Charleston | Historic District | Downtown Heritage Stay

Property managers were very professional and welcoming. We appreciated the upgrade offered to us and we enjoyed our stay at the Snopes. Breakfast was home cooked and very tasty. The only downside is that the property is located on a busy intersection and it is a bit noisy.

Very nice room in a preserved older building with exposed brick and local charm. Cindy checked us in and also checked on us daily- she was very kind and helpful. Wonderful location! Only issues are to be expected in an older building such as hearing the footsteps from the room above us.

We were greeted by Natalie who helped us check in! She was awesome personified! The Lodge grounds were immaculately clean inside and out as was all of Charleston! The line for our rental was an hour plus wait so we took an Uber! We did not need the car! The location allowed us to walk EVERYWHERE!

This is a special place. The location is exceptional and proximity to everything Charleston is amazing. The staff is responsive and friendly and every need is met. It is a beautiful place and would highly recommend it.

The staff were all super friendly and very helpful. We LOVED our room! It had two double beds and a sitting area for us to relax. Highly recommend this hotel!!

The room rate was excellent. Very comfortable. Many of the places we wanted to see were within walking distance.

Room number two zero six was fantastic! Location of the property was excellent. We will be back.

Personnel were exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Location in the French Quarter is perfect. Staff is incredibly friendly. Property is charming and rooms are spacious.

They told us we didnt have a room 2 days before we left. I booked it a month in advance.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean with plenty of storage. Could have used more dishes for 3, not 2 guests. Liked that our building was within walking distance of attractions, restaurants and shops.

The location was perfect! We really enjoyed our stay in this charming place. Thank you!

The Lodge Alley Inn was beautiful and spacious. We never rented a car because everything was walking distance! I think because of the buildings age, some of the doors are loud and hard to open/ close. Definitely more of a structural maintenance issue than a host issue. We loved our stay and hope to be back!

Our room was large and very nice with a lot of southern colonial flair, including old wood floor, fireplace, high ceiling and ornate crown moulding. The service at the front desk and concierge desks was great and very helpful. The location in the French quarter was close enough to almost everything we wanted to see, so we were able to walk everywhere. The only negative is our room was on the street side of the building, and sometimes we heard noisy cars late at night. I mentioned this when we were asked by staff how we were enjoying our stay, and they offered us ear plugs, which I declined -- it wasn't that bad. In summary: nice place, good location, helpful staff, and good service.

Excellent stay at Abby Lodge! The location is perfect — an easy walk to the French Quarter and close to everything you’d want to see in Charleston. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and full of helpful information about the area.Our suite was thoughtfully laid out with everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the sitting room was a relaxing spot to unwind. Having a full kitchen was a huge plus — we loved being able to make our own breakfast. The shower was great too, and the provided shampoo, conditioner, and body gel were all good quality.Highly recommend

Host was dishonest about the listing. I booked 2 double beds, but second bed was a pull out couch. Host also booked another party for my room and asked to me changed rooms halfway through the trip.

Our one bedroom suite was perfect! We loved the room and the full kitchen. There was plenty of room to spread out and make ourselves at home. The location was great and we could walk to all the beautiful Charleston sights.

Our room was very clean and spacious. The furniture look new and in perfect condition. Fireplace was a nice addition but since we traveled in the spring we did not use it. The location was perfect to explore the historic district as well. The rooms were totally soundproof, we heard nothing! Staff was very friendly. A large courtyard was a great place to relax outside when we wanted some down time.

The studio room was very clean and very spacious. It was very quiet as well. We heard absolutely nothing from other guests or the outside during our time there. The location was excellent to be able to walk thru the historic district!

Gorgeous room, clean and nicely decorated! Fireplace and balcony overlooking courtyard. Super comfortable bed. Gabby at reception was very responsive to my questions and requests. Centrally located, easy walks to attractions, no need for a car rental. Lyft and Ubers at the ready for any excursions and airport travel. Would rent again for sure, very impressed!

No pool as stated in the add. No king bed available as also stated. Good location. Friendly staff

Great location!!! Very friendly staff. Walking distance to all the local Charleston downtown attractions!Hope to visit again!

