Ansonborough Inn, Charleston

Right next to the parking area for Carnival, Next to Harris Teeter, easy in & out of Charleston & next to everything downtown. Parking is extra but you can walk everwhere in the downtown area no need for a vehicle unless you to the beach or across river. We were given a free upgrade to a Luxury Suite for free. Staff was great as well. Already booked again !

We were four "mature" ladies who arrived at 11:30 at night and the clerk got us wine and a cheese pl;ate and a cheese ball. Everyone was so friendly, so helpful, so inviting. The rooms were lovely, the dining room was lovely, the breakfast was super. I loved everything about it.

We found the Ansonborough via an internet search and could not have been more pleased. We were only passing through Charleston & planned to spend only one night, We enjoyed the Ansonborough so much that we stayed an extra night. The wine & cheese social hour was great. We enjoyed the conversation with other guests and sharing ideas of what to do and see. The staff recommended a great restaurant for dinner and arranged a sightseeing tour during our stay. I could not recommend this inn more!!! A real five-star experience.

AWESOME PLACE!!! We have stayed several times & have been very pleased. The rooms are always *spotless*. The staff goes above & beyond your expectations. The wine and cheese social hour is a huge plus. This is a very charming and romantic place to stay that has alot of character. The exposed brick with the huge wooden beams is something I dont think anyone else can even compete with. The distance to all the "things to do" is just a short walk with a Harris Teeter grocery store across the st. The rooftop terrace gives you a great view with seating. I really do not think you would be disappointed with anything. Park your car, check in and have fun!!!

I have stayed at this beautiful B&B many times over the years, I have always found the rooms to be elegantly appointed and perfectly maintained. The location makes it easy to walk to dinner and attractions on Meeting Street. A very romantic getaway for anyone considering it. ( Can buy Champagne/Strawberries from next door as well !) I recommned the Ansonborough Inn to anyone considering Charleston as a vacation destination, and I have never heard of anyone being anything but thrilled.

We stayed at the Ansonborough Inn for one night on our way home. We were able to check in 3 hours early to get settled and see the sights. The staff during the day was very nice...night desk attendant was not so much. Location was great, minutes from all sorts of downtown attractions, shopping and dining. Only hang up was that we called for a 6am wake up call because we had a long drive ahead of us and no one ever called.

Beautiful and quaint inn very quite and peaceful off the beaten path. Lovely room with high ceilings and marble bathroom. Staff very helpful. Easy walk to market We would definitely stay here again.

There was a downpour after check in and before we left for dinner. We were enjoying the cocktail hour and blissfully unaware that the parking lot was flooding. It wasn't until the next day that other visitors asked if my car was okay. Apparently quite a few people watched as cars were flooded during the one hour downpour. Did the Inn personnel warn anyone or ask? NO! I guess it was in the fine print? It took four days for my car to completely dry out. Thank goodness there doesn't seem to be any permanent damage, only the faint smell of a dead animal! Also I accidentally left a nice foam pillow in a beautiful green pillowcase. I travel with this pillow because it is more comfortable than most offered. I called back twice asking (once the night of my departure and again the next day). The desk personnel were only marginally helpful and tried to tell me that my pillow surely looked and felt like every other pillow they had (sage green and many times heavier than regular pillows!). On my last frustrating call they assured me the head person, a Miss Bertha, would call me to let me know if my pillow was found. I never received a call. I am underwhelmed by the "extra" inch the staff goes to make this a truly memorable visit.

This was the best place we've ever stayed. My husband and I went here on our honeymoon and were blown away by not only by how nice the room was, but by the location! You could walk just about everywhere! It was absolutly beautiful!

We were very, very pleased with our stay . . . the staff was very friendly and helpful, the location was excellent - right near Market St., the continental breakfast was fantastic - fresh and well stocked, best coffee ever, lovely rooms . . . a little bit musty due to humidity . . . lots of artwork (not so great paintings but the volume of art added to the warmth) - I would highly recommend staying here!!!!
