Great breakfast with the option to have it delivered to your room at a specified time or enjoy the breakfast buffet sitting outside or inside., Additionally the hotel has a nice happy hour offering an array of free wines and drinks along with a very nice spread of appetizers. They also provide dessert every evening along with their signature M&Ms. The staff were all very friendly and eager to provide assistance on anything.

The best part of staying here is the service. From arrival, the valet staff took the luggage to the room, and the front desk staff was amazing. They have breakfast as a buffet, or you can order in your room. There is wine and cheese, and cookies in the evening. The location is perfect. We could walk to many restaurants/stores and the market is just around the corner.

The lights in the bathroom are dim.

Our room was very beautiful, and quiet!!! We loved all the extra touches, and attention to details: chilled champagne upon arrival, classical music playing in our room upon arrival, nice welcome note from housekeeping, nightly turn down service, extra towels in room (2 sets per person), complimentary room service for breakfast, nightly cookies & milk, evening charcuterie & wine, the robes were so comfortable. Wonderful housekeeping and staff! The location was perfect!

Bottled water instead of the canned water would be great for taking on the go when riding the hotel bikes, music playing in the lobby would be nice. The lobby furniture is looking worn.

I had written beforehand that our one night stay was a special birthday present for my sister's 70th birthday and my 75th. When we went up to our room there was a beautiful small birthday cake and a bottle of champagne with a welcoming letter from the Manager. This was just one of the high points of staying in this beautiful, personal, hotel. The breakfast was amazing with the highest mountain of smoked salmon, fresh berries and homemade popovers among the selections. A happy hour feast with cheese, charcuterie, fresh and dried fruits, olives and other crudites. And milk, homemade cookies and a glass of port before bedtime. Other family members were staying at a nearby hotel but they were welcomed by staff and encouraged to join us. The knowledgeable concierge booked us into a delightful restaurant on short notice and provided tips to get the most from our only 24 hours in the city. With a pillow menu upon check-in, the best bacon/chili jam I have ever tasted, iced water, lemonade and tea available 24/7, along with fresh fruit and sweets, this is the friendliest and best hotel, more like staying in a large country house with friends. Oh yes, a view overlooking the market and smack dab in the middle of the French Quarter.

Leaving. Wish we could have stayed longer.

From the moment we arrived at The French Quarter Inn in Charleston, we were treated like cherished guests rather than just visitors. The staff is nothing short of exceptional-warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making your stay unforgettable. Every detail here is thoughtful and charming. Breakfast each morning was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The afternoon wine and cheese felt like a special treat, and the evening cookies, milk, and coffee were the perfect way to wind down after exploring the city. During our trip, we had an unexpected issue with our next destination. The manager and team at The French Quarter Inn went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowing us to extend our stay without a hitch. Their kindness and quick action turned what could have been a stressful situation into a comforting and memorable experience. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and welcoming-but itโ€™s truly the people here who make the difference. I have nothing but praise for this hotel and its staff. We canโ€™t wait to return!

From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly. The inn has an old-fashioned feel, but the facilities are modern and the bedroom was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and we really enjoyed the opportunity to sit outside for it. We also enjoyed the nice touch of free wine and port receptions that enhanced the feel on being at an inn. Location could not be better being right in the heart of old Charleston.

Limited parking and parking is a bit of a hassle around Charleston.

The French Quarter Inn was a great spot close to the Market. It was an easy walk to explore the Market, the Waterfront park, dining and shopping. The Inn itself was lovely and light filled. The room was spacious and clean. I absolutely loved the Pillow Menu! My husband and I like different types of pillows and we both got exactly what we needed. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that a variety of cold (and hot) drinks were available in the lobby at all times during our stay. In fact, the food here went beyond what I had imagined. The breakfast included cold and hot choices, yogurt and eggs to meats, cheeses and pastries. And lots of fresh fruit. It was all fresh and delicious. The wine & cheese hour was the nicest surprise ... I knew there was one, and I have enjoyed this amenity at inns before ... but at the French Quarter, there were actually several choices of wine (including Prosecco) and quite a spread of cheeses, meats, nuts and other accoutrements. We took ours out to one of the sundecks upstairs. Cookies and milk in the evening was another treat. Oh, and the candy bar! That was another fun surprise. My husband enjoyed the fitness room during our stay. There are also bikes to borrow, but we did not take that opportunity. Overall, a really wonderful stay. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

The hotel far exceeded our expectations. From the excellent and wide range of items available for breakfast, to the afternoon happy hour at 5.30pm where there was a good quality wine plus high quality snacks available, to the evening cookies the overall standard was excellent. Staff were friendly and the room comfortable with plenty of space to unpack. The bathroom was of a good size, with a good shower. Location was great, with many restaurants close by.

Location was excellent. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The young ladies at the front desk were outstanding ! Breakfast was good. Linda was extremely friendly and her personality added a nice touch to our stay. The staff that we experienced were wonderful.

Our room wasnโ€™t as clean as it should have been. For an establishment like that and the room rate charged, I expected the room to be extremely clean. . Lamp shade had spatters of some substance on them, the bathroom floor was sticky on one side and one of the beds in our double queen room looked like the sheets had not been changed from a previous guest. We had to request for these things to be corrected. Carmen at the front desk did an outstanding job at handling the situation. The floor in the elevator was dirty from the time we got there to the time we left.
