Nothing is closer than The Book & the Spindle Bed & Breakfast just across the street from Tillman Hall. We really enjoyed our 2 night stay and Pam Bowen, the Proprietor, was a very gracious host. There are 4 rooms and we stayed in the Glencairn Room. Slight drawbacks: no internet service and the shower is really small in this room. The room was nice and the bed was comfortable. A delicious breakfast was served each morning in our room. The rate was very reasonable at just under $80 per night. Again the location was convenient for access to all of the Rock Hill area and especially Winthrop.

We are right across the street from Winthrop University and a short walk from great restaurants, a brewery, and local shopping.

Janice and Mike, the proprietors, are all smiles and kindness and do all those little things to make sure you feel right at home. There are several rooms upstairs, nice kitchen/dining area and large common room, but my absolute favorite is the verandah. It's so lovely just to sit and soak up the sunshine out there. In terms of location, it's pretty far from Charlotte, but deceptively close to Rock Hill. If you're looking for a weekend getaway that really is a getaway, check out Harmony House. True to its name, it's a peaceful B&B that you'll love!

I cannot say enough good things about The Ballantyne!…read more The property itself is absolutely beautiful, with plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to relax, unwind, and enjoy the surroundings. The staff was consistently friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout my stay. They were quick to assist with any questions or requests, which made the experience even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the Gallery Restaurant. The breakfast served there each morning was phenomenal! The outdoor pool was also a highlight as it was relaxing, comfortable, and very well maintained. The service staff frequently checked in with guests, ensuring everyone had what they needed without being intrusive. My only real criticism is the parking fee. The hotel charges $20 per night for parking, which feels unnecessary given the already high nightly room rates. I believe parking should be included as part of the stay, especially at a property of this caliber. Overall, I had a fantastic stay and would gladly return.

TL;DR: Beds not good, parking pain to depart, check in long wait. Positives indoor pool, afternoon…read moretea, gallery restaurant and spa. Not planning on returning unless for tea or brunch at gallery. I've now stayed here twice within 10 months. Both times I've found the staff quite kind and helpful. The rooms clean and as depicted. Hotel and grounds very well maintained. Love the walkability to restaurants and bars. Room Beds are not up to a luxury hotel standards. I found both beds to be a springy mattress with a worn out pillow top. Quite literally a pain on the back. Bedding is Frette and quite soft and cozy. Bathroom has Molton Brown products. Super bougie brand so I think that is on par with the hotel being luxury. I bring my own shampoo and conditioner because of my 3A curly hair doesn't get along with the shampoo and conditioner. Both the water pressure and hot levels are exceptional. I was not lacking warm water and did actually turn it a bit cooler than my usual setting at home. So I've a bit of a bone to pick on the minibar. There is a listed price for all the items. Great! Was a bit surprised on the bill to find the $3 can of soda and $18 container of dark sea salt chocolates to be listed as $3.99 and $22.41. That's more than the sales tax in Mecklenburg. Upon reading the fine print on the minibar there is a 24% service fee on top of the 8.25% sales tax. Given that the minibar is stocked and no one is running this items to the room like room service, I'm a bit confused on the service charge as anything but a small additional little money grab. Little sneaky and tacky vibes about it. Gallery restaurant I have written a separate 5 star review and very much so like the restaurant. Afternoon tea Afternoon tea I absolutely love and greatly enjoy. Lovely tea and tiered plate selections. This is a must for me, absolutely love it. I've attended with my partner as well as solo. Solo I sat and read a book it was great! Even if traveling solo still a lovely nice experience! Parking I think the price of parking has changed. It is now $20 to self park and $30 to valet. This is all clear on the app and website before booking. Spouse was understandably less than thrilled when he walked out to the car with all our luggage, loaded the car and began to drive to the hotel to pick me up only to be locked into the parking lot. The room key card that opens this parking was deactivated apparently at check out time. Well no one wants to be schlepping around in muggy hot weather at noon to come back to the hotel and find out why it isn't working. He had to have the card reactivated, then walk back to the car, then bring the car up. Waste of time and irritation. Hotel common space I found all common and public spaces clean and tidy. Both elevators have been working, in good service and clean. There is a complimentary coffee and tea station in the bar space in the morning. They also have some grab and go items for purchase. I made tea and drank it on the veranda. None of the grab and go items spoke to me so I went to the gallery restaurant. Spa I've been to the spa last trip and enjoyed my facial and massage. Mani pedi was ok... women's spa space has a sauna and steam room. A quiet waiting area with teas and water. Showers, restrooms and a locker space. Indoor pool Love that they have an indoor and outdoor pool. Super easy for me to get burned so I use the indoor ones. The interior space is quite lovely at the interior pool. A few notes of items needing attention. The rectangular hot tub has quite a thick layer of scrum on the tiles above the water level. Requested additional pillows when checking in ahead of time on the app. Those were not in the room and I had to request them. If you want a tea kettle in room you've to request that and tea. Wish it was easier in app or pre check in to do. I am not sure that we will be back anytime soon as I don't find their beds comfy and relaxing. Hotel, amenities, afternoon tea and brunch overall I like. I wish they would join other properties that had a memory foam type bed with a more firm supportive with slats. Rather than springy mattress on a box spring.

Bed was pretty worn out, there was a huge dip on the left side. My coworker didn't have a shower curtain. Lol. The pool was closed for some maintenance. Stayed for 2 nights for a work conference. Staff was very night. Smaller room. Breakfast was good. They had eggs, sausage, biscuits to make a breakfast sandwich and a waffle maker! Lots of seating in breakfast area. Free water bottles upon check in.

Unfortunately, my key did not work when I arrived, but they quickly took my information and provided me with a new key. My room was clean and comfortable, and the shower was the best ever. While the hotel could use some upgrades, it is well-maintained and clean. The hotel accepts dogs, which was a relief for my allergies since I did not sneeze or see any dog hair or fur anywhere. One downside is the parking lot, which is quite dark, especially if you have to park away from the front door. Be careful!! Overall, the hotel is great, and I enjoyed my stay.
