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.

Nice place, with a few minor flaws.

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.

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.

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!

The hotel is wonderful from start to finish. The building was an old printing press business and the renovation is very well done. The rooms have high ceilings, big windows and a marble coffee bar space. The bathroom is well laid out with beautiful map wallpaper. I found everyone who worked there extremely pleasant-from the late night front desk manager to the day manager to the lovely woman who helped at breakfast. Bonus is the beautiful rooftop bar.
