My friend and I had the best time in Charleston! I would highly recommend French Quarter Inn. The staff was so friendly and helpful.The wine and charcuterie was excellent, as was breakfast.The inn is within walking distance to the best restaurants and shopping.Jay had our car pulled up and luggage in the trunk before he left for the day ( I mentioned we were leaving at 3:00). We were running a little late after lunch and needed to leave for the airport as soon as possible. We were so happy to see everything ready to go! Thank you so much Jay! I also bought shampoo, conditioner & salt scrub at the hotel… wonderful products. We were also welcomed with a glass of champagne. I am looking forward to coming back with my family soon❤️

This property is absolutely amazing! It is located right across from the Charleston market with tons of shops and restaurants nearby. The staff was unbelievably welcoming and helpful. Each member of the staff really added to our stay. The hotel itself is gorgeous. We stayed in a room on the third floor with a balcony and it was stunning. This was the best hotel stay we have ever had.

Charming Hotel full of Southern Hospitality

Fabulous stay at the French Quarter Inn. We were treated to a 5-star experience. Staff was super friendly and helpful with tips on things to do, places to go during our 3 day visit. Rooms were fresh and comfortable. Breakfast was great as well as evening tapas, along with other amenities (had to stop eating so we could go out and enjoy all the great restaurants in Charleston). Property itself is well maintained. The Lobby area was quaintly decorated that extended into a courtyard and balcony to enjoy the premises. Location of hotel is in heart of the French Quarter, so we parked the car and walked everywhere up to shopping on King Street, to all the churches and historical old homes, to the marketplace and the waterfront. Perfect location to explore Charleston. Plus more restaurants to choose from than meals in the day. Truely a wonderful stay with Top-notch Southern Hospitality abounding. Kudos to the French Quarter Inn and its staff. Can't go wrong if you stay here.

Excellent place to stay

We have a party of four our stay was excellent! All of the staff were so nice and friendly. This hotel was centrally located near everything. They had a nice breakfast that you could have in your room or in the common area. Which was very nicely decorated during our say it was complimentary water and wine. They also had one cheese, crackers and other hors d’oeuvres during certain times of the evening and even had milk and cookies if you needed a sweet snack later on. When I come back to the city of Charleston, I will definitely make this where I stay
