We used to stay at the Ansonborough once a month for several years when I was working in Charleston. We enjoyed the old timbers and three story atrium. Each room is unique which makes it fun. It has several years since we stayed and they have done some renovations that clearly weren’t thought out well. The charming lobby has been modernized and doesn’t fit with the previous decor at all. The dining room has been refurnished and made it hard to find a seat to eat. Mainly lounge chairs. They removed the tv where you could watch the news while having breakfast. They made the dining room smaller in order to create a “hidden” room for poker. Cute but claustrophobic in there. Sadly, They used to leave a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies out every night but that’s gone now. I think we’ve stayed at the Ansonborough for the last time.

We stayed in the two story with loft during Thanksgiving. Traveling with a 10&16 year old - this was perfect! They had their own space and my husband and I had ours after long days walking and shopping. The area is quiet but always felt safe. The staff was great as well.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Front desk staff were professional and polite. As others have said before, cleanliness was an issue. The room looked tidy upon entering but closer inspection it showed dust and dirt around the corners, nightstands, bed and inside the closet, in general the carpet was very dusty. My husband and I were sneezing and stuffed up all night. I requested a vacuum the next and the lady that brought it to my door was very rude. She was accompanied by a young employee and when I thanked her, she turned around and told the young lady: “make sure you do it right so this doesn’t happen again” while pointing at me. She walked away without a word. I was dumbfounded and felt bad for the young employee. The manager had offered to send someone to do a thorough cleaning but I declined as I had already cleaned myself. Look at the photos. There’s a grocery store across the hotel which is conveniently located near restaurants and shopping but it’s still quiet at night. Rooms and restrooms are large and have a mini fridge, no microwave. Mattress is not very supportive and sinks a bit. The low rating is due to lack of cleanliness. Look at the photos, that dirt came all from flat surfaces like night stands, headboard, light switches and table.

Great location. Large suite. Clean. Excellent service. Good breakfast. Nice bar and great bar tender. They go out of their way to help you. I had a bad throat - we got some soup from the nearby Harris teeter, and the guy went into the kitchen and heated the soup for me. Over and above. Would stay here again.
