Reasonable getaway

  • Garvy
  • Nov 4, 2011
Staff was extremely friendly. Continental breakfast was adequate and the room was comfortable. There was van service into the historical area for $8 per person daily which is convenient when guests are not driving. La Quinta shared a parking lot area with California Dreaming restaurant, which was convenient for last minute meals. Discount coupons are offered for area attractions and the Inn was located in the vacinity of a few historic sites, accessible by taxi if not driving. Overall, the stay was pleasant enough. In a pinch, I would stay there again.

We came for a couple of days of a family holiday. We all enjoyed the stay with the great pool, gym, fantastic restaurant and all the trimmings and excellent service able to help you find anything you want. And everywhere is the smell of Charleston pumped out through the air conditioning! So everyone was happy. My daughter decide not to join us the restaurant. The best evening of her holiday was enjoying room service in the luxurious room! The only gripe was that the wireless internet signal only worked near the door not in the main part of the room.

Hotel is worn but it was fine for a sleeping spot. Good location, staff was helpful. Beware Ross transportation service. Front desk arranged it and never mentioned the STEEP price. Assumed it was a taxi when I requested it, that would have ended up cheaper.

Located in the heart of Charleston it's an easy walk to just about everything: Open air shopping on Market St., up-scale and antique shopping on King St.,, beautiful residential streets, ghost tours, carrage rides, bus tours, restaurants & bars - it's all right here. Toast resaurant & bar is attached. No fancy lobby, rooms are okay. In Charleston you don't spend much time in the room anyway - there's too much to see and do. Parking for the motel is limited (something like 80 spaces for 120 rooms) but once you park at check-in you don't really need to use your car until it's time to check-out. Definitely the best bang for your dollar. Will likely go back to Charleston again and will go back to this Day's Inn.

Double tree is in the IDEAL location. A few friends went down to Charleston for the weekend. Our 1 room suites were all two stories, which though still a small footprint, enabled us to spread out a bit. The hotel is right in the center of all the stores and shopping. It was great.

Good experience

  • Travel With Baby
  • Jul 20, 2011
Hotel was a good size for my family trip. We were traveling with an infant and i was slightly reluctanct to take my baby to a hotel. It definitely helped to have two separate rooms and they supplied a crib which was nice. Rooms were pretty average. It was great that there was a mini fridge. The room service menu was a little pricey, but i guess that is to be expected. THere is however a dunkin donuts and other small cafes right on the block so that wasn't such a big deal. There was also a Harris Teeter grocery store about three blocks away. The location was perfect, if you are looking for a downtown location you can't do much better. Ate at Hymans and it was factastic. And Wild Wings is one of my absolute favorite place to eat in Charleston-awesome wings great price. Having been a previous local in Charleston I really only visited one or two of my favorite bars, Tommy Condons is great.

Me and my special other stayed at this hotel for three days and we both didn't particularyly like the sleep number beds, they don't work well and are far less comfortable than a conventional mattress, the service was okay, there wasn't much service but that was fine we didn't need anything other than more towels, the tv had a decent amount of channels and watchable shows, liked how there was a fridge an microwave inside the sliding closet, didn't like how we had to access other floors out of the way to get ice, bathroom was relatively small.

Had [...]confirmation for 2 rooms, each with king bed. Both rooms given contained 2 queen beds. Hotel first said it was [...] fault but when this was verified as incorrect, they blamed it on Best Western 800 number that [...]reserved with. Hard to understand how they felt no obligation of fault. I provided documentation of king bed booking but they simply stated they did not have any available nor would make any pricing adjustment. They stated I should be happier with the 2 beds as the room was larger that my confirmed room. In addition the rooms were not cleaned until after 6 PM one evening. Rest of hotel was fine but management did not seem the least concerned about my reservation details.

Great Vacation

  • Charlie 407
  • Jan 31, 2012
This hotel was very clean and up to date on everything. The only thing we had a problem with was finding a cart when we checked out, however two young employees, Kevin and Ben, took care of getting out luggage and items inour vehicle. I think this happens everywhere, people acutally put them in their rooms at night and hide them so they will have them the next morning. This hotel was great and centrally located for our sightseeing tour.

This hotel is clean and neat, offers a great breakfast, and is a short drive to downtown Charleston. The hotel is close to a mall, and a Ruby Tuesday is next door. The staff greeted us at each coming and going, which is much appreciated.

Wonderful Vacation

From the moment we arrived, the staff was very professional and met our every expectation. If you're booking through online, but still want your hotel chain rewards points, you'll have to do it when you get home; the staff couldn't or wouldn't do it. The location has to be the best in Charleston. The Barbados Room was great and the patio and pool areas are beautiful to spend time in. Say "Hi!" to the nicest staff in the South, and tell them we'll see them soon!

