Disliked: Amenities
The room itself was fairly comfortable and quite clean. The deck would have been a lovely place to enjoy but it was dirty and unkept. Furniture was dusty and not appealing. Major disappointment Other guests were polite and quiet, but the location is extremely loud. It’s difficult to get a good sleep with sirens and broken exhaust systems roaring up and down Ashley street. I would suggest providing your guests a simple map of the “ old town and French Quarter. A hard copy simple map is very helpful particularly if you use the bikes. As this property is A long walk from the French Quarter, a list of good eating establishments nearby would also be helpful to guests. We finally found some good restaurants nearby. We loved the bikes and felt comfortable locking them up in French Quarter. My lock was broken so you might want to review the equipment. Breakfast was ok, after two mornings the yogurt appeared :) I am not sure I would recommend this property to fellow travelers

Loved, Loved the shower and bed. Instructions from property regarding parking were detrimental to enjoying the parts. Information for WiFi didn’t tell you the name of the network so when you try to connect to TheAshley it fails. That’s not the network for you. 😳 They should tell you on each room listing how many stairs you have to climb to get to your room and when they say take the back stairs from the parking area, they don’t mean the skinny spiral staircase. Finally, the parking area is NOT behind the building. The Ashley is at the corner of Ashley and Bee and the parking area is at the Bee St entrance.

The room wise nice, comfortable bed. Decor nice. The breakfast was a huge disappointment and not as advertised. There is no front desk and the only person available to talk to were the people who clean the rooms. When asked about the food that was advertised her answer was “we ran out”. It’s also not in the French Quarter and we had to drive to get there and pay a lot to park. I would recommend staying directly in the French Quarter.

Stayed overnight on our way to Florida and would stay again! Yes the hotel is old but what do you expect? It’s very well kept very clean and we loved the location and boutique feel! We will be coming back next time we are in Charleston! Would not recommend for elderly people as they do have stairs that are steep so plan according! But my almost 2 year old had no issue so I would say kid friendly!

Room 2 was loud in the very early am. Could hear all movement on the stairs- probably to be expected in historic property, but there was also loud construction or some kind of engine nearby starting at 6 am every day including the weekend. Couldnt figure out the thermostat so it was cold at night. Also they wouldnt give us a late checkout, which I understand but was still a bit frustrating. A warning about the early morning noise would be nice.

Nice lodgings

Beautiful lodging, super convenient location. My only complaint is that there was not "regular" decaf coffee, only espresso machine with creamer in the lobby.

Feedback from room 5&6

I booked two rooms for trip with friends. There are a couple things I want to share for better service in the future. 1. Breakfast was served at 1st FL and coffee maker was broken. Many of customers were not happy. 2. Coffee maker at room 5 was broken too. 3. Air filter was super noisy at room 5&6. 4. Toilet in room 6 was kept flashing. 5. Bath soap bottle in shower room at room 6 was broken.

Even though there were no staff on site, everything we needed was available. The room was clean, attractive and the bed was comfortable. We had direct access to the large second floor porch. We took the complimentary bikes down Ashley St. and around the Citadel. Breakfast was good (but only coffee mate for coffee). Would definitely stay again.

This is a beautiful old home and our room was lovely. The bathroom was gorgeous - the only thing I would change is to add a second mirror as the one above the sink was small and not very clear. A full length in the room would be amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was lack listed. Some real milk for coffee would have been nice. But there are cafes within walking distance and an amazing French patisserie in town. We would stay here again if we came back to Charleston.

LOVED THE ASHLEY!

The Ashley is the most beautiful, quaint hotel in the area. We had Room 3 which was perfect for two friends. The main room had a king bed plus desk and coffee area, and a separate room with a fold out sofa! Gave us both the privacy and space we needed. PLUS had the most gorgeous veranda! It was warm enough to sit outside for a bit. The shower had so much water pressure - a treat for California girls. They offered a delicious breakfast bagel and coffee bar with sodas and waters. Great value! The manager Price was so kind as he had to come back to help us with the lock. He was personable and offered suggestions of where to go and what to do. We would go back to Charleston just to stay at The Ashley!
