Charleston, SC: Ansonborough Inn

A former warehouse, now a wonderful 

Boutique Inn:  Ansonborough Inn

Located in the historic area of Charleston, SC

  21 Hasell Street, Charleston, SC 29401

                                   

When possible and affordable, I search for unusual places to stay:   a university room, an AirStream                       trailor at the beach, a lodge in Yellowstone or Shenandoah National Park.   

The four star Ansonborough Inn is a lovely surprise.    Dark wood interior leads you to the soaring atrium with glass ceiling.    Today, the hotel is decorated for Christmas and the lights are a lvoely addition to the lobby. 

The Anson Pub is a warm and friendly spot to relax and enjoy a beverage.

The roof top deck has a great view of the city and the waterfront.
In better weather this is a great place to enjoy the sunset.

                    The rooms are extra large with '25 foot ceilings' from 450 to 750 square feet'.   

The room has a Keurig coffe maker, a microwave and refrigerator.   Across the street is a 24hr Harris Teeters grocery store if you wish to supplement the complementary beverages and cookies.

The Inn offers all the amenties:  business center, wifi, fitness center, on-site parking, afternoon wine and cheese reception and an extensive contenental breakfast.

Walk into a base camp in Viet Nam.................

I hear a helicopter landing and an announcement from the watch tower


Visitors to Patriots Point Naval & Maritime Museum outside of Charleston, South Carolina, come to explore the battleships, aircraft on site and interactive displays that can keep you busy for hours.

The USS Yorktown is a massive aircraft carrier that draws large crowds but my visit was to experience the recently opened Viet Nam exhibit.

As most of the crowd rushed across the bridge to see a war ship, I took the small path to the left towards a blue wall.     As you get closer you recognize the display.   There are dog tags representing all the men from South Carolina who gave everything during the war.

The exhibit is an up close opportunity to see and often touch the aircraft and equipment as well as the sounds that soldiers in the field experienced every day.

           A large quonset hut houses displays, a time line of the war and a theater showing video                                                          interviews from  men and women who served.

   Once you exit the 'hut' you are in a recreation of the "US Navy Advanced Tactical Support Base and a US Marine Corps Artillery Firebase during the Tet Offensive, 1968".1

A look into a PX

The medical tent was a sober view of the immediate care prior to a patient evacuated to a hospital 

The exhibit is not a Disney production but the audio as you walk through the tunnel or listen to the sounds of a huey landing in the camp, projects you into the real life experience.

                     The interior was a somber reminder of the pain and death that was part of every day.
