Exceptional

The hotel is beautifully decorated and very well located right in the heart of Charleston.
Our check in experience was extremely disappointing. The gentleman on reception was very abrupt and hostile. Definitively not what you would expect from someone working in hospitality. He was not very forthcoming with information and even when we asked questions, he was very reluctant to answer and even rolled his eyes.
Excellent property, and in walking distance to the Market.

Room smelled very musty. No hot water in room, at best it was lukewarm or cold. Told staff and there only comment was sorry no one else said anything. It’s a very nice hotel as far as architecture and decorating. Bright spot was the roof top access and bar. The bartender was very friendly. She was the highlight of the staff. Everyone else couldn’t be bothered.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service
So bummed to not be able to give this stay 5-stars. Even though the room was so beautiful, the lack of general hospitality shown by staff was disappointing. It had a "down" feeling about the place. Even housekeepers would barely say good morning back to you or return a smile. Throughout the evening, you could hear the ambient music playing while in our room. I'm a frequent traveler of CHS and decided to try this property, but unfortunately I'd rather have a smaller room with a more hospitable environment than one that's large with little amenities or general kindness.
Pros:
Clean and recently renovated
Great location
Cons:
Sounds of road traffic
Friend wanted toothpaste, they charged $4 for toothpaste & toothbrush
Free breakfast is only a pastry, mixed fruit bowl and a small glass of orange juice
Exceptional hospitality and cleanliness! Beautifully renovated hotel with modern decor and clean carpet, shower, and amenities. Litterally the BEST hotel stay!
AMAZING hotel! Literally, one of the best experiences we've had with a hotel. The Ansonborough Inn exceeded our expectations in hospitality, cleanliness, and comfort. We will definitely stay here again when we visit Charleston.
