Are you looking for a unique stay where staff take care of you as if you were long-lost family? French Quarter Inn is exactly where you need to be. The attention to detail, from check-in to check-out, you will be pampered to your heart's content. Rooms are luxurious and inviting, cleanliness is an obvious point of pride, and staff are genuinely friendly and take the extra effort to ensure your stay well be memorable. A very special shout-out to Kim. She made our stay perfection with extra special touches. Presentation of morning breakfast is considered an art based on our observation. The wine and cheese social hour are a cut above and them cookies, milk and Port Wine as a night cap are just plain special. Where do you find nightly turn-down service these days? You got it... at the French Quarter Inn. Go ahead and pamper yourselves. The location is located in the heart of the French Quarter with numerous dining options within walking distance.

It has all been written in previous reviews, but our experience was also a definite 5. Service was outstanding from all we encountered during our short stay. The breakfast and wine/charcuterie hour were both amazingly varied and delicious for an included amenity. (I’m only sorry we missed the nightly milk & cookies) Our room was spacious, beautifully furnished and included the most specious balcony I’ve seen in a city hotel. We both had the best hotel sleep we can recall. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we didn’t encounter any other guest noise (and we know there were guests in the surrounding rooms.) The best was the noiseless heating unit. We didn’t take advantage of their pillow selection as the pillows provided were numerous and comfortable. The hotel is in a great location next to the market and waterfront park. The aquarium and the shops and restaurants on King Street are all within walking distance. We are looking forward to our next stay.

This was a Christmas present to my beautiful wife. We spend a lot of time in Charleston and the surrounding area, and I have never had such a wonderful experience in all the years we've been coming down there. Concierge Kim (our new BESTY!!) was absolutely fabulous. She took care of us from the time we checked in until the time we left. Her partner Kimberly (Kim2!) was wonderful! She made sure we got back to the hotel safely one night. Super Bob, also at the desk, was incredible, making sure we had what we needed. We had winter weather in the upstate and Bob was making sure that we could stay an extra night, only to find out that KIM had already secured it! Ben in Valet! What a delightful young man! He was a big help to Linda and me. Housekeeping: the rooms were spotless, they were extremely friendly, and a true pleasure to meet. The entire stay was wonderful, and we have never felt so part of a "family" as we did at The French Quarter Inn. Bravo, Team! We highly recommend this, and will definitely be back.

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.

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.
