I love that the property was convenient to restaurants, shopping, tours, etc. Parking was convenient and cheaper than anywhere else I've stayed in downtown Charleston before. Staff were extremely nice and always asked us how we were and if we needed anything. I'd definitely stay again.

Overall, we had a nice stay at the Indigo Inn minus someone talking loudly outside our door at 1 am waking us up the first night. Unfortunately our room was located below a staircase, right next to the check in area and a service area. The staff was friendly and the hotel was mostly very clean, although the back of the headboards between mattress and wall are in need of a dusting. While the hotel rooms are a little dated, the beds were comfortable, bedding was clean and there were some recent upgrades like the flooring and the shower in the bathroom. Check in and check out were a breeze, we enjoyed the evening charcuterie boards and cookies. Breakfast has items like Quaker oatmeal cups, cereals, muffins, Danish, bagels, yogurt, premade Belgian waffles in a bag (toaster ready) and hard boiled eggs which was ok for us. Heads up, be prepared to pay $25 a day to park in their parking lot. I was not aware of the fee prior to arriving and had not read it in any prior reviews, but was somewhat expecting it since it’s pretty normal for downtown Charleston. Parking lot is a little tight if in a larger vehicle like a Suburban but manageable for us in a Camry. Hotel is in a very good location with a lot of great restaurants and shopping within a short walk. It also had a very nice courtyard. We would definitely stay again, but will make sure we are not put in a room near the stairs or front office again.

Was such a lovely stay, I wish we had more time! After a handful of hours in the car and starving, it was nice to arrive and there be wine/charcuterie for us to snack on, before getting ready real quick to go out for the night & explore! Indigo is also in prime walking distance of so much, as well. All the little added amenities they offer in the lobby, were truly that extra something special that makes one place better than the next! From breakfast, ice-cold flavored waters (nice to fill up your canteens, before you go out walk), to “happy hour” and even a cookies & milk night cap; Indigo provides, that’s for sure. Nothing like coming back to a cold room after walking around a hot & humid city and resting your bones on a heavenly comfortable bed (I want those pillows). Would definitely recommend to anyone in search & friends. (Only thing that took away from it was when I was struggling with getting the bell chart into the main lobby, for the elevator, and the Front Desk Agent did not even try to come over to help with the door. Was sitting 25ft away and just watched us struggle. Bathrooms were ummm an interesting layout, not sure why they sectioned the shower/toilet into such a small space! Like I’m 5’3” and I was having a wonky time opening the door after closing it to shower; those I was with were using the vanity area to get ready. NGL bigger/claustrophobic people are gonna struggle with that space big time! But we didn’t go to Charleston to hang out in the rooms).

If you are looking for a place to stay that is within walking distance to the best parts of downtown Charleston, Indigo Inn is a great option. Charming courtyard, nice extras, and within two blocks of several city tour locations. Rooms were comfortable, temperature controlled, and well turned out. We will be going back.
