Absolutely stunning hotel! The atmosphere blends historic charm with modern elegance. The lobby features original wooden beams that add a warm, rustic touch, perfectly complemented by the beautifully curated decor throughout the space. I especially loved the quaint bar—intimate and stylish, with a great selection. One of the highlights was the hidden speakeasy-style poker room tucked away in the lounge. It added such a unique and fun element to the stay. Highly recommend for anyone looking for character and comfort in one place.
While it had a nice room and is conveniently located it doesn’t feel like a high end hotel because there is no life or energy in the lobby, bar, or sitting areas. Felt like a high end rooming house. The QR code to order continental breakfast is an unnecessary barrier and it arrives in a brown bag and was terrible. Soggy plastic wrapped danish an OJ and ice cold unripe melon. We could have done better at 7-11. They have a coffee area that could easily handle a normal continental breakfast spread where folks help themselves. Their penny wise pound foolishness will be their undoing.
The Ansonborough was a cute, comfortable and updated hotel to stay at. We loved that it was in walking distance of downtown Charleston, East Bay Street and King street. This is a perfect hotel to stay at when you are looking for quiet relaxing hotel.
Staff was helpful and friendly. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. We loved the location, super easy to get around the city and close to a Harris Teeter. Would definitely recommend!
The hotel itself is lovely. It's in an old paper warehouse and they did a wonderful job of making comfortable rooms while retaining the original architecture. My complaint is with how they do breakfast. They have an app in which you can order a few items which they leave in a bag on the counter. It's like they are still operating under covid protocols. They have coffee, but if breakfast is important to you, plan on finding a local restaurant. Parking is easy across the street in their private lot for about 30 dollars a day. Street parking in this part of town is near impossible.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Breakfast was very disappointing!! You have to place an order for breakfast and then they give you a boxed breakfast. Really no options and very limited! I like to have yogurt and that wasn’t even an option! The Hampton does a better job!
Very disappointing given this is a chic boutique hotel.

Disliked: Staff & service
Our neighbors were up partying very late (until about 4:00 am). We knocked on their door a couple of times, no answer. We called the front desk and the lady working came up to our room and then told us she couldn't hear anything because she was hard of hearing! She did nothing!
Great location downtown. Was able to walk to all the bars and restaurants. A small grocery store is across the street to pick up a few things for the room.

Amazing hotel! Friendly and southern hospitality !
Great location! Friendly staff, very clean hotel. Rooms are very large and comfortable. Harris Teeter next door which is convenient when you forgot to pack an item. Will definitely stay here again.
The facility was very nice but we could hear people in the hallways and the room next to ours. Also, we were awakened just before 6:40 am with a very loud and persistent noise that lasted nearly 10 minutes.
