Wonderful HOTEL

Perfect location in downtown Charleston, right across the street from the markets! Restaurants galore, shopping, carriage rides and easy walking down to Rainbow Row and all the historic homes. Just a perfect stay, the hotel was very nice but had that historic feel with the grand staircase and the rooms were equipped with a kitchen, separate living and bedroom upstairs plus 1 1/2 baths. Would stay here anytime I was visiting Charleston! Will definitely be back someday! Very affordable in comparison to other downtown hotels but had a great vibe and a beautiful courtyard to enjoy morning coffee or anytime during the day to just relax and enjoy the weather.

Our stay was excellent. Staff was great. Location was easy to acess everything surrounding it. The parking dowtown is a problem, which we experienced. However, staff did assist us, but big trucks are a problem.

This hotel was in a great location that was convenient to shopping and restaurants. Unfortunately, the person at the front desk when we checked in was extremely rude. We asked for towels after the second day and never received them. When we approached the desk clerk, we were (reluctantly) given the towels. The hotel needs some upkeep and could work on cleanliness. The courtyard is beautiful. When we booked the trip, the hotel advertised a full breakfast but we were told that there was no breakfast available except coffee. Note: I’ve NEVER left a bad review of a hotel but felt it necessary for future patrons.

Property looks like miniature condos with an upstairs and downstairs so keep in mind for the elderly. Parking is off site at public parking lot around the corner. Location is excellent thought, right in the heart of downtown near Meeting & King St. Housekeeping only cleans the rooms every 3-4 days so you may not get a cleaning if your there for a short weekend.

Great location, basically a travel hotel

The hotel is in a great location. Rooms are very large and work very well when traveling with older children. The condition of the hotel was fair. Carpets in the hallway were stained with a few rips. I have stayed here before, so I knew what to expect. I was a little surprised how un-attentive the front desk staff was. It was almost like we were disturbing them when we said good morning.

Expensive for what you get. Church Street Inn sounds like it would be charming... its not. Rooms are clean but cheaply renovated. Comfortable, but nothing special. Zero amenities. Another Inn nearby offers breakfast and a great wine and cheese happy hour plus snacks in room. We will be staying elsewhere on our next visit. Just not worth the price.

Enjoyed our stay. Loved the unique nature of the rooms and the big windows. The kitchenette was helpful especially for a quick breakfast. The people at the desk were especially helpful and friendly. Great location to everything in the historic district. I would stay here again.

When we arrived the front desk was unattended with a sign stating they would return shortly. We waited at least 20 minutes. When she returned we were not offered help with luggage or even a cart. We were charged $75 extra fee she explained was “in case we mess something in the room up”. She then gave me a paper that she said was the rules and pointed out a QR code to tip front desk and housekeeping even though there’s no housekeeping if you stay less than 4 nights? We did hear another nice gentleman offering help to other guests the next day. Our room had a chain hanging on the side of the door with no hardware on the other side and the deadbolt hardly worked.
