Sandy at the front desk was great. But, I was a little disappointed with the hotel. For the price, I expected a nicer place. It looked a little "tired" to me -- and that does not mean it isn't good to be old and historic. I have stayed in many places in Europe, Africa, and Asia that date to a... More

The positives: excellent location. It is centrally located to everything Charleston has to offer. The staff was good. Specifically one gentleman (who's name escapes me), was very cordial and offered some great advice of things to do in Charleston. The room was clean and well-kept. The negatives: very small room. We were very cramped in our room with two twin... More

Two friends and I recently stayed at the AP Inn recently and had a most wonderful experience. The entire staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful and generally making our staff memorable. Morning breakfast (complimentary) on the rooftop was an excellent start to our sightseeing escapades. The inn is located in the heart of where you need to... More

I've been to Charleston many times and this is one of my favorite places to stay. We had a huge room...the townhouse room with our own balcony and it was very reasonably priced! Loved the breakfast and the free pass to the ECO gym. Great location and wonderful staff!

My husband and I recently stayed here for 4 nights. Our room had really old wood floors and very nice crown molding. It was very clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom was a little tight, but also nicely furnished. Breakfast was good. They offered biscuits and gravy, fruit, cereal, pastries, and a different type of casserole each day. The front...

I think the title sums it up. Location is great but the room was not all that for the money. I guess they know they can get it and don't care about the quality. The staff was friendly...rooms were just lame for the price. Look somewhere else.

What a lovely hotel right in the middle of down town old Charleston, bags of charm and old style hospitality. Easy to book and deal with, real friendly and helpful staff, very comfortable rooms with all you need for a visit to Charleston.

We were able to spend just a day in Charleston but staying at API gave us a sense of the charm and ambiance of the city. The expanded continental breakfast in that delightful setting on the rooftop was a special treat. The location was great. If I were to visit again, I would probably check some nearby accommodations.

As everybody else has pointed out this Inn is very well located, well within walking distance of Charleston's many attractions. Our room was lovely with nice big comfy beds and a view, even if it was just buildings and a line with trainers hanging from it. The reception area is outstanding with coffee, lemon drink and biscuits available. One very... More
