My wife and I came to Charleston for Father's Day to see our daughter. We have been to Charleston many times over the years, but it had 10+ years since we were there last. If we had known about the French Quarter Inn before we would have come for no other reason than to stay there. This 50 room boutique... More

This is a small botique hotel and as other reviewers have indicated, it is in a great location right in the French Quarter and close to great restaurants, historic sites, and shopping. The staff were all extremely friendly and helpful. There is no concierge, so the staff behind the check-in/reservation counter also help with activities/reservations. While the room/bathroom were lovely,... More

The French Quarter Inn deserves it's ranking as the number 1 hotel in Charleston. Everything about our stay was top notch. Champagne on arrival was a welcome refreshment before settling into a lovely room and comfy bed. The wine and cheese happy hour was delicious, as were the breakfast offerings. Coffee and tea service was right outside our door(room 306)... More

Old world accommodation in Historic district. So central we were able to walk everywhere. Hotel is beside market. (Carriage rides from near the market are well worth it )Complimentary wine and cheese each evening was a nice touch. Staff friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

The reason we come back every time is the wonderful staff. When you walk in and are greeted by name after six months you know you are in the right place.

Just returned from a week in Charleston for Spoleto and, because we put our trip together a little at a time, we ended up staying in three different hotels.