Property through VRBO was not accurately described. There was not heated pool or outside shower. For the cost of this room we definitely were overcharged. 3 women in 1 queen bed and sofa bed was not acceptable. It took 40 minutes to check in. Girl at front desk was trying to get a room with 2 queen beds. We were informed that property owners were the only ones that got those rooms. The lodge alley inn was beautiful. Sleeping arrangements were not great.

Great location.

We had a beautiful well equipped room and sitting area. We loved its proximity to everything we wanted to do and see in downtown Charleston. The staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful in booking tours for us and giving us restaurant recommendations. We were greeted so warmly every time we left and returned. The room was such a pleasant place to return to with a comfortable seating area ( and fireplace which we did not need to use!)

Delightful property. Faced the street so a bit noisy but quieted out about 10 or 11. All service was friendly and responsive. Didn’t find a pool but didn’t ask

Excellent location, very clean and stylish room. Quiet with lovely courtyard view. Staff was delightful and we would absolutely stay here again.

Wrong dates were given to the property manager by the VRBO host. This particular Inn is operated by Hilton. The room we rented is a time share property. We paid for three nights, specifically for Tuesday until Friday morning. When we arrived on Tuesday, the Inn said that we were marked as a NO SHOW for Monday night. They were given the dates of Monday until Thursday morning. We were able to stay there on Tuesday and Wednesday, but had to vacate on Thursday. The host refused to take my phone call so I spoke with a VRBO manager. She claimed there was no wrong doing and there was nothing I could do. I then began texting with the host and he also said that he sent a confirmation email with the correct dates. I reiterated that the Inn was given the wrong dates and that I wanted to be reimbursed for the one night, since we were only able to stay for two nights. No compensation was given. I am proceeding with multiple avenues to report this wrong doing. Hopefully my credit card company will be able to get my money back.

The unit is now part of a hotel managed by Hilton Resorts. This happened one week before our arrival. The front desk, concierge, and valet were incrediably professional and accommodating. The host actually called us directly on our first day there to ask if everything was ok - a nice approach. The unit is ideally located in the French Quarter - walking distance to the attractions, wonderful restaurants, and even a full size grocery store. We loved our stay.

The room was well appointed, very clean and stocked with all necessary items. We love The Lodge Alley Inn and will be back soon!!!

Very nice property. Large studio unit, perfect for 2. Close to attractions.

We loved staying at Lodge Alley Inn! Room was perfect and the location is excellent for enjoying life in Charleston. Great experience and we will definitely stay here again.

This property was great! Beautiful historic building and a wonderful light filled corner suite. The space was clean and the king bed was super comfortable. Located in the French quarter of Charleston made everything very accessible and easily walkable.... Close to restaurants, rainbow row, the market, the waterfront, etc. Be aware that parking is scarce in Charleston and the fee for non-owner valet parking is 50 daily. I would definitely stay here again.

Great location & very comfortable suite. Thanks for hosting us…we will be back!

Friendly staff. The apartment was perfect, if anything, better than advertised. The pictures really did not do the studio justice.

Great location and place to stay. Second time here with this host. Fantastic experience.

Nice neighborhood.

Not as described, location was excellent, condition of room was poor.

Great place with friendly staff and good loaction!!!!

Location and convenience

Great room, great location, great staff.

Even better than the photos! Beautiful furnishings and updated bathroom, overlooking a picturesque patio. The location was in close walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay again

We did not stay there. We booked through VRBO a unit of a Blue Green owner(we found out they are not supposed to do this). The owner canceled our res. but neglected to inform VRBO. We showed up to find we had no reservation a very awkward situation! Fortunately, concierge employees Dawn and Kendall were very kind and helpful and located another very nice hotel for us and our stay in Charleston was Plesant.

Very very nice!! Loved the location and all the staff were so friendly.

Great time

Perfect location. Property is clean and staff is friendly. Could walk everywhere and ubers were readily available for transport to airport and outlying trips to winery, plantation and tea garden. Would recommend.

It was wonderful. Our room was beautiful and well appointed. The location was ideal, in walking distance of restaurants and attractions. We enjoyed the courtyard as well. In the evening for wine and charcuterie and the morning for coffee.The staff was great as well. Very friendly and informative about the area. We are already planning our next visit.We give it a 10 out of 10.

