We stayed at the French Quarter Inn for two nights in late October when our travel plans changed and we had to pick up our cruise in Charleston instead of NYC. The front desk staff were very friendly and check-in was quick and easy (the glasses of sparking wine didn't hurt!). The hotel is nicely located in downtown Charleston - near one of the best restaurant areas and also the cruise ship area. Perfect for our needs.

Our room was clean and comfortable. One suggestion I would offer to the hotel, though, is to make better use of the spacious bathroom - you could do something quite exceptional in that space. We took advantage of the continental breakfast each morning, the M&Ms and Jelly Bellies during the day and the cookies and milk in the evening. Quite lovely amenities! The hotel was quiet, with the exception of the very loud garbage pick-up at 7a.m. each morning (not within the hotel's control).

I would definitely stay here again!

We recently returned from a stay at FQI. As most everyone has mentioned, the staff at the hotel are true hospitality professionals. You don't get the sense that's there's only about 50 rooms because there seems to be that many folks working. The service and amenities shine. During the afternoon, you could sip on...wait on it...9 complimentary beverages (not including the welcome flute of bubbles).They served regular & decaf coffee, 12 varieties of very good tea. Here it's worth noting that all of this is served on china, glass & silver, including lemons and mini jars of honey. Also available was peach tea, lemonade, detox orange water (?), egg nog, apple cider, and hot chocolate with all the trimmings including candy canes, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The wine & cheese was also all served on CG&S. The cookies in the evening were warm and the milk was cold. We didn't see the breakfast spread as we had it delivered at the appointed time by a lovely server on a tray filled with a vast assortment you customize the night before on a menu left on your bed. Speaking of the bed, it was the highlight of our junior suite. Very comfy. The room itself was large with a fireplace and HUGE terrace which included seating for 8 and could easily accommodate 20 visitors (not that we know 20 Charleston folks). The room was showing some signs of high occupancy wear & tear- especially the walls and corners. The bathroom was also large and included nice bath amenities. My only real complaint considering the price point and 4 diamond rating were the towels. While the bedding linens were top notch, the towels were run-of-the-mill and graying. I would have loved bath sheets and plusher, whiter terry. That may be splitting hairs but for $300/night, your expectations run high. The FQI met those expectations and the staff shined throughout our stay. There are plenty of opportunities to tip for excellent service and you should ensure you have plenty of cash to properly extend your appreciation for the true southern hospitality.

WHAT A TREAT TO STAY HERE! My mother and I took a trip to Charleston this year and after reading numerous reviews about this place, decided to stay! I am so thankful we did! Starting with a wonderful greeting from Jordan, the awesome valet/bellman, to Michelle and Glori at the front desk. I would also like to thank Scott. This entire staff was just unbelievable really. Always friendly, always willing to answer questions, always a pleasant greeting! Every member of the French Quarter Inn team was truly first class. The staff alone is enough to make your stay extraordinary...however, all the hotel amenities are FANTASTIC! The wine and cheese hour (AND A HALF!), the milk and cookies hour (AND A HALF!), and the pillow menu...I mean, really?? We were there around the holidays, so they also had fresh coffee, lemonade, tea, eggnog, hot cocoa, and hot apple cider in the lobby...with all the fixins'!!! The rooms were spacious and housecleaning did a wonderful job each day..and night(not to forget the nightly turn down service with fresh chocolates!!!!!!!)!

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel to anyone! This is the place to stay in Charleston...did I mention that it is also in a great location for walking almost everywhere in the historic downtown area!!! I will be back, that's for sure!

This place has thought of everything you might need or want in accommodations. Our party of three couples stayed two nights while we visited the sights of Charleston in late November. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed champagne at check-in, wine and cheese in the afternoons, and warm cookies and port at 8:30. What a nice touch to have coffee and tea stations in the hallway to enjoy while you are getting ready in the mornings plus a paper at your door. And the complimentary breakfast was substantial compared to many other hotels and B&Bs we've visited.
