We decided to make a mini vacation out of a trip to Charleston for a wedding and chose the French Quarter Inn for a home base. The front desk was very helpful in setting up the reservations a few weeks prior to the trip. Even better, they were very accomodating when I had to call to tell them our flight in had been canceled; they even took care of adjusting a restaurant reservation we had made. The hotel itself was three guest room floors built around an expansive central atrium that gives a very open and spacious feeling to the common areas. Breakfast is served on the second floor at comfortable tables around the central space and near the front desk. Evening social hours with wine at the bar adjacent to the breakfast area, cheese and other goodies allow guests to relax prior to walking to one of the many local (and delicious) restaurants. And they also serve milk and cookies in the same area later in the evening! The room was bright, spacious, well cared for and the mattress was one of the most comfortable that I've tried. I slept better in the French Quarter Inn than I had in a while. The accommodations were great. The service was professional and helpful. The hotel was tranquil. The location is adjacent to restaurants, a comedy theater next door and historic sites that Charleston is known for. Nicole was one of the hotel staff who welcomed us our first night and with whom I interacted most in making plans for restaurants, museums and plans for things to do in Charleston. She was friendly, knowledgeable, intimately familiar with the surroundings and helped us find our way to interesting experiences around the area. We are looking forward to our next trip!

Every year we celebrate our over 50 years of marriage by going to special place and staying at high end hotel. Charleston and the French Quarter Inn exceeded our high expectations.

We spent three nights. The experience was truly exceptional from check-in on. Beautiful, comfortable, and well appointed room, incredible breakfast included in the morning and wine and cheese in the evening. Great service. Highly recommend. This place is doing it right!

My husband and I LOVED the French Quarter Inn. The entire staff was courteous and helpful. Our room (#303) was spacious and spotless. The room amenities were numerous, good quality and very thoughtful. Chocolates, Waters, turn down service and next day weather updates from the staff, to name a few. The location is excellent, we were able to walk everywhere in the Charleston historical district. Charleston is a very safe town, yet I liked that the Hotel also had key locks for elevators and plenty of staff around day/night. A favorite part of our stay was the breakfast option of having it delivered to our room (several delicious choices are included in your stay), or you can enjoy a self-service breakfast buffet it in their dining area. We were also treated to wine and a lovely charcuterie each afternoon, and cookies and milk/coffee in the evenings. Both were great opportunities to meet the other guests and share travel stories. Little things like this make the French Quarter Inn unique. I truly recommend this Hotel for your stay in Charleston . My husband and I had a wonderful stay !

I had the most wonderful stay here and cannot recommend it enough. It’s a great location, rooms are big and clean and all the staff are lovely. It’s the little touches that set my stay here apart from any other. Huge pillow menu, white noise machine, a little card letting you know the weather for tomorrow when they turn your room down. Breakfast is included and you can choose to dine in your room or to visit the buffet. Also every evening there’s a complimentary wine and cheese hour and warm cookies and milk before bed. They’ve really thought of everything!

I am a former chef and am now a catering director at a private country club. Being extremely picky and wanting the best possible accommodations and food - we were nothing but happy with French Quarter Inn!

My wife and I stayed at the French Quarter Inn on a Monday and Tuesday evening. As our second visit to Charleston, we wanted to enjoy the Battery area history and restaurants for a couple days. French Quarter Inn was fantastic! The staff really set the stage for a memorable and rejuvenating visit. Charleston really is a unique and wonderful city, and I highly recommend the French Quarter Inn for helping us take a little of Charleston with us.