Loved this property. As advertised and more..

The unit was beautiful and the location can’t be beat. Walkable to everything in the historic district! The staff was friendly and welcoming. After many visits to Charleston, this was our best stay. Hope to return soon.

Easy & friendly. Staff always helpful & courteous.

The place was a rundown dump and not very accommodating. To my surprise, there was no where to park my car with out paying a fortion that I was not made aware of in advance, and the floors in the room were slpoped like a funhouse and the floor had a trp hazard that the rtyed to cover up that caused me to trip on and twist my knee causing me pain.I will never use your services again and will tell everyone I know to avoid using you. your photos are misleading.

Very noisy, not because of the French quarter location, but the restaurant attached to the hotel. Music was tolerable, but the staff dragging furniture across the floor at 4am was ridiculous. The front desk staff was superb, all the employees were so friendly and simply wonderful to be around. We will return, just not during peak season.

We had a studio on the 3rd flood. It was the perfect size with a queen bed and a separate living area with a couch and fireplace. The room was clean and quiet with no street noise. The front desk was very friendly and helpful. The best part was the location. Quick walk to the market, the waterfront and French Quarter. We would definitely stay here again.

The room was very clean and spacious. Would definitely stay there again.

We absolutely loved our stay!! The location was right in the heart of all the activities we wanted to do. We walked everywhere. Easy to do from this location!! The front desk staff was Amazing. I loved the texting app to ask for towels and events. Super easy yo use!!

Location couldn’t get better! Our room was large and had a great view (3rd floor). Property staff were friendly and lots of options for food and fun nearby.

The Lodge was in a great location for exploring Charleston. Will do it again.

Very convenient to everything. We were in walking distance to shopping, food, and attractions.

Great property in one of the best locations in Historic Charleston. The only complaint is during our 4 night stay, we never received room service. We had to ask the front desk for extra toilet paper, coffee, etc.

Very nice accommodations. Everything you need in a great location. Super clean and comfortable. The only negative - sales people in the lobby trying to hard-sell timeshare opportunities, tours, etc. Hard to avoid, since they put the desk directly outside of the elevator to catch you as you come and go. They did back off after a firm No thank you.

My husband and I are 70 years old and this was our first trip to Charleston. The address was easy to find and valet parking was an extra bonus. Our room was very pretty and comfortable with a great view of the street. I realize this is a time share location so maybe I should have known the pictures on the listing aren’t necessarily the room you get. The pictures showed 2 beds (full or queen) but we got 1 queen. It wasn’t a big deal, we just weren’t expecting that. The location was fantastic with many restaurants within sight of the inn. Strongly recommend Fleet Landing for lunch/dinner and Ruby Sunshine for breakfast. Everyone we had contact with on our were very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely like to stay here again.

Spent 4 nights at Lodge Alley. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Check in was easy and uneventful. Room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Location was perfect for walking to restaurants, galleries, music, and local sites. We did a lot of walking around, enjoyed the area and felt safe in doing so.Host was responsive and communication was excellent leading up to and during our trip. We would definitely stay again.

Overall, this was a great accommodation! Room was spacious and clean, and nicer than pictures show! Only minor hiccup was an issue with our room key, but the managers helped resolve it! Great location, easy to walk to King St. and waterfront. Highly recommend for a stay in Charleston!

Had a great time

This is a time share facility and we ended up being moved 2 times to different rooms during our 6 day stay. Staff is very accommodating and sent porters to help us move each time, it was still an inconvenience. Overall nice rooms with micro kitchen, and free laundry faciliity. Be aware there is a great deal of street noise when you're staying downtown.

Enjoyed it.

Using the TV was a bit difficult. Other than that it was lovely.

We travel at least annually to Charleston, and Lodge Alley is absolutely the best location - easy walking distance to our favorite spots, and the accommodations could not be better! So comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. We have stayed here multiple times, and will stay again!

We had a function just around the corner from our hotel so we were able to walk everywhere. Parked our car and left it until we departed. The Market & carriage tour area, both walkable. Charleston has lots to offer for sure and Alley Lodge was right in the heart of all of it.

