Second time staying and worth a second review. Just as good as we remember, if not better. You can not beat the location of this hotel and the above and beyond accommodating staff. This was our first trip back as a couple with our baby and we had the best time. Such a stress free environment and great to stay as a family. We called ahead to reserve a crib which was waiting in our room! The rooms are extremely spacious and you can't hear any noise from the street or other guests rooms which was very important to us with the baby. The location was so convenient and close to all the best restaurants and sights. You are literally on top of the infamous market. Coming home to the complimentary wine & cheese after a day out on the town and the cookies & port after gave us something to look forward to. Can't wait to go back.. again!!!

This was not my first visit to Charleston but it was my first stay at the French Quarter Inn. The location is perfect, I could walk to anything I wanted to visit easily. That was one of the reasons I picked this hotel. The staff-they know southern hospitality. I immediately made friends with Bob and he had recommendations when I asked, knew everything about the city, the food, anything I needed. They made me feel like i never wanted to leave and can’t wait to come back. We loved the breakfast in bed, the afternoon wine and the milk and cookies before bed. I may have to come back for every vacation because it will be hard to top this, see you soon!

The French Quarter Inn was a fabulous hotel. I would highly recommend to family and friends. Loved the night time service. Lynn in Catering was so helpful and absolutely incredible to work with during our Board meeting! She was always one step ahead, anticipating our needs and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her attention to detail and willingness to help made a wonderful impression. Thank you, Lynn, for everything! Kevin in Valet was superb. No matter what we needed, he was always ready and willing to help with a positive attitude. His exceptional service truly stood out. Thank you, Kevin, for going above and beyond!

Stay at the French Quarter in a couple years ago during Covid. Found it an intimate European like feel. Wanted to try it again to see if we would have the same experience. It did not disappoint. It still has the same charm and nice amenities that we found so pleasurable the first time. In addition, however, this time we found the front desk staff to be extremely cordial and helpful. Especially want to make note of Bob who made us feel very welcome and spent at least 20 minutes talking with us individually. One evening we sat in the lobby and played board games that are available to all hotel guests. As a result, we witnessed his interaction with other guests. He greeted all who came with the same courtesy and interest that we found to be so genuine. Also can’t beat the location one block from St Phillips church.

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.
