We recently stayed at this hotel and the service was excellent. Initially they put us in a room that was extremely tiny. My husband and I are big people and I felt like we couldn't turn around in the room. There wasn't any place to put our luggage - it was small. We ask the bellman to help us and... More

Front desk employees seem befuddled; valets lack finesse. Asked front desk for assistance with restaurant reservations but they were never able to secure a spot at any of the top restaurants. I called restaurants directly and had no problem obtaining reservations. Valet left pricey luggage unattended. When I asked valet for pedi-cab, I was handed a card so I could... More

We stayed here based on my trust in TripAdvisor and it was even better than expected. The service here at the FQI is spot on as well as the location right in the market area close to everything you want to do in Charleston.

In forty years of traveling many places, and staying in many outstanding hotels, who would have thought we would find such a lovely hotel so close to home? We live three hours away from Charleston, and have stayed in practically every hotel in that city. Never have we been treated so much like a treasured friend as we were treated... More

Our last 2 vacations were first class trips to China and Europe and we believe the French Quarter Inn is truly a world-class place! You can't beat the location, walking distance to the carriage rides, excellent eateries, (FIG, Magnolias, Dixie Bakery) the market, and sites. However, what sets the French Quarter Inn apart is the genuine spirit of Southern hospitality... More

We arrived early and they held our bags until check-in time. Very nice and friendly check-in. The breakfast was fantastic and the mornings were wonderful to eat on the nice patio.
