The room itself was in rough shape (broken door lock, dirty couch, dirty walls) The property’s location was the best feature. We were able to park our car and walk everywhere for the two days we were there.

I chose this hotel because of the location, the beautiful pictures and the "award winning" designation on Travelocity. Only one of those three things is true...it is in a prime location for touring Charleston. But there are a lot of properties in this location that do not look nearly as run down...especially for the price ($943 for three nights). You discover at check-in that housekeeping takes place every two days, not including Sunday...so no housekeeping during our stay. The entrance and front desk look like the entrance to a New York subway station, and the "welcome" was, by far, the least welcoming I've received in any hotel. The rooms themselves are clean and quiet, which is one redeeming factor once you make it through the eyesore of the front lobby. I couldn't help but notice a lot of disappointed looks on the faces of other guests as they first stepped in to the Church Street Inn. If the price was under $100, no problem. But with a premium $300+ price point, this place does not measure up. Charleston is an amazing place to visit...but spend your evenings in a different hotel.

We picked this hotel for the location and were vety happy with it. The hotel was very unique with having 2 floors in our unit. The staff was very nice and helpful. The room was perfect for our stay of 3 adults. Very clean and had everything we needed. We took advantage of the free coffee that was offered in the downstairs coffee room as well. They have a lovely courtyard thats lit up at night. We also paid the hotel for the in & out of the public parking garage that worked out great. We would definitely stay again.

Unique two story suite - worked well for us. Good kitchen with full size refrigerator. Hotel is very conveniently located. Only issue was it is classified as long term - so no cleaning during stay. Nice courtyard area. Free coffee in morning. Friendly staff

Wonderful location. Walkable to many restaurants and attractions. Dated interior that needs updating. No breakfast, bar, or amenities. Left one evening for dinner and when I returned there was nobody at front desk. The door was locked and I was unable to get in the hotel, even with my room key for over 30 minutes.

We had a wonderful stay here for our long weekend anniversary trip. The location was absolutely perfect—within walking distance to nearly everything we wanted to see and do. The two-story room was spacious and well-appointed, with a fully equipped kitchen and two bathrooms, making it ideal not just for couples but for families as well. Everything was clean, comfortable, and convenient. We would definitely stay here again!

Walkable to the major attractions: City Market (almost across the street), Old Slave Mart, The Old Exchange, and even catching the ferry to Fort Sumter with comfortable walking shoes. There is no restaurant in the inn, but they have fresh coffee and a lovely courtyard with a fountain. There are many restaurants nearby (recommend TBonz Gill & Grill). We enjoyed a lovely evening listening to live jazz at Forte Jazz Lounge. It felt unsafe out in the streets afterward because it was late, we were in an area with bars, and the college had just graduated, so I don't know if that was an anomaly. The inn gives a pass for nearby parking in the municipal parking garage at $20/day and you can come and go as much as you want. We had no problems with vandalism and saw no graffiti or loiterers in the garage. Our bathroom had some bad quality cosmetic finishing, but everything was sparkling clean, and it was well stocked. The bed was medium firmness and comfy! Keep in mind that Ascend saves old commercial buildings from being demolished and repurposes them as inns, which I applaud, so there are creaky stairs.
