I can't comment on pricing as this was booked for me by a client, but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The room was gorgeous (room 317), and beautifully decorated. Beds were soft and linens felt great, and extras were conveniently located in the closet if we got too cold or needed an extra pillow. I loved the Bath and... More

The first thing that stood out to me was the excellent location of this property. The Lodge Alley is located smack dab right next to Market Street on E Bay Street. You can easily walk to Market Street and enjoy all the fine restaurants and shopping. I stayed in 103 which is right on the courtyard by the fountain. Positives:... More

The Lodge Alley Inn provided comfortable lodging with a prime location for our first visit to Charleston. The lobby is attached to High Cotton's bar where live jazz plays nightly and affordable beer and wine by the glass are available in the early evening. There are excellent restaurants in every direction. The city market is two blocks away. We stayed... More

Stayed at the Lodge Alley Inn with my husband and parents in two separate units. Parents stayed in a one bedroom unit (overlooking an alley) and we stayed in a studio unit overlooking E. Bay. My parents were happy with their unit although they thought ours was nicer due to the interior (exposed brick walls) and the view. Their unit... More

The Lodge Alley Inn is my favorite place to stay in Charleston! The location could not be better and the accomodations are exactly right for feeling the true magic and charm of historical Charleston. We were greeted by Clarence at the door, followed by a warm and friendly interaction with everyone that we encountered. We had a studio which was... More

The Lodge Alley Inn is located in the historic district of Charleston. Park your car and put on your walking shoes because no matter which way you walk you are surrounded by history. Just 1 1/2 blocks from the Inn is the famous Market, 3 blocks Waterfront Park, and just a lovely walk to so many historical places that surround... More

Have stayed at this location twice. The rooms are roomy and spacious. Both times I've stayed, it has been a queen or king room with a pullout couch. There is enough room if by chance we needed to bring an air mattress. The rooms are extremely clean. The beds are comfortable. You can not beat this location. Walk out the... More

Once again our choice of lodging while visiting downtown Charleston was lodge Alley Inn! Had a warm "welcome back, good to see you again!" from Clarence, the always smiling door keeper, and our favorite valet at Lodge Alley! He has been there as long as we have been coming, and we always look forward to seeing him! Our rooms were... More

My husband and I just spent a long weekend at Lodge Alley Inn and loved every second of it! We booked a studio (room 307) and thought it was just perfect for us. Everything was nicely appointed and we loved the microwave, mini-fridge, toaster, coffee maker, plates, glasses and silverware provided. The entire staff was very friendly and made us... More

This hotel is right in the middle of the historic district. Within easy walking distance to many of the sights and restaurants. Unfortunately, since it is an historical building, they could not replace the windows in our room with more sound-proof ones. We could hear every noise in the alley next door. The restaurant next door drug carts up and... More
