Clean modern hotel with a nice touch of historic charm. Rooms were very clean. Staff was exceptional and even gave us special gifts for our birthdays! It was centrally located, and across the street from a grocery store which was also helpful. I would absolutely stay there again!
The room was amazing! Spacious and the building architecture was beautiful. The young lady at the front desk gave us a handwritten list of restaurants, two of which we ate at and they were fantastic. The stay was better than expected.
Staff were all excellent- kind and helpful. Rooftop terrace was a nice spot to chat and enjoy. Breakfast was simple, but had plenty of options for everyone, including some gluten free items. Room was great. The beds were very comfortable, tons of water pressure in the showers, very spacious. The inn was a in perfect location to walk to the City Market, harbor area, restaurants and many sights.
Exceptional place to stay. We found our room (King Studio) spacious and extremely comfortable and quiet. Within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The staff, The “A Team” were courteous, friendly, and accommodating! Can’t say enough good things. Celebrated our 40th anniversary and they had a sweet note and Prosecco chilling for us. Can’t wait to visit again!
The Ansonborough Inn is a delightful place to stay in Charleston. We love the location. The rooms are very well appointed. We've stayed there several times and will do so the next time we're in Charleston. The hotel staff is very friendly and we always feel like we've returned "home" when we're there.
We love the unique character of the hotel interiors and rooms, the perfect location on the edge of the historic areas and the friendly and helpful staff.
Was very nice location to all the shopping . Small 45 or so room hotel ,very clean and layback. The staff super friendly . Great value for the price . Only down side is paying $39 to park your own car , that has to change .
Loved this hotel so much! Staff was so helpful, even when we arrived at midnight. The lobby smelled amazing, and our room was gorgeous & the price was very affordable. The hotel had so much charm and was beautifully decorated. We did not drive anywhere (except to the beach) while staying because everything was less than a mile away. We’ll be staying here again in the future!!
Simply said, it's the best. I couldn't ask for more. Location great, service great, room great, breakfast great, front desk great, parking great. Did I mention it's the BEST? It really is.
I booked an ADA suite and it was HUGE. It was perfect for my post-op sister. It was decorated nicely, The hotel is right across from a grocery store, which was great so I could keep the mini fridge stocked. It was also across from 167 Raw, which is a fantastic seafood spot in Charleston. The area was quiet, the staff were friendly, and the hotel was cute and a vibe. The breakfast was standard hotel fare, I wish they had more seating. The rooftop was adorable. I liked that it was a bit off of the standard downtown Charleston beaten path. I would definitely stay here again.
