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 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.

Anniversary Get away

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.

Great central location in downtown Charleston!

This was a great location and the people were very nice! There are several restaurants within walking distance and a bar connected to this location, as well as the Market Street shopping and horse carriage tours close by. The water taxi was also convenient to go over to the Patriots Point area. We ended up with 2 smaller beds instead of a king bed, but that ended up being ok. There is a hair dryer, iron/ironing board, and a coffee maker. There are a couple of washing machine/dryer combos downstairs if you need them (we did not). This was a great stay and we would highly recommend this place!!

Not quite 5 stars

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!

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.

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.

Loved our first trip to Charleston

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.

Downtown Gem

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.

Amazing location

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.
