"It’s okay. I’ve stayed in the past they had a hot breakfast. Not this time only bagels and cereal. Same as before room is ok as far as clean except behind furniture super dirty and dusty. Next time I’ll try a different hotel. Ok stay if you don’t care about breakfast and like a simple room."

We chose this B & B because it was close (20-30 minutes drive) from Tuscan Hills Winery in Effingham, IL...a lovely family owned winery that we wanted to visit. There were many lodging choices but we wanted a B & B for relaxation!

5/5 - Excellent

Nice local people. Helpful with directions and dining recommendations

3/5 - Okay

Small drive through town with not much to offer. Pot hole streets. Just kind of an old almost run-down feel low to barely mid class town

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

There was not a lot to do in Charleston. We traveled out of Charleston everyday of our trip. The dining options was not good either.

4/5 - Good

I feel like EIU is Charleston's biggest attraction. All other surrounding towns are small

My mom now lives in Charleston, she's 92 y.o.. I grew up 15 miles east of Charleston. But I moved away in 1974 and currently live in Mason, OH. I come back to see mom, relatives in the area & high school classmates.
