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.

Expectations Exceeded by a Mile!
I can't remember having a better experience at a property! The FQI was exceptional from the start... They greeted me warmly as an Expedia VIP member and explained that my complimentary wine was waiting in our room. They also shared that they have a complimentary wine and cheese hour at 5pm and cookies & milk before bed. The complimentary breakfast was also exceptional! Not only was there a variety, and it changes across the days of our stay, but it had many great healthy protein options for my health-conscious travel companion. We also participated in a Christmas wreath-making activity the hotel had available, which was truly the highlight of our trip. Honestly we didn't leave the property much at all, because it was just so cozy and festive. Some exceptional team members we interacted with were Solomon and Toby. I wish I remembered more names because everyone was just so phenomenal! We have already decided this will be an annual trip for us. Thank you so much!
