The Inn is outstanding, and every aspect exceeded our expectations.  The room was beautiful, and cleaner than any hotel room in which we have previously stayed.  The furniture and bedding were very comfortable.  Your staff went out of their way to assist us in every way.  They were all extremely professional, yet warm and friendly.  We can't wait to come visit again.

J & D, S., Hendersonville, NC

The finest room that I have ever had the pleasure to stay in.

I am a travel agent, and my husband and I tend to visit the finer places, and I will definately be recommending the Wentworth to clients friends and family! We thought everything was perfect! The level of service was incredible, and we loved the tea times, and drinks in the early evening...great, great service!

The quality, willingness to help and sincere kindness from the entire staff made the stay more than exceptional and memorable. The staff in Circa 1866 must be mentioned for their splendid service and courtesy and quality breakfast each day.

C & T, S., San Francisco, CA

Working for a 4 diamond AAA resort facility I consider myself very critical of service and this industry.  I would instruct my staff to operate as yours does.  Very pleased, we will be back!  Exceptional and well worth my time and money.

P.H.

I can't recall the room number, but it absolutely exceeded my expectations.  What a lovely, and comfortable room!  I travel around the world, and that has to be one of my favorite rooms to date.

C.R., Beverely Hills, CA


12/20/2011

CIRCA 1886 was Trip Adviser rated #1, and we concur.  Fabulous preparation and presentation. Most delicious meal we had in Charleston. Without exception, every single employee was superb. Our requests were satisfied immediately and thoughtfully.

E & B, S., Livingston NJ


12/7/2011

Oh my goodness- we came to Charleston to get married and chose Wentworth Mansion not only as our hotel accommodation, but also as the location of our ceremony.  We couldn't be happier!!!  We were expecting at least a few increased amenities with the price of our stay, but we certainly didn't expect an amazing breakfast each morning, a refrigerator stocked with complimentary sodas and water, consistently wonderful wine and hors d'oeuvre each afternoon, or the fabulous chocolates we received at turn-down each night! You far exceeded our expectations once again!    

J & K, W., Holton, KS


12/4/2011

Every employee was special and exceptional. Beautiful, well appointed room. As former Innkeepers we know what goes into running an Inn and we were pleased with your accomodations.

L & C, M., Wallingford, VT

This was our second stay at Wentworth Mansion and it was, once again, wonderful. We have reservations in the spring and look forward to being there again.

C.H., Montgomery, AL

Read great comments on the Internet. We had high expectations and you even exceeded them. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We felt at home and pampered.

M.B., Adelphi, MD


10/29/2011

This was our 40th anniversary and my wife was absolutely overwhelmed.
Not for anything I did but because the whole experience that your staff provided was way beyond what we have experienced anywhere in the past. I could not have come up with a better gift for my wife who already has everything a man could buy.
This was an experience that will not be forgotten.

J.S.


10/15/2011

Wonderful and timely service! Staff was thoroughly knowledgeable about dining and tourism options and never failed to make any reservations requested. Breakfast was wonderful and delicious!  Excellent variety on the menu, and it was a hard choice to select an item each morning. 

T & C, W., Reston, VA


10/8/2011

The staff at Wentworth Mansion is just superb and totally efficient. The mansion is just beautiful and beautifully maintained; it was really a top-notch experience. The Wentworth Mansion was a totally rewarding experience!

J.C., Whippany, NJ


10/7/2011

When I pay  just a bit less when I go to a meeting in the really big cities, and get so much less , I consider it an extreme pleasure to have stayed at The Wentworth. Thanks for the arrangements and having us. We felt like family when we were at The Wentworth.
Thanks for everything. Look forward to a return visit.

S.L., Durham, NC


10/6/2011

All the staff were very helpful about restaurants and tours and other special events. The rooms were always sparkling and very attractive. CIRCA 1886 restaurant was quite beautiful and so nicely situated on the property (unobtrusive) as it was the former carriage house. The food was a true delight as is the atmosphere and wonderful service. All in all we had a delightful stay at the mansion.

