My wife and I have been enjoying our stays here since 2009. Location of this property within the market area has proven perfect. We arrive after a 7 hour drive, valet park the car and don’t drive again until check out a few days later. We love to walk and the proximity of the French Quarter Inn(FQI) allows for walking to prime dining of all types and to historical sites. Included is the use of new bicycles for traversing the nearby gorgeous neighborhoods. GM Carlo routinely walks the property every morning and has kept the property in first class shape. I appreciate that he likes feedback. Bedding in the king rooms are extremely restful. I always book through Kim at the front desk. She is always helpful and has great recommendations. FQI = exceptional value.

Outstanding first class service from the time we pulled up, Jose our valet was impeccable , the front desk, maid service, room, the beds were extraordinarily comfortable. The breakfast and daily wine and cheese were great. The staff met all of my pre- arranged orders without fail. One of my favorite hidden jewels . The balcony overlooking the market and the city was an outstanding place to have morning coffee.

We’re from Denver NC and my wife wanted to spend a few nights in Charleston SC for her birthday so I wanted to stay somewhere special. Based on all the reviews I saw I picked the French Quarter Inn and was so glad I did. From the champagne upon check-in to the warm cookies and milk each evening, it was a special time. They also had several GF options for my wife each morning for breakfast. We drove down in our Tesla and they had a very convenient charger that worked great to fill up our battery each evening. The staff were amazing and super friendly. Location was superb, right in the middle of many top restaurants and shopping. I highly recommend this special place — we will be back!

Lovely hotel with true Southern hospitality. We felt welcomed from the time we checked in until we checked out. Service was outstanding. The breakfast and wine/charcuterie hour were both sumptuous for complimentary offerings. The room was immaculate. The location was perfect!

I am a former chef and am now a catering director at a private country club. Being extremely picky and wanting the best possible accommodations and food - we were nothing but happy with French Quarter Inn!

My wife and I stayed at the French Quarter Inn on a Monday and Tuesday evening. As our second visit to Charleston, we wanted to enjoy the Battery area history and restaurants for a couple days. French Quarter Inn was fantastic! The staff really set the stage for a memorable and rejuvenating visit. Charleston really is a unique and wonderful city, and I highly recommend the French Quarter Inn for helping us take a little of Charleston with us.
