 | | The rooftop terrace cafe at the Andrew Pinkney Inn is where continental breakfast of gourmet coffee, muffins and pastry or fresh fruit is served. The café, lined with topiary trees and blooming window boxes, offers a lovely view of the city and the water and a fine diamondting point to begin one's day whether in town for business or pleasure. A business traveler will be well equipped at the Pinkney, which has a state of the art business center and free wireless Internet service. There is also meeting space and business hospitality available at the inn.
Leisure travelers will be equally pleased that the inn is located only steps away from Meeting Street, Market Street, the waterfront and all the action on East Bay Street yet with the quiet, side street location of the inn, street noise and traffic sounds will not interfere with a sound night's rest. Since one can walk to many of the sites of the city, the parking garage right next door to the inn is also a handy addition to the list of conveniences enjoyed by guests of the inn. The restaurant guide offered by the inn has complete menus of all the area restaurants so one can select a restaurant and time their reservation so he or she assured of a pleasant dining experience.
The comfortable decor and extra amenities in the rooms and suites make the Andrew Pinkney Inn an excellent value. Fastidious maintenance, improvements and upgrades are also commendable facets to the Pinkney personality but it's the down-to-earth, outgoing, friendly management and staff attention to the minute details and guest's needs that earn the Andrew Pinkney Inn a 3-diamond **** rating.

The Andrew Pinkney Inn maintains the quaint looking exterior with a hint of wrought iron and some eye-catching window boxes, bursting with a variety of blossoms and a riot of color. When one enters the lobby, the greeting is warm and the fragrance of coffee and cookies, that are served all day, entices further investigation. Perhaps it is those scents that I associate with my grandmother's kitchen that immediately made me feel comfortable but it was the friendly and welcoming staff that sold me on the "attitude" of the Inn. The impressive three-story atrium ceiling and travertine flooring in the fire-placed lobby hints at the treat one might expect in taking a room at the Pinkney Inn, but ease with which the staff at the Pinkney Inn offers solicitous service that makes their guests feel comfortable and truly at home in the boutique style inn.