Property was very nice and amenities were as listed. The staff were very nice and helpful as well. I did read about the street noise…we occasionally heard the emptying of the trash cans but that was fleeting…what was troublesome was the constant noise in the room that sounded like a hair dyer or blender or sander or something of that nature that didn’t stop…eventually we were able to sleep through it but ugh! (The upstairs neighbors were quite noisy….but that was them, not the resort). The hallways that have a few stairs could use hand rails for the older folks….the shower could use a bit more water pressure…and the space that houses the coffeemaker, etc. could use a sink so we didn’t have to clean everything in the bathroom….these are nitpicking items, I know, but you asked. Overall, the stay was enjoyable and the location was great! Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.

Place was amazing…perfect location to be in Charleston. Parking was only about 30 bucks in the lot across from the hotel. But I definitely would stay here again

This property was perfect for our trip to Charleston ! Beautiful property, Beautiful City, Great Eats and Shopping - all within walking distance !!

great location, very pleasant staff.

This property was a perfect location. Would definitely come again. Resort staff was excellent they made our stay even better. Room clean and bed was very comfy.

We had a wonderful time in Charleston! My daughters and I really enjoyed our stay!

Perfect for our short visit, surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants. Walking distance to the Market, Pier and Ft. Sumter Experience. Will definitely return in the future!

Easy check-in. Great communication with the property manager. The location is perfect - close to the Battery, Pineapple Fountain Park, Market Street, Rainbow Row, shops and restaurants!

Timeshare was lovely, rooms were actually nicer than pictures. Nice big courtyard for outside time. GREAT location for excellent restaurants & sightseeing! Would definitely stay here again.

The location on East Bay is superb! Very close to a public pier where you can watch dolphins and sea birds, and surrounded by good restaurants. I found the neighborhood to be less frantic than King Street, but close to all the sights. Our room was very large and well appointed, it even had a gas fireplace. Sound insulation could be better. We could hear revelers and traffic on the street below our windows. It could be a problem if you are a light sleeper.The staff were very friendly and helpful. I liked this place and would stay here again.

Perfect location , great for walking around Charleston, super eating places nearby, quiet, very comfortable accommodations. Highly recommend!

We just checked out of a two night stay here. First, it is located right in the heart of the French Quarter of Charleston. You are mere steps from virtually everything. We were about a block or so from the Charleston City Market. We were surrounded by an array of restaurants and shops. Parking is about 50 per night, which I find routine for larger cities. We were walking distance to everything we did, including arranged tours. So if you are not on a driving tour and coming to visit only Charleston, you could absolutely just take a taxi or Uber to/from the airport and not miss having a car at all. The room was large, with a separate living room from the bedroom. There was a coffee nook, with a microwave, small fridge with freezer, and some basic dishes/cups/glasses. The bathroom had a sink and vanity separated from the area that housed both the toilet and shower. The water pressure was decent. There was a pretty courtyard area and a parlor off the lobby where coffee was served in the morning. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would 100% stay here again.

It was a beautiful property located within walking distance to everything. Friendly and helpful staff.

We stayed at the best area to enjoy the activities and food, easy walk to everything.

You can feel the history of this place and its location. From the awesome wood floors to the high ceilings, it has all you could imagine for a spot smack dab in this historic city. My wife and I enjoyed sitting by the fireplace and watching out the beautiful windows to the street below. The location is within walking distance to the waterfront, city market, and unlimited shops and restaurants!

I booked a room on the app. The room was nothing like what was pictured. It so happened that the room I was given was directly above the restaurant and the noise could be heard up to 11:00pm. I was told the parking garage was 48 dollars a day by the clerk and the valet was only 50 so it made sense to use the valet. Come to find out I was lied to and the garage that was across the street was only 24 dollars a day. I guess there is nothing more to expect from Charleston but that kinda ticked me off.

Great location, clean, safe, and very reasonable price. Highly recommend!!

We enjoyed the stay. Great location!

Wonderful stay at a perfect location. Close to the market and all the museums, dining, piers and more!

