The Ansonborough - Inn in Charleston - 21 Hasell St, USA

This was our 3rd stay here and everything was nice again except for the weather. There was a tropical storm during our visit so be aware that the parking lot does flood during heavy rains. Would have been nice if the staff had warned us of that ahead of time. Thankfully no major damage to our vehicle but the floor mats did get wet and we were stuck in the hotel all day because the only exit out of the hotel was onto the street that was also flooded. We had an awesome Doordash guy that waded through the flood water to bring us our food or otherwise we'd have been very hungry!

OVERDELIVERING SURPRISES! If you’re like us, the thought of a quaint inn serving as a holiday season family gathering spot in Charleston seemed like an incredible idea. Well the Ansonborough Inn truly overdelivered when it came to surprises. From the minute we arrived, tripping over construction ladders and pulled-up carpet, we could feel the vibe. Doors replaced by tarps and pictures removed from walls were an excellent touch. Greeted with the news that the bar and lobby seating area was shuttered due to these unannounced renovations, we were told not to worry…since the regular dining area had also been demolished, a makeshift converted guest room stuffed with 3 tables was serving the entire inn for complimentary breakfast. Don’t miss breakfast! You say, enough surprises! No, no, many more were delivered! Our intoxicatingly, deeply musty room, toilets that never stopped running and dust filled vents were thoughtful as well. Not to be overlooked, the undersized rutted parking lot was half filled with construction vehicles and material. The sound of hammering, sawing, banging and dancing around construction workers during the day only added to the magic. All this, along with an thoroughly unpleasant general manager, was ours at FULL PRICE…less of course, a concession to waive the gratuitous add-on parking fee! Lucky us! Completely overcome by Ansonborough Inn magic and their deep commitment to customer prevention, we cut our family vacation short a day early and drove home through the night, thinking of the lifetime memories we made - like when hammering woke our granddaughter from her nap and she said “what is that awful smell?” Well done Ansonborough Inn!

This hotel was great! The room was very clean. Loved the layout/style. Very comfortable bed. The lady at the front desk (I didn’t get her name) was exceptionally friendly!! Will most definitely be back and will most definitely recommend this hotel!

Beautiful inn with exceptional rooms. Gorgeous beams with high ceilings and nice high quality paintings and prints throughout. Ongoing updates of cheap paintings, modern lights and furniture are a disappointment.

Always a great experience in a historic location! The front desk was more than helpful when I needed to find temporary office space! Renovations are part of the process sometimes, which could get a little noisy during the day. This can’t be helped and I look forward to seeing the end results. We will be back!

You could not ask for a more helpful or friendly staff. A+ there.||D- for being able to hear my next door neighbors. This is my ONLY complaint - but it is a big issue at this hotel.||||When registering - the staff and management could not have been more helpful. They are your strongest asset. Make the rooms more soundproof and I will be back. ||||Being dog friendly a big plus.||||Note to potential visitors to Charleston - they tax EVERYTHING. Sales tax plus a tax on Pet fees, parking fees, everything!

We searched online for an old building that had become an inn. We found this place. Once we arrived, we knew we had made the right decision. It was very cozy. The ladies at the front desk went over and beyond to make our stay great. We will be back and look forward to seeing the changes being made.

Room was very dated but not historical. Furnishings and fittings are from the 1980’s. Room was very dark. Noise was awful- we were on the ground floor and had noise from front desk and lobby all day. Could hear talking neighbors very clearly. Paid over $400 a night and this hotel is 2 star at best and not a boutique hotel. Couch wornout, no outlets near the bed, mattress old and sunken. Breakfast equal to a Hampton Inn. Only positives were the polite front desk staff and the location. We would never stay here again and would not recommend it.
