We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We arrived late and were greeted with champagne and ladyfingers plus cookies were available. We got recommendations for places to eat that were excellent. Our room was lovely; we especially enjoyed breakfast in our room served by a very accommodating staff.

We recently stayed at the French Quarter Inn in Charleston and had a wonderful time. Firstly, we were greeted by the bell boy who took care of our luggage whilst we checked into the hotel. The reception staff were so helpful with the check in and gave us a glass of champagne on arrival. They gave us the room keys... More

We stayed at the French Quarter Inn for 4 nights after our wedding, and it was perfect! Great location, we were able to walk everywhere. Continental breakfast was delivered to our room every morning right on time. We loved the wine/cheese and cookies in the lobby each evening. The staff was extremely friendly, and helped us book a private carriage... More

Great location, and even better staff! I am in a wheelchair and never even had to ask for help. I wanted to take the bed home, and finding a "pillow menu" with 7 selections to pick from, well need I say more?

Great location very close (walking distance) to a lot of attractions. Middle of downtown but still quite environment. Cheese and wine every afternoon, water and refreshments available in Lobby all day and cookie with milk before bed. No more words needed! Two things missing for me to give it 5 stars - fitness room and garden.

This is a lovely small hotel. Top notch service and beautifully decorated throughout. Central location and the restaurant attached: Tristan is excellent. Great breakfast and afternoon wine and snacks as well as cookies and coffee in the evening.

As a Charleston native, I visit at least two or three times a year and we make our headquarters at the French Quarter Inn. We've tried the Planters Inn and Charleston Place, but no other hotel can compare for the hospitality, luxury, location, and value. The staff is fabulous, the rooms are lovely, the location is central, and the amenities... More
