The Neighborhood:
What do we love about this neighborhood? Everything!

Each house is unique. The culinary scene for which the Charleston has become so famous is just steps away.

The fantastic restaurants and nightlife of Upper King Street are close enough to walk but far enough to not keep you up all night.

Even better than expected!
This was one of the best stays I've ever booked. The place was quiet and if I hadn't seen the other cars in the lot, I would have believed I had the entire place to myself. Would recommend and book again in a heartbeat! Check in was smooth and easy and I so appreciated the hot grab and go breakfast!

First Trip To Charleston
First time in Charleston and one of the best vacation experiences. Loved the accommodations at The Ashley. The owners have thought of almost every possible need. Will recommend this place to anyone asking for a great place to stay. Thanks for making this first time visit so memorable.

The location and the condition of this property is definitely a five star. We thoroughly enjoyed being there. Wish we could’ve enjoyed the outside fire pit. Tank was out of gas. Very nice to have bicycles. Do use while staying on the property as well. Would definitely stay here again.

You’re crazy not to stay here
Are you and your partner looking for a place to spend your weekend in Charleston? Are you trying to stay in walking distance of King St. and historic downtown? Are you trying not spend half your life savings on a hotel that costs $500 a night?? Then man oh man look no further. The Ashley is gorgeous, newly renovated, clean, and quiet. My fiance and I spent mothers day weekend there and loved the king size bed and walk in shower. We loved having almost no interaction with other guests. Hotel staff was super responsive and easy to get ahold of if we ever needed anything. AND they had breakfast waiting for us in the lobby area from a local bagel joint. Its a quick 10 minute walk to King St. and 30 minute walk to the battery. Lovely, beautiful, safe neighborhood. They have bikes to use for free too (although we didnt think charleston was the most bike friendly). Look. Charleston is beautiful but its stupid expensive. If you’re a budget-focused travel-happy couple like we are, you’d be dumb not to stay here.

Ashley review
We were given the wrong password to get into the building and had to call twice. Also the place is really noisy being on a corner lot - all night long all I could hear was the traffic. The house is really cool lots of history and great location. However, I would not consider staying again as I could not sleep very well. The bed Also need's to be upgraded. Charleston Rocks and will be coming back again very soon.

Nice Get Away
Ashley Inn was comfortable and supplied all the basics. It is a bit of a walk from the bust downtown but that is what we wanted...a good walk to and from our activities. We only used our rental car to drive out of town one time. We'd definitely go back! Thank you.
