Cozy Charleston Getaway

By far the best place ive stayed in a while. The area was clean and quiet. Self check in process was easy. The bike rental concept was great. I enjoyed exploring Charleston on a bike. Breakfast offered was simple and accommodating.

SO CUTE! we stayed in room 3 and everything was stunning. We spent a lot of time on the verandah, which was gorgeous shared space. The breakfast, snacks and drinks were an awesome extra.

The Ashley felt like staying at an old Bed & Breakfast, without having to socialize with anyone😊 Breakfast sandwiches were prepared and left in a warmer every morning, along with fruits, parfaits and beverages. The place was beautifully decorated and the location was perfect!

Loved, Loved the shower and bed. Instructions from property regarding parking were detrimental to enjoying the parts. Information for WiFi didn’t tell you the name of the network so when you try to connect to TheAshley it fails. That’s not the network for you. 😳 They should tell you on each room listing how many stairs you have to climb to get to your room and when they say take the back stairs from the parking area, they don’t mean the skinny spiral staircase. Finally, the parking area is NOT behind the building. The Ashley is at the corner of Ashley and Bee and the parking area is at the Bee St entrance.

The room wise nice, comfortable bed. Decor nice. The breakfast was a huge disappointment and not as advertised. There is no front desk and the only person available to talk to were the people who clean the rooms. When asked about the food that was advertised her answer was “we ran out”. It’s also not in the French Quarter and we had to drive to get there and pay a lot to park. I would recommend staying directly in the French Quarter.

Stayed overnight on our way to Florida and would stay again! Yes the hotel is old but what do you expect? It’s very well kept very clean and we loved the location and boutique feel! We will be coming back next time we are in Charleston! Would not recommend for elderly people as they do have stairs that are steep so plan according! But my almost 2 year old had no issue so I would say kid friendly!

Room 2 was loud in the very early am. Could hear all movement on the stairs- probably to be expected in historic property, but there was also loud construction or some kind of engine nearby starting at 6 am every day including the weekend. Couldnt figure out the thermostat so it was cold at night. Also they wouldnt give us a late checkout, which I understand but was still a bit frustrating. A warning about the early morning noise would be nice.

Nice lodgings

Beautiful lodging, super convenient location. My only complaint is that there was not "regular" decaf coffee, only espresso machine with creamer in the lobby.

Feedback from room 5&6

I booked two rooms for trip with friends. There are a couple things I want to share for better service in the future. 1. Breakfast was served at 1st FL and coffee maker was broken. Many of customers were not happy. 2. Coffee maker at room 5 was broken too. 3. Air filter was super noisy at room 5&6. 4. Toilet in room 6 was kept flashing. 5. Bath soap bottle in shower room at room 6 was broken.

Even though there were no staff on site, everything we needed was available. The room was clean, attractive and the bed was comfortable. We had direct access to the large second floor porch. We took the complimentary bikes down Ashley St. and around the Citadel. Breakfast was good (but only coffee mate for coffee). Would definitely stay again.
