What guests think
At The Historic General Stanton Inn, guests consistently praise the blend of historic character and renovated comfort, very clean rooms, and warm, welcoming service, while noting an onsite tavern/restaurant many enjoy and a generally convenient location for nearby beaches.
Common drawbacks include a light or inconsistent continental breakfast, limited in room amenities like mini fridges, coffee makers, or TVs, and occasional noise from thin walls. A few guests reported hot water delays or other minor maintenance lapses, and some noted little within walking distance, making a car helpful. You can expect a character-rich, low-fuss stay that works well as a coastal home base.

Great location right in the center of Charleston. The hotel history was very unique. Had a fantastic sleep in the room. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.

The General Stanton Inn is beautifully restored and a historic gem. We loved our room, newly renovated. The restaurant is fantastic as well, and would be worth the visit for that alone.

We celebrated Our 26th anniversary here. We had a cozy room in the old section of the Inn. They have three areas for dining. A larger, pretty dining room, A tiny room in the original building with a large fireplace, historical photos, and small amount of seating. They also have two large chairs by a fire for relaxing with a Cocktail, or coffee and breakfast. We chose this room for dinner. They also have a large bright bar with lots of seating around the bar and a tavern area. After we had dinner, we went to sit at the bar to enjoy some trivia. They had already reserved two seats at the bar for us with champagne ready for toast! All staff was very nice to us. We even won a bottle of wine in the Trivia contest! We loved the General Stanton Inn and will return!

The inn and restaurant were wonderful. I probably had the best hot lobster roll I’ve ever eaten. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. Only issues were we found a dirty sock on the floor in room 6, and when we went downstairs for coffee at 7am, there was no sugar and not enough creamer. Also, before dinner we went outside to sit on the 2nd floor deck, but quickly discovered that the area under the deck is where the smokers hang out. So it was a little unpleasant. All were minor things and won’t deter us from staying and/or eating there again!

Amber and Kevin were both so kind, helpful, and accommodating. Our room was lovely for the hot summer time, A/C worked well and we were very comfortable. Loved the tavern being on site, had great food and drinks. Plus was the spooky stories we were able to share and we absolutely loved having a coffee and learning the history of the place in the shared space. On our last day there was an awesome artisans and vintage market we were able to enjoy!

I was warmly greeted the moment I walked in to check in and was then escorted to my room. The room was immaculate and the bed so comfortable. Not a speck of mold or mildew in the bathroom. Despite the age of the Inn, it was in such nice shape and so well maintained. This Inn is loved by the owners who clearly take pride in it.

Very clean rooms and friendly staff. They've done such a great job preserving this historic landmark. It's a real experience staying there. Funny note - our window kept opening by itself when we slept at night. The room got pretty cold so I told the owner about it and apparently it might have been a ghost. True story.

We had a nice stay at General Stanton. It’s a very cool old Inn with lots of character and was very clean. We checked in after hours so did not interact with any staff except over the phone but the remote check in process was still easy and we had no issues. Was a convenient and affordable stay for a concert in Matunuck.

The hotel was immaculate. My bed was extremely comfortable and the linens were fantastic. There was a snow storm over night and in the morning one of the staff members was working a clearing snow and took the time to come help me clear my car of the ice and snow. Really exceptional and greatly appreciated. I will be back for sure.

Such an interesting place to stay. Make sure to talk to the front desk about the history of the land and building. It was a fun history lesson for our children. We did not have an opportunity to stay in a historic room (as we booked last minute), but the newly updated rooms were fresh, clean, and nice.

Hi, We enjoyed our stay. The room is small, but quaint. My wife suggested a couple of enhancements that would make it easier to get ready for an outing. Adding a mirror in the bedroom area with lighting to allow for makeup and/or add lighting above the mirror in the bathroom. There were a few people sitting outside our window on the patio and talking after 10:00 Friday night. They weren't too loud, but you might consider a policy limiting sitting outside Room 3's window after a certain time. Thx for listening.

