Quaint place!

My husband and I were very pleased with our accommodations. Just what we needed.....small and quaint. Very quiet. The parking spot very close to the cottage was very good since parking in downtown Charleston is a premium. Our only complaint is there was no microwave and the mini frig was broken. However when I called about the frig a technician came out that day to look at it. Although it could not be fixed things happen! We were told a frig was available near by to use. Highly recommend for a couple!

Wonderful property

The Cottage was a perfect stay for us. Location is perfect if you like a little longer walks, but if not, Ubers are very easily accessible. The accommodations were everything we needed. The bed is firm just as a point of note. It was comfortable for us. It was a great stay and the hosts were very responsive!

Chuck town cottage

Nice up and coming neighbor. Unfortunately, not as close to the French Quarter as I expected. As an outsider. I wasn’t completely sure of the safety of the neighborhood. Fortunately I had a rental car. Would suggest at least a small couch or oversized chair to relax instead of just the bed.

Nice!

When booking at The Inns of Charleston I read the reviews and noticed a lot of comments on the construction directly outside the home. My initial thought was that these people just wanted to find something negative to say. However, after our stay I see where these people are coming from. The house being worked on DIRECTLY outside of your door should definitely be included in the description of staying here, considering it’s been a brought-up topic for months. I definitely was not expecting to open our door at 7am and see 4 men conversing about the their work and lugging tools around. We had no issues with parking as the walk isn’t nearly as far as other reviews make it sound. It felt like a privilege to have a designated parking spot! Ultimately, the location was great, especially for the price and the inside was all that my fiancé and I needed. The bed was comfortable and the space was cute and cozy overall. If you are a light sleeper, or enjoy sleeping past 7am I would definitely recommend seeking a stay elsewhere though!

Property was great! They are remodeling a building right behind, but there were no loud building noises or anything disturbing like that. Super close to downtown, and a great coffee shop down the street for breakfast. As a female, I felt super safe being alone.

Long weekend

Super easy to do an early bag drop at the main office w couple blocks away at no additional cost. Then they gave us a bottle of wine! The VRBO website says nothing is included, and to bring toilet paper. When we got there, everything was included, like at the Hilton. We did not have a car. It was an easy walk to King Street and there's Ubers and pedicabs everywhere. The unit and grounds were very quiet and we slept well. The local management company was eager to help with anything, and answered e-mails in a few minutes. There is also a phone number for the management company if there is an immediate need but we never used that. Would definitely stay here again.

Unpleasant Surprises

We enjoyed our trip but unfortunately we didn't love the room. The fact that we weren't told about the construction of a building that would be going on right behind the room was very disappointing. When we arrived and saw a van parked right at our door with construction things all over the patio space, that we were supposed to be able to enjoy, we were very upset. We had to be sure and leave the room before 8:00 and not come back before 5:00 because the construction and workers were so loud. We also hated the fact that we had to park down the street at another rental property. When I text about the things all over the patio and only one set of towels in the room, there was a quick response that they would contact the neighbor and another set of towels were delivered when we got back from eating dinner. We should've been told up front there would be construction on the back lot!. We paid a good amount for a room and drove 10 1/2 hours to find out it didn't meet our expectations. Once the workers were gone it was somewhat pleasant but overall it was not worth the money!

This property was the perfect stay!! We did a short stay in Charleston and needed somewhere close to everything and this was it!! It’s the perfect amount of space for a short trip and the bed/pillows were super comfortable! Short walks to everything you would like to get to! If it’s too far to walk, a short/cheap Uber is the next best option!
