I adore this boutique hotel! The King balcony suite was perfect. The room was spotless, large, and my balcony overlooked the water feature in the courtyard. Excellent customer service, especially from Serena at the front desk, Marvin, and the housekeeper Susan. I will return. Thank you FQI for making my solo trip memorable!

Hotel's Favorite
If you are looking for the perfect place to stay in Charleston, look no further. Everything about the French Quarter Inn is superb. The bedrooms are large with all the expected amenities. The staff is well trained, warm and friendly and eager to help. The public areas are classy and comfortable, and the location (a short half block from the City Market) is walk able to just about any desired restaurant or site. We loved our stay at the French Quarter Inn and look forward to returning soon.

I like staying at beautiful gracious hotels and after a wonderful stay, I add this to my list of all time greats. Stunningly beautiful. Very well located. Extremely helpful staff. The extra amenities were amazing - Champagne at check-in, wonderful breakfast food served at your room or buffet style, seating anytime in the courtyard, pre-dinner wine and light food were excellent. I loved fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and milk before bed. Vacation is a great time to indulge and this hotel is a wonderful place to indulge. Our double queen room was large and beautiful. I think that I saw some complaints about rooms in previous reviews. They seem to have many classes of rooms and they are well described on the web-site. But I also called and spoke to a very friendly and helpful person to pick my room. Charleston is a great walking town. And the hotel was nicely located for taking a break in the middle of the day. …

This is a great hotel to stay in to visit historic Charleston. Very friendly staff and impeccable service. We stayed for two nights and would have no hesitation in returning. The evening wine, charcuterie and cheese reception was excellent (as was the sparkling wine on arrival). Our King Suite room was spotlessly clean and very quiet. Charleston is an expensive place to visit and the French Quarter Inn is an expensive hotel but worth it in comparison to others nearby.

We loved our visit to Charleston. Such a great city. The city's history and food are outstanding. The French Quarter Inn was very nice. Good breakfast, good rooms, nice happy hour, and nice staff. However, the hotel, including its furnishings, is a bit tired. To warrant its price and its reviews a bit of TLC is needed.

We have been staying at FQI for over 4 years and always cannot wait to go back. It’s like going home to visit family and we are treated like family. We are greeted by name, and awesome smiles. The team knows our family and always wants updates on everyone. They always go above and beyond and know our needs. This goes from the bellman to to front desk to food and beverage and housekeeping. The staff is amazing, the food is perfect, the rooms are beautiful and very comfortable and you cannot beat the location. The service is over the top and we are always sad to leave.

Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated. Lots of space to store clothing. Loved the silky feeling sheets and plenty of fluffy towels as well as bath amenities. Charming patio off lobby area with tables and chairs to enjoy all the many food and drink options provided throughout the day including breakfast, hot and cold beverages, wine and cheese (way above the average served in other inns), topped off with hot cookies and milk before bed. The inn is located within walking distance of many fine restaurants. The front desk staff is wonderful. Felt like a vacation with all the comforts of home.

We spent seven days at the French Quarter Inn in Charleston, right in the center of the French Quarter. Exceptional hotel, with some special daily events, like wine and cheese at 5:30, cookies at 8:00, tasty food and wine. Drinks are available all day with a beautiful terrace open for breakfast if you so choose. Walking distance to everything in the historic district. Friendly people in all positions, very accommodating. Great place to stay in Charleston.
