female traveler, I was delighted by the very personal attention I received at the King George. Miss Debbie's recommendations were spot on. Justine's was delicious, the red rice was pretty close to my Grandmother's. As beautiful a city as Charleston is, in July one should expect high heat and humidity. Blessed relief was found in Room 4. My window unit a/c cooled both rooms very well and I made good use of my private bath! The shower had plenty of water pressure. I enjoyed chatting with Terry and Debbie, learning about the work put into renovating this lovely B&B over the years. Family pic's are scattered about and your every need is anticipated. Shared a cheery breakfast with Terry and another guest family, got my bearings and headed over to King Street for a little early shopping. Back to the King George to drop off packages and yet another shower before wandering all over town. Tried lunch at the rooftop bar pool at the Market Pavillion Hotel for great views, wonderful breezes and substantial portions...less expensive than their downstairs Grill 225. Again, thank you Debbie! More walking, shopping and tons of photos later and I was ready to shower and chill out on my private porch with a good summer reading paperback. The honor snack bar was a saving grace on night #2 when I headed out too late for dinner. A little fridge, a TV and a comfy couch in the sitting room made me feel right at home. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398030 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398029 nice and helpful housekeepers beautiful room short walk to downtown http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398029 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398028 My husband and I recently stayed at the King George IV Inn-it was our first trip to Charleston and our first time staying at a bed and breakfast. What can I say? Everything exceeded our expectations! Terry and his wife were wonderful innkeepers! Terry was so helpful with helping us choose restaurants/tours/shopping areas, etc. He made breakfast each morning and there was always someone in the kitchen to chat with. There were always cookies/beverages available throughout the day/evening time and also a snack and beverage section that was 50 cents an item...very reasonable compared to the prices in the shopping areas of Charleston! Our room was BEAUTIFUL and so much more than we could have expected! It was almost TOO cold temperature-wise, which was something my husband and I appreciated after a long day of being in the sun and heat. We did receive a 10% discount for being in the military, which was extremely nice of Terry and his wife! The King George is in a great location for walking all over Charleston...we never once had to use our car to go anywhere, which was so nice! Overall, we had an AMAZING time and wish we could have stayed longer...amazing rooms, great breakfast, wonderful innkeepers! What more could you ask for? http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398028 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398027 Beautiful rooms, antiques, quaint. Nice porches. Great four poster beds, fireplaces. Liked having a mini fridge in the room for a bottle of wine, etc. Great location. Parking in the courtyard was a little tight. The innkeepers had a lady by the name of Debbie working there. She was great, warm, friendly, helpful with advice on sights. She was the opposite of Terry and Deborah (the innkeepers). Also, for 50 cents (honor system) you could get chilled bottles of spring water prior to your daily excursions. (Bottle of spring water in downtown charleston store is nearly 2 dollars!). Drawbacks: Terry was somewhat aloof and reserved. Wife (Deborah) was practically non-existent. What little we saw of her, she was aloof, perhaps a quick hello, (minimal eyecontact) but that's about it. Don't expect any warmness from the innkeepers. Breakfast room is nice, clean, but the "check-in" area is here too, so it is a little crowded. Plus, they have a grape decorating motif (grape vine wallpaper/fake grape vines/plastic tablecloths) which conflicted greatly with the historic, tastefully done rest of the house. Finally, the breakfast... what can I say? On the good side, they had biscuits with gravy/sausage, which was good. Always fresh fruit. Good coffee, tea selection, cookies, etc.. Also, homemade quick breads (pineapple bread, cranberry bread, raisin bread, etc...) Occassionally scrambled eggs and grits. On the bad side, FROZEN eggo-style waffles. Quite surprising. Frozen waffles appeared every day, with maple-flavored syrup. (No whipped cream). Frozen waffles in a b&b? For the price of this room? I could have gone to Denny's for better waffles. Also, once, the quickbread was burned (crust on top was black). One of the few times Terry talked was to tell us to cut the burnt crust off. Very surprising. They definitely need help on their breakfast; the innkeepers personality could use a little more warmness too. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398027 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398026 My boyfriend and I stayed at King George IV this past weekend for our first trip to Charleston, SC and were looking for a comfortable and affordable bed and breakfast. King George turned out to be the perfect choice. It is conveniently located in the historic district, the rooms are clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and the food was good. The breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs and a rotation of either grits, biscuits/gravy and bacon. There was fruit, toast and cereal as well. The kitchen is always open to guests of the B&B so you can have tea and cookies at any time of the day or night! We stayed in room 7, which is one of two rooms that does not have a private bath (7 & 8 share a bath) but the room had an in-room sink and was adorable just the same. We were not disappointed with our choice and the owners were friendly and helpful as well, ensuring that we had a parking spot in their yard and maps to walk around town. If we ever go back to Charleston, we would be sure to stay there again. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398026 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r463337 Great location and good value but falls short for the following reasons. Communal dining area is very small and certainly can't be considered a dining room. Our room (number 4) was adequate as to space but please provide a step stool for the bed for those of s who are "vertically challenged".I expressed that shortcoming on the 1st morning and was told it was a problem finding something that wouldn't slip on the wood floor. Hello! Have you heard of Velcro? The most disappointing was the shower. Hot/cold, no matter what if the adjoining room was in the loo at the same time. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r463337 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398025 I shouldn't tell you what a great place this is because when I want to visit again it MIGHT be booked. Me and my wife visited last weekend and really enjoyed the place. The location, owners and manager were all top notch. From meeting us at the door, talking during breakfast and saying goodbye we felt at home. They recommended GREAT restaurants around town and just talked family with them...SUPER NICE Stay here with confidence and enjoy Terry's homemade bread. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r398025 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r463338 This Bed and Breakfast has lovely rooms with beautiful decor, breezy piazzas, and wonderful breakfast. What more could you ask for? It's in a great location within walking distance to everything in downtown Charleston. The hostess was very helpful and friendly. We had a great time and can't wait to return! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/King_George_IV_Inn/r463338
