Mills House - safe area at night

Thank you all for your advice. We are in SC for 3 nights. The first night will be in Charleston and the next two nights in Myrtle Beach where my daughter lives. I%26#39;ve been lurking on the MB forumm for the past couple of weeks and haven%26#39;t found any hotel there that people rave about like the Mills House in Charleston. With that in mind, I%26#39;m now leaning toward the Mills House for it%26#39;s charm. If it%26#39;s only slightly less convenient and centrally located than the Doubletree, we can definitely handle that. But we plan to be out late at night -assuming we can find a casual lively restaurant/bar on a Monday night. We%26#39;ll stick together, and we wouldn%26#39;t wander off the beaten path at night. So, now I%26#39;m wondering if there%26#39;s any ngihtlife near the Mills House, and if not, would it be safe for 3 women walking back to the Mills House late at night, or would taking a taxi be an option. Thanks again for your advice. I promise to stop asking questions after this.

Pretty much that entire area of downtown is very safe. Trust me, our city government is keenly aware of the %26#39;hands that feed us%26#39; mentality, and the police presence, while not highly visible, is there.



The Mills is not far from the good nightlife, and I wouldn%26#39;t worry at all about your safety.





Y%26#39;all have fun!

relax, it%26#39;s all good at the mills house




Save this posting and look at it after your trip - you%26#39;ll probably giggle. Charleston is a really ';different'; city and if anything you will feel safer here than any tourist destination you%26#39;ve visited - just use common sense.



I LOVE the Mills House. Do try to take the historic tour that leaves from the lobby in the morning. Poogan%26#39;s Porch, which no doubt you%26#39;ve read about, is right across the street as is 82 Queen (which would be my choice for dinner). Don%26#39;t forget a carriage ride and we%26#39;ll see you back here next time because we know you%26#39;ll get just enough of a taste for the city that you%26#39;ll want more! ENJOY!
