Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Beautiful facility and just an overall comfortable setting. In the heart of the historic downtown, just a few minutes walk from all the great restaurants Charleston has to offer. There's even a grocery store right next door, so we bought a few bottles of wine and enjoyed them in the room. The staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. Every employee we made contact with treated us like they appreciated that we were there!

This was our first stay at The Ansonborough. We were very pleased. Our room was very spacious & well appointed. The small bar was welcoming. The location is great: close but not on top of everything. It’s a fairly quiet property so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a bustling, busy atmosphere, this is not your place. But if charm, history & a friendly staff are what you seek, The Ansonborough is the right place

Very nice accommodations and wonderful staff. Too much dog barking, one night after 10 dogs were still barking and this was just across from the front desk! We had had a long weekend and day and needed to get some sleep! Dogs barking again from about 3 different rooms on the first floor right under our room on yesterday afternoon. This is unacceptable. Patrons need to be instructed to take barking dogs outside until they can remain courteous.

I was disappointed that they did not include any coffee downstairs. There was however, K cups in the room. They did not offer any daily room service in short there were just no extras considering we spent over $1000 for three nights Someone spilled coffee in the elevator and it was there the remainder of our stay
