Fire Tower

Downtown Charleston

10/10 Excellent

Great location with well-appointed amenities. An overall excellent value. The only two things I would caution future guests about are the noise from the two bars located directly behind the property and the lack of soundproofing between units. While neither was a major issue for my husband and me, I do think they're worth mentioning. The bars were particularly loud on Friday and Saturday nights, and we could consistently hear guests in both the neighboring unit and the one above us. If you're a...

The Vendue

Charleston Historic District

10/10 Excellent

Art hotel with art tour!! The location was mint!! It was walking distance from everything you could possibly want to do in downtown Charleston. Also, there was a restaurant in the hotel plus a rooftop bar. This is really a perfect place for couples or people celebrating something. This is not a quiet place so remember there’s going to be a lot of people, but the rooms are quiet and they do a great job with the curtains on the windows to block out noise from the street. But if you’re looking for...

Fulton Lane Inn

Charleston Historic District

10/10 Excellent

The location was perfect and the staff was extremely helpful with finding great dining experiences. Park your car and leave the keys in the room because walking the city is half the experience and this location is perfect. Several previous reviews complained about the noise, but we found it minimum. Besides, when you book a hotel in the heart of a busy city and expect complete silence that's your fault. Stay at Fulton Lane Inn and you will not be disappointed.

Travis

A spacious loft-style living area with high ceilings, exposed wooden beams, and a mezzanine level.

The Ansonborough

Charleston Historic District

10/10 Excellent

The ansonborough is a charming and welcoming place with a character that makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. Staff is super and conveniently located to bistros and Charleston happenings. Complimentary continental breakfast in a box was disappointing. An on site continental breakfast with pastries cereal and fruit options a better way to go. Otherwise would highly recommend, great people, location and hotel
