Great Experience on King Street
Pros:

I had a great experience with the Check-in Charleston team and their 2 bedroom unit in Quarters on King. They, particularly Emily, couldn’t have been more prompt, helpful or friendly. The unit itself (202) exceeded my expectations. It has a large open family room/kitchenette space with 10’ or so ceilings throughout and large bedrooms with comfortable beds plus tons of closets and storage space if needed. It was clean and clearly well-cared for. The hardwood floors glistened. Though we didn’t have time to use it, there was a bonus large deck with a grill. The location was perfect. Kind of in the middle of King Street so most everything was accessible. All in all a definite 5 star experience.

Pros:

We had a great stay at the Quarters on King. They were able to check us in early, which was really helpful. The apartment was also beautiful and comfortable.

That said, King Street is incredibly noisy during the weekend, so bring earplugs!

Do not stay here
Pros:

When checking in trying to find parking was bad. There is a lot of construction going on near the building area. Stayed in the room over Super Bowl weekend. Had to download an an app to stream the game because local channel cable was nonexistent! The door knob to get into the building hallway was very loose! Not to mention the room knob! A light was hanging by only wires in one of the rooms. The toilet dispenser in the other room was about to come off. A tile came out in the floor of one shower. No place to put shampoo or soap l except on the shower floor! Took them two days to come out and repair the room knob and light! We went out for the day and came back and there was a can of Red Bull with a straw on the counter!!! None of us drank it! The closest parking they say is up the street is almost a mile away. The closest one to the room is a lot a day and must move your car by 7 am! Some could say I’m high maintenance with this, but when you pay that rate for four nights stay this all is unacceptable!!!!

Great place right on King street
Pros:

What an amazing place! HUGE living area and kitchen, big bedrooms, nice bathrooms. Great location on King street, right in the heart of everything. Only negatives were no parking on site (no big deal), and I'd put King beds in the bedrooms instead of queens. Also if someone was staying longer, they might want more amenities in the kitchen (more kitchen supplies). But finding Keurig pods already here - awesome! Would definitely rent again!

Pros:

Unfortunately I was unimpressed by the communication. The listing stated parking for $18 per day, I asked for parking immediately upon booking, at least twice. The week before my arrival, I asked again and was told none was available. That I could go to a public parking for $38 per day. I asked for them to make up the difference and they agreed. I have been emailing for a week, sent receipts and no answer. This was disappointing. Other than that everything was good. I think it may be noisy with other guests and traffic. But that wasn’t a big issue for me. The lack of communication is a HUGE disappointment for me.

The condo was spacious and very clean. Right on King St in middle of old town. View of the street below.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Highly recommend it for a visit to Charleston SC.

Pros:

You could not get a better location for walkability and everything you needed. Because you are downtown you do have the city traffic noise but that is to be expected for trade off of the location.

Pros:

Lodging was comfortable however, there is construction happening next door which woke us up each morning we stayed there. Also, there is a patio where 2nd floor guests can sit, and their noise traveled up to the 3rd floor as well.

Pros:

Very upscale, large space. Great for entertaining and feeling like you're at home. The stairs up to the unit can be a bit daunting if you have any knee or mobility issues, but otherwise I'd happily stay there again.

Pros:

When we booked this hotel
They said it was a walk up. It was 3 flights with luggage. There was no assistance no parking, very difficult to find to gain entrance. Crazy construction everywhere. Called several times because there is no available staff on property. If you ever consider staying here look somewhere else. Never again.

Pros:

Great location, though be aware how loud king st is at pretty much all hours, but especially at night. The place was cool, but definitely a bit run down. Stains on the rug, lots of marks on the floors and rugs, the shower curtain was not super clean and yeah it’s nice to have a kitchen but it would’ve been hard to cook much of anything in it, it was very basic. The toilet paper was the cheapest stuff you can imagine, which seemed odd given how much the cost per night of this place is. The ac worked well and the bed was comfortable. The place also smelled VERY strongly of lemon cleaning chemicals upon arrival. Took a few hours to get rid of the smell, I’d recommend the company switch to something less stringent.

Pros:

Ceiling was peeling and looked a little unappealing. The room had a unpleasant smell, could use some air freshener. This is a fantastic location. Parking is not ideal. The stairs are steep and narrow. I would stay here again to see how other rooms compare. I know they were doing some renovations on other units so hopefully this one will be soon.