C.B, Tampa, FL


9/25/2011

WOW!  Fabulous room!!  Extremely comfortable; felt like a king and queen during our stay. CIRCA 1886 was absolutely delicious, and impressive, menu for the wedding reception.  The flavors and balance were exceptional and the wines perfectly complemented the courses. Loved all of the public areas for their beauty, history and relaxation.  Especially enjoyed the walk up to, and around, the cupola. Everyone was incredibly gracious and hospitable,

D.C., San Diego, CA


9/25/2011

We felt the warmth and southern hospitality of Wentworth Mansion from the moment we began ascending the steps to the front door. Before we reached it, the door opened and we were welcomed. Please understand that my hosband prefers a  hotel. Well, he used to as he was completely blown away by your "home". Warm and welcoming. Cozy and quiet. Comfortable and well....perfect. 

G.M., West Chester, PA


8/24/2011

Our stay at the Mansion was the highlight of our vacation and we are so pleased with each and everything about it that we look forward to sharing this experience with dear friends and neighbors so they may choose the loveliest place to stay in Charleston! CIRCA 1886 was one of the best meals either of us ever experienced. Was a highlight of our stay.

J.K., Daytona Beach, FL


8/22/2011

Beautiful and elegant, but not overdone.  The allocation of furniture to create open space in the room is great and creates a very different feel than staying in a hotel like Charleston Place. My wife noted, "everyone seems very genuine and wants to make sure we have a nice time".

H.M.


8/12/2011

Our room was amazing! I expected a light breakfast and I was surprised with the breakfast menu. We ended up cancelling our lunch reservations. I have nothing but praise for the room and the hotel. It was the perfect anniversary treat. We hope to return.

L.D., Atlanta, GA


8/7/2011

Much like staying in a NewPort Mansion. Totally captivating.  It was a shame to leave it for home.... Knowledgeable staff more than willing to offer advice or just pleasantly converse.

M.B., G. Cheshire, CT


8/5/2011

All of the staff, from the front desk to the turndown service make the entire Wentworth Mansion an exceptional experience!

E & A, B., Columbia, SC


7/31/2011

Everyone was welcoming and helpful.  Circa 1886 was one of the best meals we have had!  Nice wine list and excellent service.

D.P., New Britain, CT


7/28/2011

We are from New Orleans and have eaten in many wonderful restaurants.  The food at Circa 1886 was exceptional. You employ a wonderful group of people.  All were friendly and always ready and willing to help us in any way. 

J.B., Convington, LA


7/28/2011

This was our fourth stay at the Wentworth... absolutely delightful!

D.G.


7/20/2011

This is the first room I have stayed in that offered free bottle water and other soft drinks. That was a huge selling point. I also was blown over by the free port and sherry available. I have stayed at 5 star hotels around the world and usually you get sticker shock where you are charged $5 for a bottle of water, etc. No way would they offer free alcohol! These little touches made this one of my most memorable hotels.

M.B.


7/18/2011

For what it is worth, we are local, and we did a "staycation" in Charleston for our 10th wedding anniversary.  We also stayed at the Market Pavilion Hotel one night also, and I thought the Wentworth mansion was all around the better deal.  I liked the old style Inn versus the mass luxury hotel.  The Tiffany stained glass put me over the edge though.  What a treasure.

M.L.


7/15/2011

The staff were all so wonderful and  took care of all of our needs. You should be Number 1 on Trip Advisor.

E.D., Orlando, FL


7/15/2011

Circa 1886 provided excellent service and delicious dishes--we loved it so much that we dined there two out of the three nights of our stay. Afternoon iced tea and lemonade and evening wine and appetizers were refreshing treats. Beautiful, spacious room, excellent service, and delicious complimentary breakfast each morning.

Mr & Mrs, D.P., New York, NY


7/11/2011

We can't say enough about how wonderful & helpful everyone was!  All the extra's...ice water at door, wine, rolls in morning and absolutely delicious breakfast in the morning was icing on the cake.  We will be back and will stay longer to really enjoy Charleston!

P & K, C., Salinas, CA


7/8/2011

Warm hospitality and exceptional service characterized all the staff members I encountered during my stay. Room 13 was at once majestic and inviting.  It vies among a very short list of exceptional rooms as one of my favorite lodgings.  The ample, modern bathroom alongside the traditional bedroom enhanced comfort.
 
