We had a great stay at Merhaven. It was a very casual, no frills stay. The rooms were comfortable enough, everything we needed was supplied (great coffee, wine glasses and an opener, etc.). We also took advantage of the incredibly beautiful... read more

In town for business, we were looking for a convenient, quiet place to stay. We sure found it in the Merhaven. Of course, since no dining is offered, that category doesn't really apply. The room was light and airy and the amenities delightful.

Great place, close to everything. The outside patio and side yard with fountain is a great place to start and end each and everyday. Parking is off street and only footsteps to the room. Nothing could be more convenient.

If you don't need all the bells and whistles of a hotel, the Merhaven is for you. They have 2 nice and quiet rooms in a convenient location (right off 17, next door to the bank and MUSC). You feel more like a local than a tourist here, and it's... read more

Review Merhaven Bed No Breakfast, Charleston, SC

Photo Album

The front entrance to the Innkeepers home at 16 Halsey Street. The entrance to your Merhaven room is located at the back of the residence, adjacent to the off-street parking.The Jasmine-lined entrance to Merhaven Bed no Breakfast.
The entrance to your room is directly adjacent to the off-street parking area, up a well-lit, short set of stairs. The wooden gates lead you into the beautiful courtyard and lush gardens where guests are always welcome.
A spacious courtyard, ajacent to the innkeepers art studio is a great place to gather with family and friends and share an early morning coffee or a late afternoon glass of wine. Read a book, take a nap, stop and smell the bouganvilla!The Jasmine Room - this spacious room offers 1 Queen Bed and 1 Twin Daybed. A Coffee maker, TV/DVD player, and Iron are available in your room. Refrigerator available in hall. A hairdryer is available in the bathroom.
The Cypress Room - this spacious room offers 1 Queen Bed, 1 Twin Daybed, and 1 Trundle Bed (a pullout located under the Daybed). A Coffee maker, TV/DVD player, and Iron are available in your  room. Refrigerator available in hall. A hairdryer is available in the bathroom.The piazza is located in the lush gardens at Merhaven. Listen to the refreshing sound of an Italian-style fountain and numerous song birds while breathing in the sweet smell of confederate jasmine. Enjoy!
This 30' tall bannana tree grows in the garden at Merhaven. Over 12 species of birds frequent the gardens, and a wide variety of flowers and trees are in bloom year around.Merhaven, while being located in the heart of downtown Charleston, is a mere 20 minutes drive from three distinct, (yet all beautiful) beaches: Isle of Palms, Sulivan's Island, and Folley Beach.
Romantic sunset walks along the historic Battery or along your favorite beach are one of the many reasons so many people return to Charleston and to Merhaven again and again.
