“Service and ambiance”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Charming with wonderful service. Delicious breakfast, attentive staff and good value. Rooms are clean and charming. Love the rooftop bar. Wonderful restaurants nearby and right at the Waterfront park area. Perfect location for seeing Charleston!

“Wonderful and gracious Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We could not have chosen a better place to stay. The location is right in the middle of downtown Charleston. We could walk or bike everywhere. ( they have bikes to use )
The continental breakfast that was included in our room price was beyond our expectations.
The hotel staff was gracious and most helpful. We would highly recommend this Inn.

“Best location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012 via mobile

We stayed at Vendue Inn while attending a family wedding. The location was unbeatable. We walked everywhere and really enjoyed being close to all the action. Our only complaint was the early morning noise from outside when the trash truck came to collect things. The room was small but nicely decorated with a small Juliet balcony. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again in the future.

“great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

stayed at the Vendue for 4 nights. the staff is very nice and helpful but the housekeeping stinks. we were first put in a room across the street in a parking lot! then we were shown 3 other rooms and ended up with one in the main building on the 3rd floor with 3 large windows that didn't open so the AC had to be run constantly. the bed is very comfy, the bathroom a bit "tight" ... we had no bathtub and the shower doors were installed backwards so turning on the shower was a bit awkward. we had friends staying at the same time and they were upgraded when they checked in, we weren't and we thought we had booked the same category of rooms! so I guess there are several to pick from. our room was large enough, not enough electrical outlets to charge your phone and computer. the wine hour each night is very nice and generous. the breakfasts are very good. my 2 complaints are terrible maid service, our friends had excellent maid service though. one day our room was never cleaned. we had 2 days of no hand towels or shampoo etc. and my bedside table was never cleaned off and the room was never vacuumed. also the room and bathroom are very dark. they could both use more lights on dimmers. the full length mirror is in the closet of all places so hard to see yourself. the hotel has odd stairs so it's not easy hauling your suitcases around. but the location is very good, close too lots of restaurants

Room Tip: get a room with lots of windows and not in the back parking lot

“No excuse for the quality of the bed and the noise of the heating system”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012

This is a beautiful inn as others have said ... it is clean and the staff is great... very friendly and willing to help. There is, however, no excuse for the poor quality of the bed... firmness is a matter of each person's taste.. but the mattress in our room was just awful .. one of the worst beds I have ever seen in any hotel anywhere without question. Then there was the heating system... the noise was loud... very loud... wake you up loud...thank goodness we had turned the thing down so that it came on toward the morning... once it came on you were up out of the awful bed. I am sorry to have to review the Vendue Inn in such negative terms but if a hotel has an uncomfortable bed and loud noise in the room does anything else matter? We cut our stay here short and checked out. Such a shame........

Room Tip: check out the bed and the noise level

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at the Vendue Inn.
We are committed to providing a top-notch experience for every guest and we are disappointed that we missed the mark during your stay. We usually receive high praises on our bedding from the majority of our guests, but sadly it was not to your level of comfort.
We do take noise very seriously and although historic buildings do not have the sound insulation characteristics of modern buildings, we have put a lot of effort into trying to close the gap.
Ultimately, if you cannot sleep, you cannot be happy and we only wish you happiness wherever life leads you.
