“Incredible hotel - well worth the cost!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 10, 2012

I was skeptical about the experience of this hotel adding up to the cost. The French Quarter Inn isn't the most outstanding/unique hotel from outward appearance, but don't be fooled. This was one of the top hotels I've stayed in and I highly recommend! Great service from beginning to end. The atmosphere was fantastic and the interior is decorated superbly. Details that made the experience the most memorable: wine and cheese & cookie and milk receptions nightly, very nice Continental breakfast each morning, turn down service nightly, very comfortable beds and too many other details to mention. The staff was extremely helpful and nice! We will surely stay in this hotel on our return trip to Charleston.

“Worthy of the 4 Diamond Rating”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

I have worked in many hotels and traveled in the U.S., Europe, and the Mideast and the French Quarter Inn is by far the BEST hotel in my opinion. As soon as you drive up the bellmen greet you warmly, Glori and Michelle at the front desk were very accommodating and friendly. Scott the Guest Service Manager was a delight to talk with as he checked in with my mom and myself throughout our stay. Raya at the breakfast was gracious making sure that we had all that we needed. Unfortunately I did not get everyone's name but everyone I came in contact with was friendly always checked to see if there was anything we needed. The complimentary breakfast, champagne at check in, wine and cheese, cookies, & turndown service were the icing on the cake! Will be back soon.

Room Tip: Room 106 with 2 queen beds was large and comfortable. Facing the City Market the view was great. The...

“Loved it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

We stayed here for two days. Everything was excellent! This hotel is located in a great area, and the staff was wonderful! We were extremely impressed with how clean they keep everything in the hotel. We loved everything that this hotel has to offer!!!! I don't think you can go wrong with this hotel. I cannot wait to go back to Charleston since this was our first visit there, and I cannot wait to stay at the French Quarter Inn again.

“Outstanding hotel and great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

One of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Great rooms and great services. The staff and management were wonderful. The hotel is located down town Charleston, SC and is within walking distant to the historic market and shops. My wife and I will stay there again.

Location and hotel great, evening wine reception a lovely touch and the nightly cookies were a big hit with the kids. We even had a bottle of champagne to greet us in our room on arrival to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary! Thank you!
