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

The French Quarter Inn is an amazing hotel! You are greeted with champagne at check-in, and then are provided with a wine and cheese reception in the evening and cookies and milk later on! The property is immaculately kept and you see the fine touches that set this hotel apart everywhere you look. This is our favorite hotel in Charleston and it is a “must-stay!”

I have stayed in several lovely hotels in Charleston over the years, but the French Quarter Inn was by far the best experience I’ve had. From our arrival to our check-out, everyone my family encountered at the hotel was friendly, courteous and professional. The room was comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The amenities are fantastic! We enjoyed the breakfast, the wine and cheese and the warm cookies. The fitness center was great, too. My compliments to hotel management and staff on providing an excellent experience for your guests. The hotel is in a great location for those wanting to explore the city. I highly recommend the French Quarter Inn.

Great Hotel-but it's under renovation (needs TLC)

Great hotel - but I think it got it's #1 status when it was a little newer and the staff a little more engaged. They are very competent--everything was excellent - but nothing was really exceptional. I guess based on the high reviews I expected more--and perhaps we should have been warned about renovations (which are really needed). When they finish this might go back to being the Grand Dame of CHS. Today is it not.
