Nice hotel. Staff was very friendly at check in. We received a champagne welcome and enjoyed the daily wine and cheese reception and evening cookies. Hotel was a good location for us. The beds were comfortable, there was a pillow menu and the bathroom was huge; however the room was a little dark. Overall, would stay here again!
The French Quarter was a beautiful hotel with a great complimentary breakfast! The cookies and milk in the evening were an added anticipated benefit. The best part was it's location to shopping, restaurants and the carriage ride. All were in walking distance of 1, 2, or 3 blocks! I have found my Happy Place!
Everything was amazing. The staff, the location, the charm of the hotel, and the price made the French Quarter Inn one of our favorites! We’ll definitely return there soon!!
The staff and amenities were amazing! Everyone there was so nice and we really enjoyed our stay. The location was also great! Would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location, walking distance to all the sites, shops and restaurants. We enjoyed the special amenities like the free bike rentals, wine & cheese hour, milk and cookies and board games. The staff was extremely hospitable and take pride in the extra touches. Bob especially went above and beyond to make our stay extra special!

Yes nice boutiques and The Charleston Place all in walking distance. Dinner at Magnolia’s was amazing!
Our experience at French Quarter Inn was fabulous!! We had two spacious rooms that were very clean and were serviced twice a day. We were amazed by the amenities. The continental breakfast and nightly wine and cheese were included. The staff hospitality was the best part. The front desk ladies greeted us with warm welcomes and glasses of champagne. Please don’t change a thing at French Quarter Inn because we can’t wait to come back!
Staff was super friendly and accommodating. Even offered to pack a breakfast for us since we were leaving before the breakfast opened. The wine happy hour is such a nice touch.
Loved the Location - walk to everything. staff was great . Breakfast, wine and cheese and cookies with milk were a real treat. Lobby and courtyard were very welcoming
I can’t say enough great things about The French Quarter Inn. The best service ever! Staff took care of all our needs like sending a text daily to see how things were going. Anything that we asked they graciously provided. The lady who cleaned our room was Graciela. She was friendly and did a great job taking care of us. She spoke very highly of the hotel and how the hotel took great care of them so that we as guest could also be taken cared of. It was awesome. Luxury hotel care with true Southern hospitality.
This place was amazing. It was luxurious but affordable. The staff were extremely helpful. The rooms were so nice and the attention to little personal details was awesome. It was also so close to nice restaurants and shopping. 10 out of 10 experience. I will be staying here again!
Very clean hotel with attentive staff in a perfect location. Kimberly, at the front desk, was very helpful though she could use the help of a concierge. Not an easy task to wear both hats but she balanced both. Izzy was lots of fun at the bar. I had a small issue and Kristen and the rest of the staff more than made up for it. My only negative is that the shade in my room really needed replacing as it was held together with large safety pins, and kind of an eyesore. Would definitely return.

Incredible service, beautiful hotel with many special touches. My family loved the breakfast, warm cookies at night and the engaging and friendly staff. We can’t wait to make our way back to Charleston for another stay.
