"In summer or early fall, Charleston's renowned bed-and-breakfasts are pricey and my be booked solid. But there are hidden gems. The Cottage Room at Palmer's Pinckney Inn, just off East Bay Street near the old market, can be had for $150 a night on the weekends and $135 midweek. For an additional $5, you can have a hot breakfast at the majestic Palmer Home Bed and Breakfast and access to its pool and its broad porch overlooking Charleston Harbor."

Hurricane Policy
We understand and respect the concern and apprehension that may arise from an approaching hurricane.

Guests residing at the inn may choose to evacuate. In this case, we will charge only for those nights spent with us up to the time of the evacuation.
For those guests with pending arrivals, we would retain the deposit and credit it to a future stay.
If there is NO hurricane advisory or warning for the Charleston, SC area (i.e. there is not an imminent threat): For vacation to be cancelled because a hurricane "might" make landfall near Downtown Charleston or that there "might" be an aftermath, deposits will NOT be refunded and will NOT be credited to a future stay.
If a hurricane has made landfall and The Palmer Home (or downtown Charleston) is not "fit" for guests: For guests with pending reservations affected by such a situation, we would retain the deposit and apply it to a future stay.
