The hotel was great, newly renovated and everyone there was helpful and friendly. We would definitely stay there again.
The room was very large and the hotel was nicely renovated. I wish we were better informed of activities occurring in the hotel such as music in the roof garden.
This was our first stay at The Ansonborough. We were very pleased. Our room was very spacious & well appointed. The small bar was welcoming. The location is great: close but not on top of everything. It’s a fairly quiet property so keep that in mind if you’re looking for a bustling, busy atmosphere, this is not your place. But if charm, history & a friendly staff are what you seek, The Ansonborough is the right place
Very nice accommodations and wonderful staff. Too much dog barking, one night after 10 dogs were still barking and this was just across from the front desk! We had had a long weekend and day and needed to get some sleep! Dogs barking again from about 3 different rooms on the first floor right under our room on yesterday afternoon. This is unacceptable. Patrons need to be instructed to take barking dogs outside until they can remain courteous.
Careful if you are below the terrace and theres live music and people, it wont allow you to take a afternoon nap since the walls wont mute out the noise...
I was disappointed that they did not include any coffee downstairs. There was however, K cups in the room. They did not offer any daily room service
in short there were just no extras considering we spent over $1000 for three nights
Someone spilled coffee in the elevator and it was there the remainder of our stay

Our room was absolutely gorgeous and the hotel itself was a design dream come true. Chloe at the front desk was very friendly and offered great recommendations and we were appreciative they were able to accommodate us when we got to town earlier than expected. We definitely will stay here again if we’re ever in back in Charleston.
The only negative was that we had asked for an upper level floor at the time of booking and were put on the first floor right on a busy street instead despite being told they would try to accommodate our request a few weeks in advance… It was definitely loud since the road was literally right next our window.
We received great service both at the front desk and at the bar. This hotel is so cool because of the incorporation of the old warehouse elements. It was a first-rate stay.
Loved the big rooms/tall ceilings and the location. We did have a leak from the ceiling that got all over our things. Hotel did give us a new room quickly but did not help move our things nor did they compensate for any of the damages to our items or inconvenience of moving.
