"Great communication and very friendly! Made our stay very smooth." - Laurel

"Great value for the room and location. The hosts are very responsive, and the check-in process is very easy. Would stay here again!" - Drew

**BEDROOM**
This unique suite is one of three in The Ashley in downtown Charleston. A single suite is complete with a high-end Queen-size bed, a dresser, vintage furniture and access to the private bathroom. Two Queen suites are on the first floor, while one is on the third.

**PRIVATE BATHROOM**
After a long day of walking, shopping and eating in Charleston, a hot and steamy shower in the spacious bathroom is the perfect way to end the day. This recently renovated bathroom has a modern walk-in shower behind glass doors with rainshower features and basic essentials.

**KITCHEN & LOUNGE**
The suite has a mini-fridge and Nespresso coffee maker with coffee and local tea. These essential appliances make it easy to brew a cup of coffee to enjoy on the patio, or store leftovers from a nearby cafe or restaurant.

You also have access to the shared great room, a sun-filled lounge that is a welcoming space to meet new friends. Combining modern style and antique accents, it features an original ornate fireplace, hardwood floors, antique light fixtures and handcrafted furniture.

**OUTSIDE SPACE**
The sunny, shared patio offers padded outdoor furniture and unobstructed views of the city streets below. This is a great place to read, sip coffee, people watch, work on your laptop, or meet new people. Swing by one of the local restaurants and bring your lunch back to the patio to enjoy, or sit in the sun and enjoy the view.

For toiletries - think hotel amenities. We provide shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toilet paper, coffee, cream and sugar, beach towels, bug spray, and sunscreen.

You will have one parking spot, but it's important to note that these spots can be tight, and it's important to follow the instructions to ensure everyone fits.

The Neighborhood:
What do we love about this neighborhood? Everything!

Each house is unique. The culinary scene for which the Charleston has become so famous is just steps away. Xiao Bao Biscuit, The Grocery, The Ordinary, 492, Chez Nous, Cannon Green, Trattoria Lucca, Stars, and Fuel (from Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives) are all just around the corner - among countless others. The fantastic restaurants and nightlife of Upper King Street are close enough to walk but far enough to not keep you up all night.

Getting Around:
The DASH trolley is free in Charleston. There are 3 routes, and two of the routes have stops just blocks from this property. More information can be found with the route map on the DASH website.

Other Things to Note:
Pet policy: As much as we love the four-legged members of your family, we do not allow pets at this property.

No smoking is allowed. Violators will be fined for in-room smoke damages. Smoking is only permitted outside of the property at least 10 feet away please.

Please note that there is a noise ordinance in this neighborhood after 10pm daily, so if you are enjoying yourself please stay inside and be considerate of the neighbors.

Please note that COVID-related cancellations are no longer honored. If a positive COVID diagnosis or exposure to COVID prohibits or alters the guest (or any individuals in the guest's group) from traveling to the property, the standard cancellation policy will remain in force. Should a guest choose to cancel their reservation under these circumstances, a refund will not be issued, and we shall have no liability with respect to the reservation.

Extenuating Circumstances Hurricane Policy: If a Mandatory Evacuation Order is issued by the Governor during the dates of your stay specifically for the county in which the property is located, the extenuating circumstances policy will be in effect, and we will refund any deposits or payments paid by the guest. We shall have no additional liability concerning the reservation. However, if a Mandatory Evacuation Order is NOT issued, then THE STANDARD CANCELLATION POLICY WILL REMAIN IN EFFECT SHOULD THE GUEST CHOOSE TO CANCEL THEIR RESERVATION. If inclement weather in any other part of the country or world during the dates of stay prohibits or alters the guest (or any individuals in the guest's group) from traveling to the property, a refund will not be issued, and we shall have no liability with respect to the reservation. During months where there is a potential for inclement weather, such as hurricane season, we strongly recommend guests purchase travel insurance.

Please be advised that by confirming your booking, you are agreeing to the Rental Agreement Policy terms posted publicly on our company website. Should you have any questions, please feel to contact us prior to booking.

Conde Nast has rated Charleston the #1 tourist destination for several years. You will love everything our charming historic city has to offer, especially the Southern hospitality in which our residents take such great pride. Don't be surprised if you end up wanting to move here!

Even better than expected!
This was one of the best stays I've ever booked. The place was quiet and if I hadn't seen the other cars in the lot, I would have believed I had the entire place to myself. Would recommend and book again in a heartbeat! Check in was smooth and easy and I so appreciated the hot grab and go breakfast!

First Trip To Charleston
First time in Charleston and one of the best vacation experiences. Loved the accommodations at The Ashley. The owners have thought of almost every possible need. Will recommend this place to anyone asking for a great place to stay. Thanks for making this first time visit so memorable.

Ashley Hotel
The location and the condition of this property is definitely a five star. We thoroughly enjoyed being there. Wish we could’ve enjoyed the outside fire pit. Tank was out of gas. Very nice to have bicycles. Do use while staying on the property as well. Would definitely stay here again.

You’re crazy not to stay here
Are you and your partner looking for a place to spend your weekend in Charleston? Are you trying to stay in walking distance of King St. and historic downtown? Are you trying not spend half your life savings on a hotel that costs $500 a night?? Then man oh man look no further. The Ashley is gorgeous, newly renovated, clean, and quiet. My fiance and I spent mothers day weekend there and loved the king size bed and walk in shower. We loved having almost no interaction with other guests. Hotel staff was super responsive and easy to get ahold of if we ever needed anything. AND they had breakfast waiting for us in the lobby area from a local bagel joint. Its a quick 10 minute walk to King St. and 30 minute walk to the battery. Lovely, beautiful, safe neighborhood. They have bikes to use for free too (although we didnt think charleston was the most bike friendly). Look. Charleston is beautiful but its stupid expensive. If you’re a budget-focused travel-happy couple like we are, you’d be dumb not to stay here.
