My wife and I had a great stay. The owners live in the front house of the cottage. Great people, they actually gave us a tour of their house which was pre civil war. Will stay here again.

Perfect location

The property is listed in a perfect location within the French Quarter - was able to walk to all destinations but is also within 2 blocks of a parking garage. Room was clean, staff was friendly and no issues with the reservation. Will stay with them again if back in Charleston.

We stayed during a terrible storm but didn’t hear the winds and rain much at all. Thankfully the hotel is situated in the middle of many great restaurants so we were able to dash across the street and next door for great meals.

Enjoyable 6-day stay.

Loved the room - it was on the 3rd floor with a balcony, large, clean, everything we needed. The staff was friendly. Coffee was available during the day. Very nice courtyard to relax, read, have a drink. Had to park the car in a parking garage, but it was nearby. Great location to restaurants, theaters, the water, the market and shopping. Will stay here again.

Spring break

My daughter and I had a studio on the second floor facing the street. It was advertised as each studio having a balcony or patio but no. The room was clean, beautifully decorated and we enjoyed it even without balcony. The building is older so you could hear the people walking back and forth in the room above us. The staff was wonderful! Everyone was friendly and helpful and the location was awesome. It was a very nice experience in Charleston.

Excellent location, nice room, all you could want

I was here for 4 nights. This is a property that is part of a “club membership” arrangement so you may get a low-key pitch for buying a membership. But I enjoyed my stay here a lot. From this location you can walk most anywhere in the historic part of Charleston. There is no breakfast, even though your confirmation or reminder might say so! The room - I would actually call it a mini-suite was on the 3rd floor, in great shape, quiet, view out to the west. Staff very friendly. All in all a great place in Charleston.

This is a timeshare property but we had no pressure to attend anything even though they asked. Location is hod gor eating and walking main tourist areas dowtown. Also noisy and busy at night with mixed verdict on noise level in room: okay most of the time. I loved that the laundry was free and convenient but dont spend the money to valet park as $18 a night parking is close by. I was a bit underwhelmed by rooms and other amenities-no full kitchen, for example.

Had a great week here, even though a snowstorm shut the city down for three days. We stayed in a studio, #211 and were pleasantly surprised to find that it had a gas fireplace. It was nicely equipped for two people for a one week stay. We did hear people walking in the room above us, and sometimes music from the restaurant below. Comcast internet was extremely spotty to non-existent. Also, while there are two big screen TVs, the cable box does not provide an HD signal. Can’t beat the location though, and if we get back to Charleston, we will look to stay here again.

Great Atmosphere

Loved our room and the location was great. Walked everywhere but grabbed an Uber to take in the ball game. Parking was $18/night around the corner in a parkade which we thought was reasonable considering what it costs at home. Only downside to our stay was the loud band playing in the lounge below. We ended up going down and had an awesome time with appies and drinks at the High Cotton. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. They stopped playing around 10 and all was quiet after that.

Great Location

Other reviews warn about a timeshare presentation but we were never approached about that. It’s an old building so naturally it’s noisy but the front desk delivered a box fan at our request which helped a ton! Our room was even better than we thought it was going to be: very spacious and comfortable. We checked in late at 11:00pm without any issues as someone is there 24 hours a day. Very walkable location and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.
