Very convenient location. Enjoyed the courtyard with evening cheese and wine provided. Had amazing meals at Husk (dinner), 82 Queen (dinner) and Poogan's Porch (brunch). (These are all next door to the Inn and are some of the city's best restaurants). Room was clean and sufficient for our needs, though may be more outdated than some may like.

Older hotel with so much charm! Check in was easy. Parked in garage across the street (they forget to take the parking full sign down. Go in anyway) beautiful courtyard, roomy clean well appointed rooms. Wine and cheese in the courtyard from 5-6p. Great location. Entire French quarter is walkable. Friendly staff. Our room had it's own private patio. We stayed on ground level. No bugs. Everything is expensive there, including this hotel but it was by far the most bang for your buck! Would absolutely stay here again!

This is in a great area with loads of restaurants and shopping on the doorstep. Staff were friendly and helpful. Happy Hour was a nice touch. The property could use a bit of a refresh and I heard other guests complaining about the in-room AC units being loud or not working efficiently. We might stay again, but it’s an expensive area of Charleston for lodging and I wouldn’t call this a bargain. For us it was worth not having to drive around all weekend.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean. No accommodation for a microwave. The toilet bowl was dirty with a ring in it. Mosquitos were coming in the room. The AC unit was working well enough. The sink stand was rusty. The offer the wine and cheese, but only for 1 hour. We were not made aware of $75 oft of dining. We had to make the reservation through them. Although I made my reservation through Expedia. But I’m still a paying customer. So we didn’t get anything special.

Comfortable room, no bar/lounge, front desk closes

The listing says 24-hour service/ front desk and that there is a bar/lounge 9n property, neither of which is true - there’s not even a lobby and front desk closed at 10, I barely made it there in time to check in. Lovely bar next door (completely unrelated to hotel), but that’s not what was advertised. Front desk manager was unapologetic, definitely wasn’t feeling that southern hospitality.
