Hotel is in a great location for dining, shopping and sight-seeing. There is an efficiency kitchen which is convenient. Lots of space in the two level suite.It is a bit run down but basically clean. I was surprised at how unfriendly the checkin clerk was at our arrival. I have never posted this type of negative review but this was over the top. As we were waiting to complete our registration, the clerk was very unfriendly to some people who came in to check out the hotel for the future.

I chose this hotel because of the location, the beautiful pictures and the "award winning" designation on Travelocity. Only one of those three things is true...it is in a prime location for touring Charleston. But there are a lot of properties in this location that do not look nearly as run down...especially for the price ($943 for three nights). You discover at check-in that housekeeping takes place every two days, not including Sunday...so no housekeeping during our stay. The entrance and front desk look like the entrance to a New York subway station, and the "welcome" was, by far, the least welcoming I've received in any hotel. The rooms themselves are clean and quiet, which is one redeeming factor once you make it through the eyesore of the front lobby. I couldn't help but notice a lot of disappointed looks on the faces of other guests as they first stepped in to the Church Street Inn. If the price was under $100, no problem. But with a premium $300+ price point, this place does not measure up. Charleston is an amazing place to visit...but spend your evenings in a different hotel.

Only Stay if You Like Extra Charges

My friends and I booked two rooms. When I got there minutes before them and checked in, they charged my card for the entire stay (not a hold), plus incidentals. They did not do that for my friends when they checked in. When I found out, I questioned it. They said it was their policy to charge the whole amount, so they lied to my face because they screwed up. When we checked out we said we wanted to split the bill. They said they would issue me a credit me for two-thirds. (takes 7-10 days, so I get to pay the interest). Then they gave me a receipt that didn't show the correct amount they charged. They said they would waive the parking fee and "not to worry" that it showed I had a balance due. When I looked at my credit card statement, they charged me not once but TWICE for the full amount plus incidentals, then another $75 incidental fee and then a mystery charge for ANOTHER $722 that had nothing to do with me. Of course when I called to talk to a manger, they weren't in yet. When I called Choice Hotels (they were very nice) they couldn't do anything for me and could see the $722 charge related to another person but couldn't tell me anything. Between the time I have wasted and the interest charges, I would NEVER recommend this hotel to anyone!!
