Top Washington Square Hotel Reviews

French Quarter Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and welcoming, even helping with reservations"

The Meeting Street Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Last time I stayed was 40 years ago, and I felt at home the moment I walked in the lobby to check in..lots of memories, I stayed there at least once a week for at least 5 years until I moved north and almost everything is the same with the exception of some upgrades…..I wish the rest of downtown Charleston retained its charm like The Meeting Street Inn."

The Vendue

8/10 Good

"We arrived early but our rooms were not ready until much later than 4:00. We ended up waiting for over an hour in the lobby, which was not the best but we were able to review the art pieces. We did not start with the right foot. The rooms were very large but unfortunately we got them on the side of Bay St. and it was pretty noisy outside. The location is great. Very comfortable bed and very strong shower."

The Francis Marion Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and in a great location. Any type of cuisine you could want is within a 10 minute walk along with lots of restaurants serving up local fare. Staff was super helpful and for a hotel that is over 100 years old, it was very well kept and clean. Only complaint is that beds are full size, not queen so be sure to pay close attention when booking. I did not and found it difficult for our party of 3 to sleep in only two beds. Staff was amazing about bringing in a twin size roll away when I asked for one... but it unfortunately was also very uncomfortable. And the Starbucks was closed. Those are my only complaints. Otherwise hotel was absolutely BEAUTIFUL and in a great location. We were only there for a weekend but we really enjoyed our stay in Charleston."
