We picked this hotel for the location and were vety happy with it. The hotel was very unique with having 2 floors in our unit. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was perfect for our stay of 3 adults. Very clean and had everything we needed. We took advantage of the free coffee that was offered in the downstairs coffee room as well. They have a lovely courtyard thats lit up at night. We also paid the hotel for the in & out of the public parking garage that worked out great. We would definitely stay again.

Unique two story suite - worked well for us. Good kitchen with full size refrigerator. Hotel is very conveniently located. Only issue was it is classified as long term - so no cleaning during stay. Nice courtyard area. Free coffee in morning. Friendly staff

Wonderful location. Walkable to many restaurants and attractions. Dated interior that needs updating. No breakfast, bar, or amenities. Left one evening for dinner and when I returned there was nobody at front desk. The door was locked and I was unable to get in the hotel, even with my room key for over 30 minutes.

We had a wonderful stay here for our long weekend anniversary trip. The location was absolutely perfect—within walking distance to nearly everything we wanted to see and do. The two-story room was spacious and well-appointed, with a fully equipped kitchen and two bathrooms, making it ideal not just for couples but for families as well. Everything was clean, comfortable, and convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Walkable to the major attractions: City Market (almost across the street), Old Slave Mart, The Old Exchange, and even catching the ferry to Fort Sumter with comfortable walking shoes. There is no restaurant in the inn, but they have fresh coffee and a lovely courtyard with a fountain. There are many restaurants nearby (recommend TBonz Gill & Grill). We enjoyed a lovely evening listening to live jazz at Forte Jazz Lounge. It felt unsafe out in the streets afterward because it was late, we were in an area with bars, and the college had just graduated, so I don't know if that was an anomaly. The inn gives a pass for nearby parking in the municipal parking garage at $20/day and you can come and go as much as you want. We had no problems with vandalism and saw no graffiti or loiterers in the garage. Our bathroom had some bad quality cosmetic finishing, but everything was sparkling clean, and it was well stocked. The bed was medium firmness and comfy! Keep in mind that Ascend saves old commercial buildings from being demolished and repurposes them as inns, which I applaud, so there are creaky stairs.

Wonderful HOTEL

Perfect location in downtown Charleston, right across the street from the markets! Restaurants galore, shopping, carriage rides and easy walking down to Rainbow Row and all the historic homes. Just a perfect stay, the hotel was very nice but had that historic feel with the grand staircase and the rooms were equipped with a kitchen, separate living and bedroom upstairs plus 1 1/2 baths. Would stay here anytime I was visiting Charleston! Will definitely be back someday! Very affordable in comparison to other downtown hotels but had a great vibe and a beautiful courtyard to enjoy morning coffee or anytime during the day to just relax and enjoy the weather.
