Excellent location and gorgeous room!

My daughter and I went on a short mother/daughter trip before her senior year. The check-in process was easy, valet was quick, the people were friendly and helpful and the room was gorgeous! I loved being able to grab a cup of coffee in the morning and the texting feature for valet and housekeeping was a nice touch. The location can’t be beat! It’s near everything or a short walk away! Definitely will stay at the Lodge Alley Inn again!

The room was lovely. Large windows overlooking East Bay Street let in so much light. My only negative comment is that there is some early morning noise from the street below. But it's Charleston....that is to be expected. Highly recommend and will stay there again.

Great Location and Smooth Reservation Process

This property is a little different than others we have stayed at using VRBO. Rather than a private property, this is a timeshare resort, and our stay was managed through Koala. That meant we had to also register on Koala's site. However, communication was great with texts and emails to ensure that our visit went smoothly.The Lodge Alley Inn is just like staying in a hotel. There is no breakfast, but coffee and a complimentary newspaper is available each morning. They also don't have daily housekeeping, but you can text the front desk if there is anything you need.They offered valet parking, but we self-parked in the garage at 1 Cumberland and walked about a block to the Inn. Assuming you are reasonably fit, you'll be within walking distance of almost anything on the peninsula. The room itself was better than expected. We were in the main building and our "studio" felt like two rooms. There was a large fireplace in the middle between the bed and living space. The bathroom had gorgeous tile (no tub, just a shower), and there was a small fridge/toaster/coffee pot area. This was obviously an older building, and I noticed that if the dresser drawers weren't pushed in tight, they would slide out because of a slight slope in the room. If you are sensitive to light, it did seem like a fair amount of it seeped in around the door from the hallway. Our room faced the courtyard, and we had no issues with noise.Overall, a great experience. Highly recommended.
