We loved staying at Lodge Alley Inn! Room was perfect and the location is excellent for enjoying life in Charleston. Great experience and we will definitely stay here again.
Excellent stay at Abby Lodge! The location is perfect — an easy walk to the French Quarter and close to everything you’d want to see in Charleston. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and full of helpful information about the area.Our suite was thoughtfully laid out with everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the sitting room was a relaxing spot to unwind. Having a full kitchen was a huge plus — we loved being able to make our own breakfast. The shower was great too, and the provided shampoo, conditioner, and body gel were all good quality.Highly recommend
We had a beautiful well equipped room and sitting area. We loved its proximity to everything we wanted to do and see in downtown Charleston. The staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful in booking tours for us and giving us restaurant recommendations. We were greeted so warmly every time we left and returned. The room was such a pleasant place to return to with a comfortable seating area ( and fireplace which we did not need to use!)
Property managers were very professional and welcoming. We appreciated the upgrade offered to us and we enjoyed our stay at the Snopes. Breakfast was home cooked and very tasty. The only downside is that the property is located on a busy intersection and it is a bit noisy.
Our room was large and very nice with a lot of southern colonial flair, including old wood floor, fireplace, high ceiling and ornate crown moulding. The service at the front desk and concierge desks was great and very helpful. The location in the French quarter was close enough to almost everything we wanted to see, so we were able to walk everywhere. The only negative is our room was on the street side of the building, and sometimes we heard noisy cars late at night. I mentioned this when we were asked by staff how we were enjoying our stay, and they offered us ear plugs, which I declined -- it wasn't that bad. In summary: nice place, good location, helpful staff, and good service.
Very nice room in a preserved older building with exposed brick and local charm.
Cindy checked us in and also checked on us daily- she was very kind and helpful.
Wonderful location!
Only issues are to be expected in an older building such as hearing the footsteps from the room above us.
Delightful property. Faced the street so a bit noisy but quieted out about 10 or 11. All service was friendly and responsive. Didn’t find a pool but didn’t ask
We were greeted by Natalie who helped us check in! She was awesome personified! The Lodge grounds were immaculately clean inside and out as was all of Charleston! The line for our rental was an hour plus wait so we took an Uber! We did not need the car! The location allowed us to walk EVERYWHERE!
The unit is now part of a hotel managed by Hilton Resorts. This happened one week before our arrival. The front desk, concierge, and valet were incrediably professional and accommodating. The host actually called us directly on our first day there to ask if everything was ok - a nice approach. The unit is ideally located in the French Quarter - walking distance to the attractions, wonderful restaurants, and even a full size grocery store. We loved our stay.