Great hotel, but a little over priced

  • Venny
  • Jan 22, 2012
We enjoyed our time while staying at the Vendue Inn. The breakfast was excellent and the staff was very friendly. We overlooked the construction and that we had to walk up to the third floor (from the 2nd) and take the elevator down to the 1st floor and just the opposite comming back. The Sherry was a nice surprise also. My wife dosen't usually drink but I think she found it to her liking.

The accomodations were great, the location couldn't get any better and the staff excellent. Including wine and cheese in the court yard made a relaxing enviorment to meet with other guests. The only complaint is having to pay for parking, $20 for the day. Should have a discount for people staying at the Elliot House Inn.

Our room was VERY roomy! We had five people in our party and never once did we feel crowded. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The best thing was that they had pre-written directions for all the places we wanted to go. Not only how to get there, but how to get back. The evening shuttle to downtown was very nice!!!!! The breakfast was very fresh and delicious :)

Good location, great service.

  • Nicolette
  • May 3, 2011
In my opinion, this is better for a business trip instead of a couple vacation like I booked it for. The room was smaller than I'm used to, but it was very well laid out. The bed was very comfortable, the housekeeping staff nice, the front desk very helpful, breakfast was very good, and I liked being close to the marina so I could see the boats. For me, the cons: I would have liked for the refrigerator to have gotten colder (we brought food on our trip and our gel packs were not frozen for the trip home), and I would have liked more dresser space (there were a couple of shelves under the television stand and only a small space in the corner to hang some clothes and a luggage rack there as well). The pros: Loved the location. It is just past downtown Charleston, so we avoided all that traffic and were able to visit Summerville, and some of the attractions just south of Charleston. Also, the hotel offers a free shuttle to downtown Charleston from 5-11 pm. There are a couple of computers in the downstairs area, so you are able to access the Internet. The only bad thing is it is right at the double doors, so you constantly see people entering the hotel. It would have been nicer if it was separate. Overall, loved the stay, just next time I'll book it for a business trip.

We really enjoyed our stay! The rooms/bed were comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for enjoying historic Charleston. The dining experience could have been improved as the rooftop breakfast was too cold to be enjoyed and the 2nd floor alternative was outside of guest rooms which was not optimal. The breakfasts were not as good as other B and Bs. But, the free access to EcoFitness and Blue Turtle Yoga was awesome!

First time in Charleston and could not be more pleased with our hotel choice. We stayed in the older section which our room had great character with a brick wall and a very large bathroom and the most comfortable beds ever... Breakfast buffet was in the lobby or brought to you on the rooftop..and the wine and cheese hour allowed us to meet wonderful people...Charleston was a great city to visit with great restaurants and tours that will take you back in time and appreciate the history of this fabulous city. We especially loved the Charleston Tea Party private tour with Laura....

The hotel goes the extra mile, with breakfast delivered to your room, in the afternoon there is cheese and wine,fresh baked cookies at 9pm, and there is always hot coffee, tea available in the lobby. (oh, yes, the M&M's plain and nut) it does not get much better then this.

Great location, breakfast, and price

  • Becky Sue
  • Oct 11, 2011
We visited several attractions both in downtown Charleston, around Johns Island, and other towns in the area. The location of the hotel was perfect to everywhere we traveled. The breakfast in the morning was the best of any hotel I've stayed at! The "hostess" I liked to call her at the breakfast nook made our waffles during the weekdays and everything was stocked and food/beverage temperature well kept. The rooms were pretty standard, but since there were 4 adults in our room, it was nice to have the double sink. Didn't get to use the pool since it was October, but I saw kids playing in it and it looks well kept! Staff was friendly and helpful with area attractions and suggestions...that's how we found out about the Angel Tree. Excellent experience!!

Great Hotel in a Great City!

  • BRDTX
  • Dec 19, 2011
I had an excellent stay in the Planter's Inn. The decor was beautiful, creating an elegant but comfortable atmosphere. Loved the pumpkin pine floors and real antiques in the reception area. Staff was attentive. Peninsula Grill was a top notch restaurant - loved the pork chops and collards and the coconut cake! . . . . Only missing amenities were workout and wet area, but not enough of a negative to keep me away on future visits. I will be back.

We experienced fast entry and departure. Breakfast and coffee are a plus. The description was that the hotel was close to historic district, however, it was across the river without footpath. Renting a car is essential. Well worth the rental.

More than just a getaway!

  • Oct 24, 2011
The city of Charleston had much to see and do in fthe six nights that we were there. We enjoyed ourselves at a pace that left time for relaxation and dining at a leisurely pace. Of course six days of beautiful sunshine and interesting sights added to the enjoyment. Our hotel The French Quarter Inn, is located in the heart of everything and and walking to most places was an easy stroll. The staff was polite and friendly and willing to serve. Breakfast every morning was presented beautifully in the lobby or delivered to your room. There were always cold drinks and snacks available and wine and cheese with fruit served beautifully was set out at happy hour and milk and cookies before bed. The experience was as being a guest in someones home rather than in a hotel. Charleston is a beautiful clean city with friendly folks and surrounded by history. Hope to return again soon.