S.K., Indianapolis, IN


7/3/2011

The most beautiful room room husband and I have ever seen...every detail was so beautiful. Staff always smiling, very courteous, seemed very proud of the Inn.

S.S, Toronto, Ont


7/1/2011

On our travels back home, we stayed in Richmond, VA at The Jefferson Hotel.  This is a 5 star property, but in reality, cannot even compare to the fantastic services, accomodations, and personal touches that your facility provided us.  We will cherish the time we spent at your Inn and the staff that we were so delighted to meet.

We had a fantastic time staying at the Wentworth Mansion! We will definitely recommend it to friends/family staying in the area. Thank you!

J.S.


6/12/2011

The most beautiful room we have ever stayed in.  When Tim took us inside, we both thought he was just showing us one of the nicer suites before taking us to our room. But no, it was our room! We couldn't believe how large and luxurious it was!

L.O., Brentwood, TN


6/5/2011

I travel a lot and thr staffs helpfullness and incredible customer service were the best I have seen.

M.E.


6/1/2011

The Circa 1886 restaurant at the Wentworth Mansion was recommended....our dinner was the highlight of our whole vacation. As a former restaurateur, I thought Chef Collins menu was exceptionally great...will be framing it for my menu collection. We tried the antelope loin for main course, and 65o egg as appetizer.  Chocolate souffle was spectacular.

K.S.


5/31/2011

Although our time was limited, and we wanted to experience many dining experiences in wonderful Charleston, once we had dinner @ Circa 1886, we HAD to have another dinner there before we left.  It was incredible.  Thank you

K.R., Lake Bluff, Illinois


5/30/2011

The bottom line is that your probably the best small trip stay we have ever had in our 10 years of marriage.  Your accommodations properly honored our 10th anniversary.  If I have the chance, we will be staying at your mansion again.

G.M., Hope Mills, NC


5/30/2011

All employees and staff went above and beyond to make our stay a memorable anniversary.  Everyone to a person was supurb! We  would stay no where else in Charleston!

We have not stopped talking about the exemplary service we received during our stay.  We came for our Honeymoon and it was everything we dreamed or could have hoped for.  We have every intention on visiting again. 

Mr.& Mrs. R.M., Laurinburg, NC


5/21/2011

Every thing was immaculate. Room and bathroom gorgeous. I was worried it would be musty as old places can be. This was modern updated amenities in an elegant old setting. We loved it.

Noreen Marchant-Inn keeper was unbelievable! The entire staff was attentive, friendly, caring , knowledgeable about area...just made the entire Wentworth Experience perfect. Her staff were so welcoming always but especially during the lovely cocktail hour each evening. The concierge desk was amazing....Douglas, Kenneth and Christian were all instrumental in making our visit wonderful.

I would never come to Charleston that I did not stay at the Mansion.

P.M., Waco, TX


4/10/2011

The entire staff is fabulous: helpful, courteous, warm, interesting.  To a person, they are probably  the best I have ever experienced.  Perfect!!!  I could not be happier with the hotel.  While there, I told several friends how wonderful Charleston is and encouraged a stay at the hotel.

S.M., Pullman, WA


4/1/2011

We honestly have had the most wonderful time. The only complaint is that we didn't stay longer. Was one of the most wonderful things I have done. Way on the top of my best experiences list. We will return.

J & M, M.,Mount Airy, MD

Everyone could not have been more pleasant and welcoming. This was our second stay and we will be back.

S.D., Libetyville, IL

Outstanding food, service, atmosphere at Circa 1886. Many hotels do not live up to expectations.  The Wentworth Mansion certainly does.  We were very pleased with our room.

“The Perfect Romantic Getaway”

My husband and I stayed her for a weekend getaway and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The room was cozy and gorgeous, including a large jacuzzi tub (husband loooved that) and an awesome fireplace. We had massages at the spa and were in absolute heaven. Along with courtesy breakfast at the Circa 1886 restaurant with full service and awesome food. The mansion is in a neighborhood district so its calm and quiet, yet only a 3-5 minute walk to King Street and all the downtown action. Overall, it was an amazing weekend and we can't wait to come back!

Charleston, SC

This will be a recurring theme-EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL AND WE CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN!!!  One of the enjoyable memories in my life.

