Great location downtown. Was able to walk to all the bars and restaurants. A small grocery store is across the street to pick up a few things for the room.

The facility was very nice but we could hear people in the hallways and the room next to ours. Also, we were awakened just before 6:40 am with a very loud and persistent noise that lasted nearly 10 minutes.

The hotel is wonderful from start to finish. The building was an old printing press business and the renovation is very well done. The rooms have high ceilings, big windows and a marble coffee bar space. The bathroom is well laid out with beautiful map wallpaper. I found everyone who worked there extremely pleasant-from the late night front desk manager to the day manager to the lovely woman who helped at breakfast. Bonus is the beautiful rooftop bar.

We stayed for 2 nights in a double queen room and had a wonderful stay. Hotel was very clean, beds comfy and the decor / style of the hotel was lovely. The rooftop garden was also a fun place to spend time! Shaquana at the front desk was exemplary - she gave us great restaurant recommendations and greeted us with a smile each day. She also held our bags when we arrived before checking/ before we flew home so we didn’t have to drag them around the city. We really appreciated Shaquana’s attitude and positivity, and hope she is recognized as the most put-together and kind staff member of the check in desk department. The continental (included) breakfast was a muffin, small cup of fruit and small cup of juice - all breakfast must be ordered ahead of time via QR code, there is no buffet option. Muffins were a bit dry but the fruit was very fresh. I think the managers special with wine and cheese is no longer a thing- but there was tea and coffee available in the lobby. There are upgrades for paid options if you wish but we opted for restaurants in the area for breakfast. Overall, would recommend and return.

The Ansonborough is a beautiful hotel with great staff and service. Our room on the first floor was very large with what looked like a 16-foot ceiling. The style is like warehouse-modern. Unlike some other customers, we really enjoyed ordering breakfast (complimentary and paid-for items) through their web-based "scan QR code" site. Now, after having read another review about a "sewage" smell before we went, I can now confirm that there is a slight sewage smell in our first floor room. However, this is not the fault of the hotel but, rather, an issue with some sewer sidewalk caps outside on Hasell street. Perhaps Charleston dept of public works can fix that. Also, some thin walls. I strongly dislike hearing people right outside on the sidewalk chatting for an hour at 11pm as well as hearing a neighboring room playing loud music albeit prior to 9pm. Other than that, great hotel. Get a room on 2nd floor or higher.

We had an excellent stay from check in to check out. Spacious junior suite with separate living area which was perfect for traveling with our dog. Very friendly staff. Short stay so we didn't get a chance to try the bar but breakfast was convenient. Will definitely stay again.

My husband and I stayed here 2 years ago and we enjoyed our stay so much with the complimentary wine/cheese (5-6pm) and the very delicious complimentary breakfast. We were excited to come back but we were unfortunately a bit disappointed…there was no complimentary wine/cheese and the breakfast was not the same because the free breakfast was just a continental breakfast in a bag (anything else was a la carte at a cost). We loved how social and how much variety the breakfast was before with a nice buffet. The staff tried to be polite and courteous when we brought up any concerns throughout our stay. We were mostly excited to come back for the nice breakfast and the wine/cheese tasting but we understand things have changed because of remodeling and things out of our control. We felt like we were back in Covid quarantine times. Unfortunately we will probably not be returning…unless things change ;)
