Ben and Kevin where fantastic bell hops Manager helped us out immediately with some maintenance issue and we are grateful for his quick response. Front desk was very informative. Only complaint would be bartender was split between another bar so we would have to ask front desk to call them over everyday of our stay. But bartenders where Great at making drinks when onsite

Can't wait to go back!

Had the best stay at the French Quarter Inn! I went with a friend, but it would have been great for a romantic getaway, too. All of the staff were attentive, professional and personable. The amenities were very nice. Breakfast, cheese and wine, and night time cookies and milk were all delicious, nicely displayed, and well attended. Housekeeping was amazing. Nightly turn down service was the icing on the cake. It felt like such a nice place without feeling stuffy. The location could not be beat. This is one of the top accommodations I have ever enjoyed.

One of the best hotels I have had the pleasure of staying at. This place checks all the boxes. From the complementary champagne at check in to all the cookie socials. The property is extremely clean and quiet. Its charm is second to none and the staff truly go the extra mile to make their guests feel special. 10/10 would stay and recommend this place for couples in downtown Charleston. The only thing I would say is leave the littles at home because there isn’t a ton for kids under 10, and that’s the entire city.

The breakfast was great. Scrambled eggs and lots of fruit coffee, yogurt etc. was what we often eat at home. Healthy and tasty. Water was always available as the tap water wasn't up to par. Fresh, clean water in cans. The afternoon wine and cheese was something we enjoyed very much as well my husband liked the milk & cookie event in the later evening.

Everything is excellent. The receptions in the afternoon & at night are great. I had the best sugar cookie ever. The only problem is filling out this survey which is not very accessible for someone who is using screen reader to fill out the survey.

We loved our stay here. Carson at the front desk was so pleasant, along with all of the employees. The extra amenities like the pillow menu and nightly milk and cookies made this a top notch experience. My only disappointment was that the had to do pipe repairs while we were there and had no water from 10 pm to 6 am. We certainly understood that these things happen and the staff was very accommodating. However, considering the higher rate this hotel charges, i think it would have been good business to offer a small accommodation (whether it be money off or a discount on a future stay). The hotel goes above and beyond on all areas and something extra like this would have followed suit. Overall it was a fabulous experience!

We had an excellent stay at French Quarter Inn! Beautiful hotel, with a lot of nice added touches such as the fabulous breakfast and wine and cheese/wine offered every day. The staff were all friendly and attentive to any need we had. The hotel is in a great location, most every tourist thing we did was in walking distance as were all of the wonderful restaurants. We highly recommend French Quarter Inn!