I booked this hotel to split up the drive back from Maine to New Jersey. After hours on the road and lots of traffic we made it to the inn just in time for our dinner reservations. It was nice to wind down in the tavern with some wine and delicious food, and then just head right upstairs to a comfy bed and clean room. I would stay here again if in the area, just wish we had more time to explore Charlestown and the beaches.

This was our first time very amazing. Rustic look with a at home feel to it. A restaurant and tavern on premises and good continental breakfast ready by 8am. The staff were helpful and kind. Beach was only 15 mins down the road and a mini mart there houses away very convenient. Definitely planning another stay.

We had a nice stay at General Stanton. It’s a very cool old Inn with lots of character and was very clean. We checked in after hours so did not interact with any staff except over the phone but the remote check in process was still easy and we had no issues. Was a convenient and affordable stay for a concert in Matunuck.

Clean room, good location. Not much within walking distance, but restaurants and the beach were just a short drive. Breakfast was not provided so we found a nice local coffee shop. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Room was beautifully designed and exceptionally clean. I didn't care that there was no tv or phone, but a fridge, a microwave and a decent size garbage pail would be pluses. Also, it would be nice to have a table in the room to be able to sit at with the one chair. Also, a chair outside on the porch area and maybe picnic tables or chairs on the back lawn for the future. Shampoo, soap, conditioner and towels and linens provided were superb. Sheets were soft and comfy, towels were thick and amazingly absorbent. Continental breakfast needs improvement. Bagels werent really bagels and muffins fell apart. No margarine with muffins one day. Coffee was good but no tea. No cream one day was coffee creamers. A simpler, nicer breakfast of good quality or no breakfast is preferable. All in all room was great, quiet, location is excellent- close to ice cream, pizza, mini mart, dunkin donuts, pharmacy and beaches. Would have eaten at the restaurant but no vegetarian or vegan food available so had to give it a pass.

The on site tavern and restaurant earn frequent praise for tasty food and a welcoming vibe. Continental breakfast is available but tends to be light and varies in quality and availability.

The General Stanton Inn is beautifully restored and a historic gem. We loved our room, newly renovated. The restaurant is fantastic as well, and would be worth the visit for that alone.

I booked this hotel to split up the drive back from Maine to New Jersey. After hours on the road and lots of traffic we made it to the inn just in time for our dinner reservations. It was nice to wind down in the tavern with some wine and delicious food, and then just head right upstairs to a comfy bed and clean room. I would stay here again if in the area, just wish we had more time to explore Charlestown and the beaches.

Really nice Inn, and wonderful service from front desk and restaurant crew. The room was clean and spacious and comfy . We were in one of the new rooms, and they have been beautifully appointed. The front office manager brought me on a tour of this super unique and historic property , it was great! Had yummy appetizers and drinks at the bar upon arrival, and a welcome continental breakfast before we left.

The inn and restaurant were wonderful. I probably had the best hot lobster roll I’ve ever eaten. The water pressure in the shower was amazing and the beds were very comfortable. Only issues were we found a dirty sock on the floor in room 6, and when we went downstairs for coffee at 7am, there was no sugar and not enough creamer. Also, before dinner we went outside to sit on the 2nd floor deck, but quickly discovered that the area under the deck is where the smokers hang out. So it was a little unpleasant. All were minor things and won’t deter us from staying and/or eating there again!

The inn was clean and staff was nice. The building is old and creaky so if you’re looking for quiet with little sound coming in this is not the best option. The room had no tv so although the room was clean it had no amenities to offer inside the room. I definitely would stay here again if I had to but I would look for a different option first. I also thought it was a little expensive for a quaint place. For the price I paid most hotels offer a pool , gym, spa . Game room etc.

Gorgeous place and the staff were amazing. I got a tour of the historic building which was really cool. Our only regret was being there on a Monday night when the restaurant was closed but we are already planning a return trip.

The Inn was lovely. The room was small, but authentic and fine. The problem is the food service is very spotty. The restaurant has limited hours and days- no breakfast except on weekends. Also if you have a room on a Monday, most of the day and all night there is no one working at all- you are alone! And on Tuesday when we needed to check out, there was no one working. We had to leave the keys in an unlocked room.