We had an absolutely amazing time! The space was impeccably clean, beautifully inviting, and thoughtfully designed to make us feel right at home. The location was perfect, and everyone we encountered was incredibly friendly and welcoming. It was such a fantastic experience, and we would absolutely love to stay here again in the future.

Have been wanting to get to Charleston for awhile and Christmas seemed to be a great time to go. Our room met all our expectations! Big enough to move around and loved the gas fireplace. We did get some street noise, but any music playing was done by 11:00pm. Everybody was very friendly! This location is close to a wide assortment of restaurants and able to walk to majority of Charleston destinations. Will keep this place in first place for next visit to Charleston.

Excellent location!!! Beautiful courtyard! Central but quiet. Plenty of room in the room. Comfortable seating area. Bed could have been firmer but that’s my preference.

The unit was in great condition. Recently renovated. It is a historic building so there were very skeaky floors. The only thing we didn’t agree with is there was no mention that the unit was a time share.

You cannot beat the location and the staff is great. This is more of a hotel room than a typical Vrbo. There is no kitchen or dining area and no laundry facilities. Housekeeping is an extra fee. Upon arrival, we were told that we would have to change rooms for our last night. The owner wanted nothing to do with helping with that. He said that any stay over 4nights can have a room change so be careful if you want more than 4 nights. We were able to work it out with Sam, the manager, who is GREAT! We got past that and had a fine time because it is a great location within walking distance of so much.

Very convenient and did not have to drive anywhere. Place was very clean and the staff always friendly & helpful. Our room was above a restaurant that had live music which was over by ten or eleven o'clock at night.

Great property right in the heart of everything. Loved it.

Very comfortable, nicely located within walking distance of all the major city attractions.

Loved the location of this place! We were told not to book a rental car when visiting downtown Charleston - that was a good suggestion. We took an Uber from the airport and walked or hopped on the free shuttle to get around downtown. Our room was spacious enough for me and my husband. When he slept in, I was able to hang out in the living room. We both thought the beds and bedding were extremely comfortable. Our room was not in a preferred location of the building. Our balcony looked straight out at humming mechanical units. So we could only see the courtyard off to the side. We didn't mind since we didn't spend much time on the balcony. Furthermore, in the evenings we could also hear music coming from a nearby restaurant. We did expect some pressure to attend a time share presentation - no one mentioned anything like that to us. Finally, we were impressed by the friendliness of the staff - we were greeted every time we went into or out of the building.

Great location in the French Quarter. Everything is within walking distance.

We adore Lodge Alley Inn for its location, unique rooms with fireplaces, and wonderful staff who always have a smile!

Great location and friendly staff.

Really enjoyed our 4 night stay in Charleston. Great location for sight seeing - food and excursions. Easy check-in and people bent over backwards to help us. Definitely recommend if traveling to Charleston.

This is a great location to enjoy Charleston and our room was clean and mostly comfortable. I booked our visit for 4 days but somehow it was separated into two, 2 day reservations which we didn't notice until we checked it. This was not indicated at the time of booking. Luckily, the front desk was able to adjust this and we did not have to move. The main building where our unit was located seemed oddly unlevel. Our bathroom had a distinctive slope down to a single very low sink. The small area where the coffee maker, microwave, etc. is located was so small, we had to relocate items in order to have any space to deal with food. Lastly, the walls are not insulted much and we recommend ear plugs if you don't want to be bothered by music from the restaurant next door or family's with children in nearby rooms who are up early and bouncing off the walls. Not sure I would stay here again, but it is a great location.

Absolutely wonderful! Amazing staff! Huge rooms! Best location!

We left the car in a very nearby garage and walked everywhere for 3 days. Very clean and comfy, friendly reception folks. Reasonable price compared to area hotels. Would stay again.

Everyone was so nice and helpful. Good location!

Clean room in french quarter.

Booking was simple, the room was amazing and we cannot wait to go back!

We love staying here for the location and the old feel of the building and rooms. This time we were given a room on Bay St and the noise starts early at 5 am. If I had a choice I would not choose it again - the courtyard is much better. The rooms there are always nice and clean, but this time it looked like it had not been vacuumed. everything else was great!