R.N., South Orange, NJ


3/7/2011

As a former innkeeper, your staff go beyond making guests feel welcomed and comfortable.
Very quiet which can be a trick in a downtown environment in an older building but we were very pleased. Cannot imagine how you could improve your beautiful, historic inn. It is lovely.

A.M.

 


2/28/2011

Everyone was fantastic to deal with, considerate and helpful and so charming. Loved the rooms, great feeling to them, loved the bedding and modernized bathrooms,  beautifully maintained. Breakfast was amazing and abundant and so nice and easy, loved everything about it. Best place to stay in Charleston.

E.B.


2/27/2011

The room was exceptional.  We spent more time in the room because of it's comfort and amenities. The Mansion was like being on a Luxury Cruise with a much better room!!  Anything we needed or wanted was promptly provided.  

C.B., Bluffton, SC


2/24/2011

What a place!  I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else after our experience at the Wentworth Mansion. I can guarantee that we will stay with you again and again!

Z & C, P., Wilmington, NC


2/21/2011

I was in awe when we opened our door to the room. It was perfect!!! The beautifully decorated room, a fireplace (that came on with the flip of a switch, the music playing as we entered our room, the whirlpool tub....it was a dream come true kinda weekend.

 K.W., Birmingham, AL


2/1/2011

Every single individual in Guest Services was exceedingly gracious, warm and welcoming.  They handled all of our needs efficiently and well and, anticipated our every need.  They are all, individually and collectively, over the top, Fabulous! We absolutely loved our guest room!  ... there were days we didn't want to leave.

J.B., Smithfield, RI


1/30/2011

This is our favorite small hotel and we have stayed on numerous occasions. We love it and I guess already have high expectations that are consistantly met.

H & C, H. Spartanburg, SC


1/30/2011

All the staff is incredibly informative, helpful and extremely pleasant.  They make every day a great experience at Wentworth.  It is especially kind that staff always makes a point to inquire about the quality of the guest's day activities in town or about the evening meal.  We recognize how busy they are and deeply appreciate their genuine interest in the individual plans of guests.

P & B, H., Arden, NC


1/2/2011

I have a rave review for the hotel and the ENTIRE staff. The hotel was the finest that I have ever stayed in and my husband and I have traveled quite a bit.  The mansion itself has been restored to perfection and every detail in our room for comfort was provided.     I not only give it a five star review but will assure you that we will be back to stay in the future.  Thank you for your hospitality.

W.W., Wayne, IL


12/23/2010

Truly unique experience in both the accomodations, history, professional/experienced staff who were very accomodating, and very central to the historical arena of Charleston.

R.C.


12/22/2010

Everything was perfect. It was a great way to spend our 40th anniversary.  The bottle of champagne was over the top.  We will definitely be staying with you again probably January, 2011.  Thanks again for a great time.

Truly a gem within our lovely city of Charleston.  My husband and I had a wonderful stay and have encouraged all of our friends to stay here as well!  We have eaten at Circa 1886 many times and love the food and atmosphere.

A.B., Johns Island, SC

I look forward to our next visit.  There's not another inn in Charleston where I would prefer to stay when my wife and I are in town.

W.S., Columbia, SC


11/13/2010

Each & every employee provides excellent service. You do an excellent job in training them. Breakfast was absolutely wonderful and the best that we have ever been served at any B&B over the years and we have stayed at many. Oh My Gosh! Your chef at Circa 1886 is tops. Now if he just could fly up to Maine each evening and prepare our meals, We ate dinner there ALL 3 evenings and each meal was a work of art.

Mr. & Mrs. J. G., Foreside, Me


11/12/2010

Staying in a historic mansion could seem a bit old or dark but the mansion is so well maintained that it feels like we were staying in a new hotel.All of the staff were wonderful and helpful.  We have stayed in the finest hotels in the U.S. and Europe.  Our experience at the Wentworth Mansion far exceeded them all.  Someone called us the day or two before we were to arrive to ask if we needed anything in planning our trip.  Another person sent us links to tours we requested.  Just wonderful!!

M, M & O Scott


11/8/2010

We found all of the staff to be extremely attentive and courteous and had nothing but excellent interactions with each.  It was a wonderful stay. Can't wait to recommend you to others.

