This Inn has an attention to detail aimed at making sure your stay is comfortable and the staff are willing to help in a friendly and respectful manner - they are simply outstanding at what they do. The reception, with champagne, morning breakfasts, evening wine and cheese - all exceeded our expectations. And the staff are customer focused and attentive but polite and professional with a willingness to help and serve seldom encountered in this world.

The French Quarter Inn was a lovely hotel, full of charm and style in a wonderful, very conveniently located part of the downtown. Our room was quiet, very clean, spacious and beautifully decorated. The breakfast which was included, was very good. If I had to make any recommendations it would be perhaps for brighter lighting and a stool for the bathroom and some more variety of local bread, such as cornbread for the breakfasts. The hotel also offered a daily complementary wine and cheese in the afternoon and cookies, tea, coffee in the evening. This was a lovely touch! Furthermore, I would like to highlight the outstanding cleaning staff and the person doing the turn down services! Thank you as well to the gentleman that helped my friend and I with securing an Uber on our last day. He went out of his way to help us. We also had wonderful service and recommendations from the various staff members throughout our stay. Much appreciated! I highly recommend this hotel and would love to come back if I’m ever in Charleston again. Regards, Ana and Chandani
