Top Philip Simmons Garden Hotel Reviews

The Francis Marion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So clean and kind and beautiful and wonderfully located! I will definitely be back! "

The Iris Charleston

8/10 Good

"Great room and it is appointed as if you are staying in a sleek apartment. In room coffee, dishwasher, fridge, etc. King offers a bagel shop, restaurants and clubs within a few books. BE ADVISED that the Check in process and parking the car is 100% automated! There is no registration desk with a person behind it. You will need for 4 digit entry code from the hotel in order to get onto the premises. And if you are parking a car on the carousel, you will need the step by step instructions. So for this reason tech savvy folks will succeed and old schoolers may struggle. "

Hampton Inn Charleston-Historic District

2/10 Terrible

"Charged much more than advertised. They didn't mention that it cost $49 a day for the garage. Bill was almost $400 dollars more that advertised for a 3 night stay. I would have stayed somewhere else if I knew that actual price. Web site didn't mention parking costs. Front desk didn't mention it was $49 a day.Will never stay at any Hilton property in the future. Plus breakfast was terrible, even the scrambled eggs were bad."

The Aiken-Rhett House was built for Charleston merchant John Robinson in 1820. A typical Charleston double house, the building consisted of a central hallway with two rooms on either side. The front door was located on the Judith Street side of the house, where the piazza (a Charleston term for a double porch) is now located.

Robinson lived in the Aiken-Rhett House for approximately eight years. When he lost five ships at sea in 1825, he was forced to sell the house to meet his financial obligations. The house became the property of William Aiken, Sr., in 1827.

Aiken, an Irish immigrant who accumulated a large fortune as one of the city's leading merchants, used the house as rental property. When he died suddenly in a carriage accident, his vast holdings were divided between his wife, Henrietta Wyatt, and his only son, William Aiken, Jr.

In 1833, the young William Aiken and his new bride, Harriet Lowndes, decided to make the house their primary residence and began an extensive renovation of the property. Three main changes took place: the front entrance was moved, the first floor was reconfigured, and a large addition was added to the house. They made it, by all accounts, one of the most impressive residences in Charleston.

William Aiken, Jr., ultimately became governor of South Carolina, a member of the U. S. House of Representatives, and one of the state’s largest slaveholders. He was elected governor of South Carolina in 1844 and became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in 1851.

The back lot of the Aiken-Rhett House is where the slaves worked and lived. The two largest buildings were the stable and carriage house and the kitchen and laundry building. The enslaved residents probably took their meals communally in the kitchen.

The slaves slept in rooms arranged dormitory style above the kitchen and stable. Many of the rooms had fireplaces and paint evidence suggests that many of the rooms were painted vibrant colors. The kitchen and laundry appear to have been painted light blue, a common nineteenth-century color for such workspaces. The gothic revival façades added to the buildings illustrate the slave owners' attempt to put the best possible face on urban slavery.

In November 1863, Jefferson Davis visited Charleston for the only time during the Civil War and stayed approximately one week as the Aikens' guest. General P.G.T. Beauregard moved his headquarters to the house, which was out of reach of the heavy Federal bombardment of Charleston, in December.

William Aiken, Jr., died at his summer home in Flat Rock, North Carolina, in 1887. He left his property to his wife and daughter. Harriet Aiken continued to live in the house until her death in 1892. Her daughter, Henrietta, and son-in-law, Major A.B. Rhett, raised their four daughters and one son in the house. Upon Henrietta's death, the house was divided between her children and their heirs. Two sons, I'On Rhett and Andrew Burnet Rhett, Jr., continued to live in the house.
