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.

There are better values
Pros:

It is very convenient to the market and restaurants, and the staff was very friendly

Cons:

Too many things to list, curtains fell and no definite answer as to if they would be fixed that day, maintenance was going to be there that day for a while, but not sure, they did say they would switch our room, but they did fix them before we had to change clothes a second time and go to bed. One tiny trash can up stairs in bathroom only, no mirror upstairs except for one in upstairs bathroom, they didn’t tell us about the “upstairs” bedroom, only one wash cloth, toilet loose, sink and vanity chipped, the faucet dripped a lot, and I’m in the hospitality business and I didn’t know you could buy that cheap of a toilet paper!, that’s not all, simply put, the value of what we received for what we paid was very out of per portion.

Cons:

The maintenance of the property was poor. Furniture was worn and stained, toilets leaked, sinks were coming off walls. Not the deluxe experience I'd expect given the price.

Best location in the city. Our room was great for a group of 3. Had a full kitchen and extra half bath which was perfect.

Rooms are a bit dated but for the location it’s a great value.
