Wow Charleston is full of history and this inn does not disappoint. We wanted to stay near the historic districts but did not want to blow the bank. This gem of a hotel is located just a short walk 6 min to the City Market. Also if you are going on a cruise out of Charleston you are 2-3 blocks from the boarding area. This inn is a converted paper factory and the rooms are amazing. Also all of the staff at the inn are super accommodating and ready with a smile. If you are going to Charleston check this inn out.

Charleston is a cute town. Was looking for a non chain hotel to have a great weekend and we found this place in hotels. Com. It has a great location. Only 10 minute walk from the hub of downtown Charleston. There is also a grocery store literally across the street so you can get some snacks with a 3 minute walk. They have a parking lot which is nice, spacious and... Well it's empty. We will get to this later. Walked in to check in and I noticed a resounding theme, folks calling to contest their bill. I stood for 10 minutes while the lady on the phone went over line item after line item for this person. After the call got to check in and she asked if we parked, told her yes and she said it's $35 a night. Pardon me? For your empty parking lot is 35 a night? I see why it's empty, they're extorting money from you. There no security guard. No camera. No gate. But bet your buns they charge premium rates. The room was right next to the main street, which was not ideal for the insecure people with loud mufflers or motorcycles. But the room? Very cute. Decorated well. Comfy bed. Nice shower but one thing lacking was counter space or shelves. Made it importable to use the sink the area was so small. They have a bar on hand and they have a signature cocktail that was pretty good, and I don't like drinking. It's a nice little bar and there's an overflow long table below for a group. The price: it isn't cheap. But normally when you charge an arm and a leg you get parking or maybe a restaurant on site. But nah, they just have a cute hotel in a good location. I probably wouldn't stay here again mostly because of the parking. I have status with all three chains and in the event they charge for parking, it's comped.

It is pretty elegant inside. You walk in to see a wonderful mirror and beautiful art of puppies and nature adorning the walls. Also, the gentleman at the front desk who works here and handles the checking in process was approachable and friendly. The inn holds a wine and cheese social (salsa and chips, sugar cookies, iced tea, lemonade, Merlot, Chardonnay, spicy cheese, cheddar, pepper jack cubes) for the guests from 5-6 pm and offer a complimentary breakfast from 7 until 10 AM for us as well. Inside our room, I see a microwave and a fridge even a Keurig machine. I noticed coffee in the communal area (caffeinated and decaffeinated). I attached a photo of my room so you could see the art. Check in is 3 pm and check out is 12 pm which seems reasonable. There's a lot to like about the interior design such as the art paintings and the wooden beams above your head. In our particular room, there's adequate drawers and storage for your items. There is a closet with exposed brick and place to hang items like coats. I walk in to see mints on my pillow. Definitely a nice touch! There's beautiful tile in your bathroom and also a spot for coffee and tea in the communal area. Also I see a bar to get drinks later downstairs as well. It is walking distance to historic French quarter district where you can go shopping and walk around the neighborhood and try some local cuisine. The downside: For some reason, it smells like smoke inside my room. I don't smoke, but I get headaches when I am surrounded by someone who is smoking. I'm on the first floor, and it's something to consider when choosing your room if you have respiratory issues or struggle with asthma. Another thing is that when people speak, you can hear them in the parking lot or as they pass outside your window and in front of your door. Other than that, I would recommend it to friends.

Absolutely an adorable, perfect location for a quick get away! Walking distance to food,shops and fun. Portraits of Dogs and paintings of dogs throughout, that was a PLUS ! Morning snacks and beverages as well as afternoon. And in the evening wine and munchies! My sister and I stayed 3 nights total, years ago and STILL talk about it ! Harris Teeter is next door also !!! Great experience all around!

Terrible selection of breakfast items, no gluten free, horrible online ordering experience. I will not be back. Disgusting for the amount of money it costs

Mixed review. The staff is great, the location is great, and the property itself could be wonderful...with some TLC. The breakfast is underwhelming (think Comfort Inn), the property isn't very clean, room servicing is only available by request, and water costs $3. Thankfully there's a grocery store across the street.

The Ansonborough Inn is a quaint, sweet mix of a smaller boutique hotel or a bigger bed-and-breakfast. It is definitely a hotel but the staff is so intimate and friendly that it feels like a B&B. They have free wine and cheese tasting every night from 5 to 6. There is a rooftop lounge with a view of Charleston. Free breakfast is also included from 7 to 10 every morning. If you'd like to sleep in, the free coffee and tea bar is open all day. Some might consider the rooms a bit small, compared to something like Homewood suites. I felt there was plenty of space to move around, and the bed was the centerpiece, risen high off the ground. We had a Big screen TV, refrigerator, microwave and a coffee maker in our room. THE DEAL: The Ansonborough Inn is a moderately priced, boutique hotel in the heart of the French Quarter of Charleston, South Carolina. The staff will make you feel like family!

Super cool boutique hotel in a great spot in Charleston. Nice rooftop deck. Neat little bar inside. Affordable too.

Amazing location and even better staff. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. There's a grocery store across the street and the hotel is in walking distance to so many great restaurants and shopping. Great bar too and our dog had a great time.

1st, the staff was Great: Sussie , Eric, Christopher ,Finn and Renny. My wife went there for 4-5 days for our anniversary, Which I informed them, not even an acknowledgment. No wine in the room, or a small box of chocolates or flowers or even a card. I feel the hotel being smaller and not as many amenities as bigger hotels; they need to try harder. Nice place , clean room, but there try to make money off you any way they can. They charge $25 night for parking, there Free Continental breakfast is a joke, a brown box with 2 day old pastry you can't pick, a small yogurt (no spoon), small oj, nothing hot, and feels like a 7th-grade box lunch, I have had better at Bestwestern, days inn. No grits, no eggs, no meat.no bagel cream cheese, no English muffin with jam, very sad, not classy . they need to do better , they have breakfast sandwiches, To buy extra $10 they use too have a much better spread before the construction. The Free wine and cheese is out, they now have a bar and they want you to buy your wine and drinks. They don't offer free bottle water for the room, it's $3 per bottle. They have raised prices for the room because " they have upgraded" the hotel is not in the French Quarter, still have to walk 3-4 blocks to get to the city market. The main entrance is across the side of a supermarket and you can smell the dumpster in the back. I think my stay was okay, but I will look for a hotel that has real free amenities. They need to do better, try harder to go the extra mile for guests, Offer free parking, other hotels don't, and acknowledge guest's special events in their lives, birthdays, anniversaries, ect. better breakfast local hot grits, country ham, let the guest pick , not here's your box . Again nice hotel , clean room, great staff all helpful. The room has no microwave, you have to ask, the rooms with a "full kitchen" no plates or silverware to use . The tv has no channel guide, so your jets flipping through. nice place but still need improvements.
