“Charming hotel with a few drawbacks”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

This is a very friendly, cozy hotel in a central location in Charleston. It is well decorated and comfortable but could be better if 1) the bathrooms were bigger. The one in our room was small with one little sink, and 2) they provided premium cable service and movies on demand which even Holiday Inns have. Also 3) parts of the room were not well cleaned and we had to ask for housekeeping to take care of the overlooked areas.

The concierege and front desk people were helpful and kind. The bed was comfortable and the reakfast was good too. Overall a pleasant experience with a few disatisfactions

Thank you for sharing your experience here at the Vendue Inn and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay.
I am mostly pleased you enjoyed our helpful & kind staff, our made to order breakfasts and our plush bedding. We hope you also had the opportunity to enjoy the afternoon manager’s reception with wine & hors d’oeuvres, complimentary beach cruisers and our evening cookies & milk.
We view guest comments as opportunities to better serve our guest’s needs and we will take your suggestions for cable into consideration. Also, I while our standard queen rooms are modest in size, they are comparable to other historic hotels in Charleston. In the future, please consider our junior suites with large soaking tubs and separate showers for a more expansive bathroom.
Again, Thank you for your comments and we look forward to the opportunity to see you in the future.

“Great place to be”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Visited for one night in Sept for our 25th anniversary trip. Had a "basic" room. Wow. Really nice. Perfectly appointed. Fantastic location. Relaxed for hours at the rooftop bar. Tremendous view. Excellent customer service from the staff.

“Charleston is Wonderful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

Charleston SC is a great city - highly recommended. The Vendue Inn is quaint, room was not as nice as I thought it would be. Bathroom nothing special. Location was great and the staff was very helpfull.

One thing that bothered us was poor selection on the TV. No pay per view movies and limited selection of channels. No big deal but after a day of walking, dinner and a few stops a night spots we were looking forward to lounging around in the AM or late night and watch tv, as at home we get very little "down time".

One other thing - we had to call twice for toliet paper, not sure why there was none left in the room when the maid did the room, seemed very strange.

All in all nice place, but could be nicer, especially for the price.

“Wonderful Stay At the Vendue Inn”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

The Vendue Inn is a wonderful place to stay when you're visiting Charleston SC. The staff is laser focused on terrific customer service. The location is in walking distance all that Charleston has to offer. I highly recommend the Vendue Inn.

Room Tip: Our first floor room was very comfortable with a fireplace.

“Vendue Inn Janunary 2013”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

Our third stay at the Vendue Inn proved to be an exceptional experience. The staff was friendly and exceptionally helpful. We had a lovely king room with a fireplace that was a perfect touch for a January visit to Charleston. The Inn, while retaining all of it';s historic charm was efficient and in great working order. We've recommended the Vendue Inn to several couples that have stayed there and our recommendations will continue to all visiting the Charleston area.

Room Tip: The king suite with the fireplace is a wonderful room.
