The Meeting Street Inn

8/10 Good

"The location is excellent!!! We walked to everything on our 3 day stay, except Lewis bbq. The hotel is old, but updated. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast and cocktail hour were better than I expected and we enjoyed the courtyard for that. The staff was helpful and other customers were also friendly. points less favorable: there is a big construction project happening next door. It was not an issue for us(Oct 2026), but might be noisy when construction starts. the elevator nearest the lobby was out of service . Hopefully that’s resolved already."

"The staff were amazing! Ty is always singing, Mercurcio has wonderful tips on where to go for dinner, Angela is so (sweet) helpful, and Yonnie is so knowledgeable about the area. We really appreciated all the help. Having dietary restrictions, having a FULL kitchen was invaluable to my stay! We loved our stay and really hope to be back soon!"
