We loved this hotel and its location to king street. That bikes were so fun to ride around town and that is mainly how we got around was using their bikes or walking. Thank you for the drinks and breakfast foods provided! This was such a lovely stay we will be back.
Room is very clean and nice. Cozy!! Beautiful bath. 2 flights of stairs a bit rough but, but a better price so we took it! Nice, off street parking and near to town to walk there!

Very clean, lovely decor, close to many good eating options
Great location, minimal breakfast items. We had "basic" room downstairs and it was not very quiet both from folks coming and going inside the property and external noise from vehicles and construction equipment. Met our needs and price points. Parking on property is a plus and proximity to MUSC Hospital is great. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom.
Loved the charm and location! We had room number 7, huge bathroom, sitting room with television and extremely comfortable bed. HIGHLY recommend! We used the bikes to ride around the battery and they were in excellent shape. Free parking, free breakfast and snacks..will come back!
Downstairs they had plenty of water , soda , coffee all day breakfast sandwiches morning , afternoon yogurt parfees! Paid $167 first night , $299 second night , compared to other hotels in area at $600 to $1000 a

My room was a well furnished suite with a very comfortable king bed. There was plenty of room to spread out and a welcoming common area downstairs with lots seating inside, and on the porch.
This place was amazing! Cool and comfortable room. We loved the location. Don't waste time going anywhere else. This was a really special trip. We loved it.
Stayed at this beautiful B&B for nights, loved the straight forward but fresh filled bagel and yoghurt options for breakfast, also the available drinks and snacks. Was lucky to have gorgeous weather and enjoy our breakfast on the wrap around porch. The neighborhood was safe and friendly. Accommodation prob 10-15 min walk from downtown but we easily booked Ubers, the on site parking was great meaning we could easily access our car and also get onto the interstates to visit further afield. Only gripe was our room was a little bit dark sine brighter lighting would make some tasks easier for those of us without 20/20 vision.
Wonderful stay at beautiful inn. Lovely, huge room with separate living room and very spacious bathroom. Breakfast sandwiches and much more all included. Lovely staff. Terrific deal ($$$).
The room was gorgeous…. Loved the aesthetics!!
The staff was friendly & helpful and the location was perfect to get a great taste of Charleston ( our first). Check in was very easy and the food, drinks and extras provided were just awesome ! We truly enjoyed our time in Room 4!

Good stay, nice facility - had trouble using coffee maker, more complicated than I am familiar with! My room #2 was vey small, which was ok, but was cold and could regulate the temp! Will be using your facility again and would like location of others! I left my glasses, went back and your service lady had them for me! Greatly appreciated her kindness!!!!!!
By far the best place ive stayed in a while. The area was clean and quiet. Self check in process was easy. The bike rental concept was great. I enjoyed exploring Charleston on a bike. Breakfast offered was simple and accommodating.
The Ashley felt like staying at an old Bed & Breakfast, without having to socialize with anyone😊 Breakfast sandwiches were prepared and left in a warmer every morning, along with fruits, parfaits and beverages. The place was beautifully decorated and the location was perfect!
SO CUTE! we stayed in room 3 and everything was stunning. We spent a lot of time on the verandah, which was gorgeous shared space. The breakfast, snacks and drinks were an awesome extra.
Nice quiet neighborhood location, beautiful home, great parlor, porch sitting areas, first floor. Room is spacious but slightly dated & while AC and humidifiers are well functioning, it can get too cold very easily, especially if unit is right above the bed.
The Ashley is very charming. We had a clean, lovely room with access to the porch, where we would drink our morning coffee. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee were great too.
When checking in, there was a bit of a snafu with our reservation but the woman on the phone who helped me was very kind and accommodating. She immediately took care of the problem.
I would definitely stay there again.