11/1/2010

Wow! What a great time we had with you this weekend. Everyone was so nice, and the inn is just beautiful.. Dinner was amazing.. We come to Charleston from Columbia several times a year and have been staying at another inn...no more...We loved it at Wentworth and will be back often! Thanks for everything.

B & T, S., Columbia, SC


10/24/2010

As our stay was for a special event (25th anniversary) I truly hoped that the Wentworth would be the right choice. It most certainly was! The facility is magnificent but, more importantly, the staff made our stay memorable. I have heaped high praise to everyone I know regarding the Wentworth. Thank you so much for your hospitality! My wife and I had such a wonderful time!

G.D., Newton, PA


10/23/2010

You score a ten in our minds.  We can not wait to return.  Our friends will know about Wentworth Mansion. Dinner was wonderful and we thought the 3 course prix fixe dinner was great. 

C.E.

 


10/14/2010

The room had southern charm and plenty of history, just what we were looking for. You have an amazing staff that compliments your hotel beyond belief.  A truly amazing place to stay!

K & J, W., Pinehurst, NC.


9/23/2010

We travel often and our visit with you was equal to The Point, Where we went two years Ago.  They have been sold, so I guess that you guys are #1 in the US from out point of view

H.F., Manasquan, N.J.


9/20/2010

I called directly to the location and spoke with the staff on site (Christian I believe)and he was very courteous and helpful. I called 3 other competitors the same day. I choose Wentworth Mansion because of the staff's professionalism and willingness to accommodate my request as this was my 1st anniversary. I was greeted with smiles and welcomes upon my arrival. I can't wait to come back! 

L & L, B., Conyers, GA


9/20/2010

All of the staff (Restaurant, Inn and Spa) that worked on Labor Day weekend provided exceptional service.  We arrived on Friday and checked out on Monday and everyone morning and night went out of their way to make our stay an enjoyable one.

R & P, R., Johns Island, SC


9/6/2010

Wonderful staff. The gentleman who greeted us upon our arrival was incredibly attentive and courteous. He was our first impression and he really made us feel welcome and happy we chose Wentworth.

M. W., Scottsville, KY


9/4/2010

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in, and we both travel extensively for business. I chose the hotel because of the pictures online, room amenities, the restaurant, the free parking, and proximity to CofC. Price was reasonable for the beauty of the house - it is well maintained and the extras (coffee, snacks, etc.) were greatly appreciated. Thank you for the stay... I feel totally rejuvinated!

I Can't say enough about how great this restaurant is. The cooking, service, and wine list were outstanding. Absolutely loved it. Will go again whenever we're in town.

A.K.


8/20/2010

All employees provided exceptional service! They could not have been friendlier, more helpful or accommodating.

8/13/2010

We eat out a lot. Circa 1886 was one of the best restaurants we have ever been to.

M.C., Loveland,OH 


8/8/2010

The Wentworth Mansion is the place I want to come to in Charleston.I look forward to happy hour, dinner and breakfast. It was too long since I had shrimp and grits for breakfast! The amenities are perfect and the guests are always fun to meet as such interesting people stay there. My only complaint is that I couldn't stay longer.I would not stay anywhere else in town.


7/22/2010

By far the best lodging experience we have ever had!!!

R.L., LaGrange, GA


7/16/2010

Our first impression of the hotel was that we were being invited to stay with friends in a private residence. Beverly did a great job of making me feel like I was the only guest in the hotel and made time to answer all my questions. The front desk exceeded all expectations by attending to our family's needs during the whole week of our stay. They always went above and beyound to accomodate us. Housekeeping was exceptional. We had our children with us and the room was a challenge for housekeeping I am sure, but they were very accomodating.  The value for the price paid was incredible. If we had stayed at a less expensive hotel, we would have had to pay for all the other services the the Wentworth provided complimentary. We loved the experience.

B.S., Lafayette, LA


7/16/2010

We were treated as if we were family members from the first moment we arrived. By the time we checked out, we really did feel as if we were leaving family.  In fact, we loved our experience so much that we extended our stay by one night.

