The Ashley is very charming. We had a clean, lovely room with access to the porch, where we would drink our morning coffee. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee were great too. When checking in, there was a bit of a snafu with our reservation but the woman on the phone who helped me was very kind and accommodating. She immediately took care of the problem. I would definitely stay there again.

Disliked: Amenities
The room itself was fairly comfortable and quite clean. The deck would have been a lovely place to enjoy but it was dirty and unkept. Furniture was dusty and not appealing. Major disappointment Other guests were polite and quiet, but the location is extremely loud. It’s difficult to get a good sleep with sirens and broken exhaust systems roaring up and down Ashley street. I would suggest providing your guests a simple map of the “ old town and French Quarter. A hard copy simple map is very helpful particularly if you use the bikes. As this property is A long walk from the French Quarter, a list of good eating establishments nearby would also be helpful to guests. We finally found some good restaurants nearby. We loved the bikes and felt comfortable locking them up in French Quarter. My lock was broken so you might want to review the equipment. Breakfast was ok, after two mornings the yogurt appeared :) I am not sure I would recommend this property to fellow travelers

Cozy Charleston Getaway

By far the best place ive stayed in a while. The area was clean and quiet. Self check in process was easy. The bike rental concept was great. I enjoyed exploring Charleston on a bike. Breakfast offered was simple and accommodating.

SO CUTE! we stayed in room 3 and everything was stunning. We spent a lot of time on the verandah, which was gorgeous shared space. The breakfast, snacks and drinks were an awesome extra.

The Ashley felt like staying at an old Bed & Breakfast, without having to socialize with anyone😊 Breakfast sandwiches were prepared and left in a warmer every morning, along with fruits, parfaits and beverages. The place was beautifully decorated and the location was perfect!

Loved, Loved the shower and bed. Instructions from property regarding parking were detrimental to enjoying the parts. Information for WiFi didn’t tell you the name of the network so when you try to connect to TheAshley it fails. That’s not the network for you. 😳 They should tell you on each room listing how many stairs you have to climb to get to your room and when they say take the back stairs from the parking area, they don’t mean the skinny spiral staircase. Finally, the parking area is NOT behind the building. The Ashley is at the corner of Ashley and Bee and the parking area is at the Bee St entrance.

The room wise nice, comfortable bed. Decor nice. The breakfast was a huge disappointment and not as advertised. There is no front desk and the only person available to talk to were the people who clean the rooms. When asked about the food that was advertised her answer was “we ran out”. It’s also not in the French Quarter and we had to drive to get there and pay a lot to park. I would recommend staying directly in the French Quarter.

Stayed overnight on our way to Florida and would stay again! Yes the hotel is old but what do you expect? It’s very well kept very clean and we loved the location and boutique feel! We will be coming back next time we are in Charleston! Would not recommend for elderly people as they do have stairs that are steep so plan according! But my almost 2 year old had no issue so I would say kid friendly!

Room 2 was loud in the very early am. Could hear all movement on the stairs- probably to be expected in historic property, but there was also loud construction or some kind of engine nearby starting at 6 am every day including the weekend. Couldnt figure out the thermostat so it was cold at night. Also they wouldnt give us a late checkout, which I understand but was still a bit frustrating. A warning about the early morning noise would be nice.
