Had the pleasure of staying at the French Quarter Inn recently. The Inn goes above and beyond making its guests comfortable. The complementary breakfast is a full meal. Cookies in the evening and a happy hour each evening featuring free wine and beer. The beds are super comfortable and there is a pillow menu for you to choose the firmness of your pillow. Location is directly across from the market and there are so many restaurants near you. Best place to stay in Charleston!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Staff was great. Breakfast wasn’t as wonderful as years before. I had a random charge of $394 at check out that nobody can explain. This is in addition to the $154 incidental charge that I did approve. It was would a 4 star without the $394 charge and if the charge doesn’t drop off, it would become a 2 star. I’ve since had to close out my check card because staff isn’t able to confirm what the charges are for and I’m not comfortable waiting to see if it drops since this charge wasn’t approved or able to be explained. It’s fine if you need extra holds, but since nobody is able to explain what it’s for, I am now having to deal with the liability. Kinda un-does the relaxation of a trip.

The hospitality of the staff was exceptional. They couldn't do enough for us, from late checkout, extra towels, turn down service, to special order bagels at breakfast. All front desk folks deserve a raise! Special shout out to Bob, Kim, Kimberly, Izzy, Neil, and Alex!! The hot breakfast, happy hour charcuterie &:wine, as well as bedtime cookies were all fantastic. The location is perfect for walking tours, shopping, and restaurants. Rooms are large and clean. Really nothing bad to say about this hotel.

The French Quarter Inn was a pleasant surprise. The staff was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Room was nice. They came. in every day to tidy room, and early evening left chocolates, and weather info for next day. There was a line to call with different pillow choices. Happy hour every afternoon was excellent as was breakfast. Lobby has small bar. Hotel is within walking distance to many wonderful restaurants and the marketplace and the waterfront park. Would highly recommend this property.