We stayed at Wentworth to celebrate our 13th  anniversary, and our expectations were exceeded by far.  On our first evening, we returned from walking downtown to find our room lit by candles and chilled champagne waiting for us.  We were completely shocked and impressed.  The staff is more than top-notch in every regard.  Everything we experienced at Wentworth exceeded our expectations.  The property itself is not only unique, but it is a very warm, welcoming home.  And the staff makes everything even more special.  We thoroughly love Wentworth and will stay again.  In fact, we hope to make staying there our anniversary tradition.

P & B, H, Arden, NC

We have been to many hotels, some Small Luxury Hotel properties, and this was the nicest room we had ever had. M.H., Fairfax, Virginia


6/25/2010

The staff handled all our special requests with grace and efficiency. All the special touches we requested were executed perfectly. The parking lot is a major plus in Charleston.
We live in Charleston and the Inn has a sterling rep.

Charleston, SC 

 


6/7/2010

Our greeting went beyond courteous and efficient. Entering the mansion for the first time is part of the experience. The staff was nothing short of professional, yet down home.  My wife enjoyed a facial at the spa. She said the friendliness and professionalism at the spa was the same as everything associated with the Wentworth Mansion.

The food and the service was above our expectations!

D & A, S., Marion, NC 


6/2/2010

Front desk personnel were all fantastic. I really felt as though we were being welcomed by family or good friends. The tour of the house was excellent. You can tell that everyone really felt a part of the Wentworth family and we as well. The wait staff was excellent. Every meal was outstanding. Rice pancakes and rabbit sausage stood out. Coffee cups kept full, food always hot and flowers in the dining area outstanding. Everyone greeted us with such friendliness that I was very sad to have to leave Sunday morning. I was very surprised when my husband booked the Wentworth House for our anniversary weekend. It truly was worth the price as our memories will last forever.

"The most AMAZING Place"

I have traveled to Charleston many times and have stayed at a lot of the fine hotels. On this trip I tried someplace I had never stayed because this trip was for my anniversary - so it had a lot to live up to... and boy did it. From the moment we checked in to the final minutes there I can't rave enough about Wentworth and the staff.  

The Food... Breakfast was not to be believed - incredible (Kyle was great - gave us lots of ideas of things to do) so was Miss Bessy. (They all were really). We had dinner at Circa and it was very good. Happy hour food was incredible not just wine and cheese.

The Staff... I can't praise them enough. 5 star. On our anniversary night we came back to our room to find a very special surprise - chocolate covered strawberries, champagne, candles around the room, the fireplace on and a very sweet anniversary card.  Did I mentioned we asked for none of this! There was not one weak link - incredible staff.  The best part to me is - they were there when we needed them and not when we wanted our space.

Over all - there is no place better in Charleston. Couldn't be happier - I will be back as soon as I can!

Our dinner at Circa 1886 was one of the best meals I have ever had.  The presentation was beautiful and the food was wonderful.

Wow! We are spoiled. The peanuts, soda, and water was a nice touch, as was the coffee, wine and appetizers, and after dinner drinks.  The full breakfast was amazing. Didn't want to go home.

If you are coming to Charleston, you have to stay at the Wentworth Mansion. My wife and I were supposed to travel to Paris for our 30th anniversary, but the volcano made short work of those plans. AirFrance cancelled on the morning we were to leave, so it didn’t leave much time for Plan B. I called the Wentworth Mansion and spoke with Tim, explaining our predicament. Despite the short notice, we were able to book a room for the next four days, arriving less than 24 hours from making the reservation. We arrived (from New England) and were greeted by an extremely pleasant concierge (Robert) and a friendly bellman, Skyler. We went out to dinner and returned to our room; unbeknownst to us (I wish I had thought of it) Robert and Skyler, knowing from Tim that this was our anniversary, had arranged for a bottle of Champagne on the mantle, candles throughout the room, and romantic music. What a pleasant surprise, and that attention to detail continued for our entire stay. All the staff were unbelievably helpful; Scott and Kenneth, the other concierges, and the other bellmen, continued to provide exceptional service. The food and drink in the afternoon, the breakfasts at Circa 1886 every morning, the gorgeous surroundings, and most importantly the wonderful staff, make the Wentworth Mansion the only choice for an exceptional hotel in Charleston. Plan B turned into Plan A+, and our stay at the Wentworth (which we extended) will forever make our 30th anniversary the most memorable to date. Thank you Tim, Skyler, Robert, Scott, Kenneth and Noreen for a fantastic visit. We will be back again.

