Charming 120 year old small hotel. Loved the courtyard. Outstandingly helpful young man at the front desk. I didn't want to leave. I would definitely stay there again as long as I can climb stairs.

All of the staff people were very helpful and offered great info for places to eat and how to get there, as well as allowing us to hang out in the relaxing courtyard with our six adult children, until it was time for them to leave for their flights out. The ONLY downside for us was the stair climb once in the room. We are older, and were so exhausted from wandering around town on foot for 5 hours… There IS a lobby elevator, but still stairs to climb up to the bed space…. Still, we would highly recommend this inn!

Staff was very nice and accommodating. The room was very comfortable and clean. However, it was a bit beat up - some peeling paint and dings in the molding/baseboard, etc.

Property was ok! Location is great! Hotel needs a major facelift. The site is rundown and needs updates. Our room was good, but bathroom needs complete overhaul. The previous guest had almost broken the floating sink off the wall and the sink did not drain because of it. Has great bones just needs some TLC.

Great location and roomy
The Church Street Inn is centrally located and convenient to everything Charleston has to offer. The room we stayed in was very roomy, nicely appointed, quiet, and clean. Some TLC is needed (eg, the majority of the towel racks were broken/partially falling off the wall, lots of scuffs on walls and baseboards) and I found it odd that there was no soap in the downstairs bathroom and only 1 bar in the upstairs one. A few of the lightbulbs were burnt out but were promptly changed when I notified the front desk. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.

All in, a fine experience. But more than needed for a few days in town with a two story room. The place smells like cleaning fluid.

Loved the hotel and staff, very comfortable stay. The only down side the room had a musty smell and the microwave was missing handles, it was a little tricky to use. Other than that I would stay there again because it was so convenient to everything.

A great location in the historic district of Charleston. We had two different rooms. The first was a little shabby with area of woodwork needing paint, with scuffed furniture, and a bedroom wall which was only partially painted, the newer paint on one wall coming down only as far as the side of the bed which wasn't flush with the wall.
