From the moment we arrived at The French Quarter Inn in Charleston, we were treated like cherished guests rather than just visitors. The staff is nothing short of exceptional-warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making your stay unforgettable. Every detail here is thoughtful and charming. Breakfast each morning was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The afternoon wine and cheese felt like a special treat, and the evening cookies, milk, and coffee were the perfect way to wind down after exploring the city. During our trip, we had an unexpected issue with our next destination. The manager and team at The French Quarter Inn went above and beyond to accommodate us, allowing us to extend our stay without a hitch. Their kindness and quick action turned what could have been a stressful situation into a comforting and memorable experience. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and welcoming-but it’s truly the people here who make the difference. I have nothing but praise for this hotel and its staff. We can’t wait to return!

Our room was very beautiful, and quiet!!! We loved all the extra touches, and attention to details: chilled champagne upon arrival, classical music playing in our room upon arrival, nice welcome note from housekeeping, nightly turn down service, extra towels in room (2 sets per person), complimentary room service for breakfast, nightly cookies & milk, evening charcuterie & wine, the robes were so comfortable. Wonderful housekeeping and staff! The location was perfect!

Bottled water instead of the canned water would be great for taking on the go when riding the hotel bikes, music playing in the lobby would be nice. The lobby furniture is looking worn.

The French Quarter Inn was a great spot close to the Market. It was an easy walk to explore the Market, the Waterfront park, dining and shopping. The Inn itself was lovely and light filled. The room was spacious and clean. I absolutely loved the Pillow Menu! My husband and I like different types of pillows and we both got exactly what we needed. Every member of the staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. We really appreciated that a variety of cold (and hot) drinks were available in the lobby at all times during our stay. In fact, the food here went beyond what I had imagined. The breakfast included cold and hot choices, yogurt and eggs to meats, cheeses and pastries. And lots of fresh fruit. It was all fresh and delicious. The wine & cheese hour was the nicest surprise ... I knew there was one, and I have enjoyed this amenity at inns before ... but at the French Quarter, there were actually several choices of wine (including Prosecco) and quite a spread of cheeses, meats, nuts and other accoutrements. We took ours out to one of the sundecks upstairs. Cookies and milk in the evening was another treat. Oh, and the candy bar! That was another fun surprise. My husband enjoyed the fitness room during our stay. There are also bikes to borrow, but we did not take that opportunity. Overall, a really wonderful stay. I would come back here in a heartbeat.

I had written beforehand that our one night stay was a special birthday present for my sister's 70th birthday and my 75th. When we went up to our room there was a beautiful small birthday cake and a bottle of champagne with a welcoming letter from the Manager. This was just one of the high points of staying in this beautiful, personal, hotel. The breakfast was amazing with the highest mountain of smoked salmon, fresh berries and homemade popovers among the selections. A happy hour feast with cheese, charcuterie, fresh and dried fruits, olives and other crudites. And milk, homemade cookies and a glass of port before bedtime. Other family members were staying at a nearby hotel but they were welcomed by staff and encouraged to join us. The knowledgeable concierge booked us into a delightful restaurant on short notice and provided tips to get the most from our only 24 hours in the city. With a pillow menu upon check-in, the best bacon/chili jam I have ever tasted, iced water, lemonade and tea available 24/7, along with fresh fruit and sweets, this is the friendliest and best hotel, more like staying in a large country house with friends. Oh yes, a view overlooking the market and smack dab in the middle of the French Quarter.

Leaving. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We loved our 3 night stay at the French Quarter Inn. We go every year, and we all decided to stay somewhere more exclusive and close to everything in Charleston. We walked everywhere, except when we walked the Ravenal bridge. Getting our vehicle was simple and quick. The staff were impeccable! Every single one of them. The welcome champagne was wonderful and very tasty. The complimentary wine and charcuterie was unbelievable! Wow! Cheeses, olives, crackers, bread, and more! We actually didn't need to go out to dinner. And the cookies and milk to top the day off! Besides their breakfast that we had delivered to the room each morning. It was our best experience in Charleston EVER!!! Thank you French Quarter Inn! I will be back.

Everything was immaculate. The food, the staff, the room. The bedding was irresistibly comfortable. Located within blocks to everything we could possibly do in 4 days. We stayed for Christmas celebration, they had live Carolers preform in the lobby, and the space was so beautifully decorated. The deep rich wood interior and marbled spiraling staircase with a 20 ft Christmas tree pertruding through the middle straight up, set the vibe! It felt so comfortable. A huge continental breakfast, wine and cheese every night, Port wine and warm cookies with milk, before bed, with a huge array of snacks. We didn't spend a fortune on restaurants they kept us well fed. The housekeeping was stellar! Jelly beans, and sweets at the desk all day. Locally designed, custom scented pillow spray, locally made natural soaps and lotions, and pillow chocolates...I could go on for days. This lovely place didn't miss any details

The somewhat hidden cost of valet, a little over priced

We visited Charleston for the first time as a family of four with our two teenage boys age 13 and 16. From the moment we arrived the service was exceptional. Special thanks to the valet who ran upstairs to find out if our room was ready early (it was) and had our car parked and bags in our room before we even got there! We especially loved the complimentary milk and cookies each night (8:30-9:30 pm) and Detox Water and lemonade any time we needed it after hours of walking and sightseeing. This was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in largely because of the friendly staff including the cleaning staff. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

I would say that this is THE best hotel that we have ever stayed! Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was super friendly. The hotel and our room were spotless. We enjoyed that they offered breakfast (which you may get delivered to your room, and would HIGHLY recommend doing at least once), the snacks in the afternoon (which they offer a variety of wines, cocktails, a selection of cheese, salamis and a bit more) and later on in the evening they also serve warm freshly baked cookies with coffee, tea, hot chocolate (and these are all included with your stay!). They did clean our rooms every day (they also do a turndown service and they would provide water, chocolates and weather predictions for the next day). We felt so at home and when we do go back to Charleston, we will only stay here. I would HIGHLY recommend going to this little gem and we are so glad we did. You will not regret it!

Can't complain about anything, our stay exceeded our expectations.

From the moment we arrived the staff were very friendly. The inn has an old-fashioned feel, but the facilities are modern and the bedroom was very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent, and we really enjoyed the opportunity to sit outside for it. We also enjoyed the nice touch of free wine and port receptions that enhanced the feel on being at an inn. Location could not be better being right in the heart of old Charleston.

Limited parking and parking is a bit of a hassle around Charleston.

The location of the hotel was excellent. Walking distance to tons of restaurants and shops. The amenities at the French Quarter Inn are superb! Complimentary champagne upon check in. Complimentary gourmet breakfast every morning. Complimentary wine and hors d'oeurvres every afternoon. Complimentary milk, warm cookies, and port wine every evening. Complimentary valet service. The fitness room was far above the standard hotels. The staff was amazing. Every person working there was polite and helpful. I forgot my sunblock and was headed out to take a boat tour and the front desk staff had some handy free of charge. The hotel itself is absolutely beautiful! This is the only place I will ever stay when visiting Charleston!

There is nothing that could have been better. This hotel exceeded all of our expectations. I don't think that you could find a better place to stay!