We stayed for 10 days and loved the mansion as well as Charleston...its is my new favorite place. Your staff is one that I have never encountered before at any other bed and breakfast, hotel or otherwise...you should be really proud of that! It felt like we were coming home everyday!

Our stay at Wentworth Mansion was extremely enjoyable. The facilities and the staff are exceptional. We are recommending the Wentworth Mansion to our friends. We are looking forward to returning. Circa 1886 is the best restaurant in Charleston. The food is outstanding and the ambiance and service are excellent. Thank you for a terrific mini-vacation.

“Faultless”
 
Came down after 3 days in NY and this place was fabulous. Couldn't find a thing wrong. Hotel is charming beyond words, the staff were warm and friendly without being overbearing. This is the sort of hotel you'd come to regardless where it was, just to stay. We were sorry to leave. Oh, and Charleston is great fun. If you come here, stay at this hotel, you will love it!

“Perfection in Charleston”

From the moment we arrived until we left four days later it felt as if we were at home. The staff was very friendly and helpful with out being obtrusive. We had room 17....an amazing space with a fireplace, lovely views, well appointed bathroom....just perfect. We can not say enough about Circa 1886. We had the best dinner there of any restaurant (all high end) in Charleston. The chef is very innovative and he could make fried catfish any day of the week for me!  We also liked the quiet of the neighborhood, again it gave us a feeling of being at home and not amid the bustle of a city, which was just a few short blocks away. We can not wait to return and would highly recommend the Wentworth Mansion to anyone visiting Charleston....a true value for all that one receives.

Staying here was, in retrospect, the highlight of our trip. By the second night, we remarked that we felt that we were returning 'home' instead to a hotel. The rest of our trip was at the Kiawah Resort, which definitely felt like a hotel. We missed Wentworth!

We will recommend the Wentworth aggressively to our friends!

Everything was handled with grace! 

Once we checked in, the entire staff behaved as if they knew us. The room was beautiful and spacious.  The bed and bath were both very luxurious.  Dinner was exquisite.  This was truly one of the very best meals that I have ever had.  The food was unique and very flavorful.  Hopefully all your guests enjoy at least one dinner in Circa 1886. It was a joy to come back after dinner to a clean room, a box of chocolates, a rose, and music softly playing.  At first, I thought the published rates were pricey, but the value of what you get is extraordinary.  I have already described the atmosphere and services to a number of people.  I will be back!

Considered staying at other hotels in Charleston before settling on Wentworth - Charleston Place, Planters Inn, Vendue Inn, Market Pavilion, and French Quarter Inn.  All were comparably priced, but the fact that our rate came with breakfast at Circa and free parking 4 blocks away from King Street really made it worthwhile.

We splurged a little to come here since it was our honeymoon. However, we have not once regretted how much we paid. I feel that for what we received, the price was very fair. I have never received the type of attention any place else I have stayed.

There are no words to describe the grand mansion suite.  Probably the most spectacular place I will ever have the privelage of staying in for the rest of my life.  Our room was perfect.  Clean, beautiful,comfortable.  The candlelight and champagne on our wedding night made
the evening a dream come true!

We have stayed in many 5 star hotels and Inns. We don't get the chance to get away often, but when we do, we want to be pampered. The Wentworth far exceeded our expectations. From the first contact with Jennifer to the early morning checkout on Sunday we were treated very professionally, promptly, and with an attitude of "what else can we do."

WHILE IT'S HARD TO SAY $400 FOR A NIGHT IN AN INN IS A VALUE,I CAN CERTAINLY DO SO REGARDING YOUR INN.

Each and every person on your staff made us feel welcome.  We are locals and often look for an upscale inn in Charleston to spend an "unwind" weekend together.  Wentworth Mansion, Jennifer, and the entire staff ensured we'd found a gem.  We will certainly return!

OUR STAY AT THE WENTWORTH MANSION WAS WONDERFUL! From the time we walked in to the time we left our experience at Wentworth was one which will be remembered forever. From the warm welcome greeting to the beautiful room and not to forget the spectacular view along with the fabulous dining experience at Circa 1886. My new fieance and I now call Charleston a special place. We look foward to visiting again sometime in the near future.
