Pros:

The location was perfect for what we wanted. The night staff when we checked in was friendly and the morning staff and general manager when we checked out were also friendly. The room was amazing, we had never seen a loft style hotel room before, and we fell in love. We definitely will be keeping this on the list of places to stay when we come back through Charleston.

Wonderful Experience at Church Street Inn
Pros:

My wife and I spent a few days in Charleston and this Hotel was fantastic! Room was great and had everything you could ask for. The front desk staff was extremely friendly, pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable of the Historic area. We encountered 3 different front desk associates during our stay and each was a delight and genuinely concerned we were enjoying our stay. We met General Manager Eric Curtis checking out and found him to be a great person. Church Street Inn should be proud of Eric and the Team at this establishment. We will highly recommend to others. Thank you for a great stay!

Perfect location
Pros:

We’ve stayed here 3 times. Perfectly located to walk to many of the sights…galleries, the market, Black Fedora, etc. Convenient parking at the corner garage. The one time there was a water issue (city problem) the room was comped. Good employee interaction. Just be aware your two story room means hauling luggage up stairs.
