Great place to stay

The location on East Bay is superb! Very close to a public pier where you can watch dolphins and sea birds, and surrounded by good restaurants. I found the neighborhood to be less frantic than King Street, but close to all the sights. Our room was very large and well appointed, it even had a gas fireplace. Sound insulation could be better. We could hear revelers and traffic on the street below our windows. It could be a problem if you are a light sleeper.The staff were very friendly and helpful. I liked this place and would stay here again.

A lot of deception.

I booked a room on the app. The room was nothing like what was pictured. It so happened that the room I was given was directly above the restaurant and the noise could be heard up to 11:00pm. I was told the parking garage was 48 dollars a day by the clerk and the valet was only 50 so it made sense to use the valet. Come to find out I was lied to and the garage that was across the street was only 24 dollars a day. I guess there is nothing more to expect from Charleston but that kinda ticked me off.

Great Location But More of a Hotel Room

You cannot beat the location and the staff is great. This is more of a hotel room than a typical Vrbo. There is no kitchen or dining area and no laundry facilities. Housekeeping is an extra fee. Upon arrival, we were told that we would have to change rooms for our last night. The owner wanted nothing to do with helping with that. He said that any stay over 4nights can have a room change so be careful if you want more than 4 nights. We were able to work it out with Sam, the manager, who is GREAT! We got past that and had a fine time because it is a great location within walking distance of so much.

Location is really wonderful

This is a great location to enjoy Charleston and our room was clean and mostly comfortable. I booked our visit for 4 days but somehow it was separated into two, 2 day reservations which we didn't notice until we checked it. This was not indicated at the time of booking. Luckily, the front desk was able to adjust this and we did not have to move. The main building where our unit was located seemed oddly unlevel. Our bathroom had a distinctive slope down to a single very low sink. The small area where the coffee maker, microwave, etc. is located was so small, we had to relocate items in order to have any space to deal with food. Lastly, the walls are not insulted much and we recommend ear plugs if you don't want to be bothered by music from the restaurant next door or family's with children in nearby rooms who are up early and bouncing off the walls. Not sure I would stay here again, but it is a great location.

Taylors visit

We enjoyed our stay. The air conditioning did not work. Maintenance probably saying so we could sleep there the first night. Next day we were transferred to another room couple of doors down where the air was working in similar accommodation, but we still have an enjoyable time other than having to pack up and move everything. Thank you for allowing us to have a good day.

Great location, good value in French Quarter

We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge Alley Inn. The location was great - easy walking distance to many great restaurants, rooftop bars and historic sites. The bed was very comfy, the bathroom spacious, and the sitting area was comfortable to hang out in. The staff was helpful and friendly but we didn't engage much wishing to avoid the sales pitch. Our only suggestion would be for a bit more light in the bedroom area. We would definitely check availability here for any future trips to Charleston.

Homeless in Charleston

Let me start by saying the property is outstanding. The location is perfect to see the sights in Charleston. However, the property is a timeshare and apparently the owner combined 2 rooms together for our stay. We paid for our reservation 4 months in advance. Once on site we were informed that we would have to move out the next day and find a hotel, then come back the following day and recheck in. Owner simply refunded 1 night leaving us homeless in Charleston. The concierge at the property, seeing our frustration, helped us work a 1 night stay at the Inn and charged us for that. Overall we waisted a day trying to coordinate a room. Very disappointed!!!

VRBO cancelled our first night without giving a reason!

When you combine VRBO and a time share property, you get a mess. Our first night was cancelled only 1 week before our stay, and no reason was given. The remaining 2 nights were fine, but we had to find a hotel for the night that was cancelled on us. We were promised a refund of the 1st night, but we haven't seen it yet, of course.

The property sits in the best area for walking to everything. We enjoyed the carriage tour, the harbor tour and the aquarium this time we visited. Walking everywhere works most all the time for us, the city sidewalks can be a challenge at times in areas, the Lodge Ally in is a great place to stay, the staff there is the best . Always kind and greet you everyday and are always there to help in anyway. The Inn is kept very clean outside and in. Very beautiful courtyard is so relaxing to walk through and sit.
