The Indigo Inn is a lovely property with a fantastic staff. We loved the little perks throughout the day like the continental breakfast, wine and cheese happy hour, and the milk and cookies in the evening. Parking was convenient although rather expensive, and the courtyard was so pretty. The room was small and it was tight accommodations with the three of us, but we made it work. We came during a very hot time so the a/c units in the windows were cranked up which pushed out extra hot air to an already extra hot day and night so getting off the elevator to the third floor was like walking into an oven. The elevator did not seem to have any kind of air flow either so it held onto that hot air. The room never got very cold, unfortunately. Phew! We still enjoyed ourselves very much. The beds were comfortable and the shower was hot with decent water pressure. There is no escaping the heat and humidity during the summer in Charleston and being from NC I am accustomed to it. Despite the sweaty conditions we would still stay here. It's in the perfect spot and the people are so nice and helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Home away from home.

This hotel has a great location in Charleston. The parking lot is directly behind the hotel which is nice, you don't have to park in a parking garage. The rooms are homey; it is like stay at someone's home. There is no carpet in the rooms which to me is a plus, because nothing dates a room quicker than dirty carpet. The courtyard is very nice; we would have loved to enjoy it, but we were there on a record hot day for Charleston in the last 5 years. Beds were very comfy; we would definitely stay here again.

Nice hotel in a great area, walkable to many restaurants, and shopping. Nice cold continental breakfast and managers reception at night. Rooms were set up nicely but are not insulated well so rooms were hot and air conditioning units couldn't keep room cool. They were also doing room renovations so there were items in the way in the hallways and noise at times.

Great location for walking around Historic Charleston. Units at this property have single window air conditioners and they are not enough to keep up with Carolina heat. Come ready to sleep naked on top of the covers if you travel in the Summer. Nice guest food and drink options in the lobby through the day.

The Indigo Inn is in an amazing location with plenty of shopping, restaurants and bars nearby. It has apparently been renovated or updated. But what stood out the most was the service and amenities at the price point. Really nice front desk staff. Great housekeeping. Nice courtyard. In the afternoon they put out drinks and at 5 pm there is a wine and cheese reception. At 8 pm they \put out fresh cookies. I really appreciate the service because you don't get that anymore in most places. I will definitely be back.

Nowhere near a 9.2 hotel!

Indigo in was rated 9.2 on your site it is more like a 7.2. Construction was going on the whole time in the rooms next door we had to walk through the construction mess everyday. Beds were the most uncomfortable I have slept in in the USA! We travel a lot and this was clearly a false rating!
