Top French Quarter Hotel Reviews

The Ryder Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Room was nice and clean and staff was friendly and helpful"

The Loutrel

10/10 Excellent

"The Loutrel had attentive staff, beautiful lobby and an overall great experience. The mezzanine room was a great lounge for our group to get together stocked with snacks and large tv. We rented the included bikes and biked all over Charleston. We ordered a charcuterie board and a bottle of wine which was delivered to the well appointed rooftop. Highly recommend the hotel and will be back!"

Church Street Inn Historic Charleston, Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful hotel. (front Desk) was amazing at taking our bags and carrying them and setting them up in our room. Very convenient for getting around the area and Eric the GM at the (front Desk) was amazing.!! Make sure to book this place when you are in the area is convenient for everything!!!"

French Quarter Inn

8/10 Good

"The hotel has a beautiful interior and rooms are spacious and well appointed. Unfortunately, during our stay the hot water went out. This could happen to any facility. However, staff didn’t communicate well with us about what was happening and/or when we could anticipate repairs. The problem was resolved and we had hot water before checking out today. The continental breakfast and evening wine and cheese reception were very nice with lots of tasty options. The hotel is conveniently located for exploring historic downtown Charleston."

Tides Folly Beach, Charleston's Oceanfront Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful views, but patio door very difficult to open and close/lock. Very hot days and water not always available in lobby. That was disappointing. Great location for sure. We make many trips to Folly, first time staying at hotel. Morning coffee in lobby would be nice versus having to go to Starbucks every morning.Many hotels offer that in our experience. It's a nice way to start the day. The view and location are the reason to stay. Folly is always great"
