Didn’t get information about check in until I called. That being said they did answer in a timely fashion. It was just surprising to get to the property and unable to enter.

Nice quiet neighborhood location, beautiful home, great parlor, porch sitting areas, first floor. Room is spacious but slightly dated & while AC and humidifiers are well functioning, it can get too cold very easily, especially if unit is right above the bed.

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.

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.
