Walkable to the major attractions: City Market (almost across the street), Old Slave Mart, The Old Exchange, and even catching the ferry to Fort Sumter with comfortable walking shoes. There is no restaurant in the inn, but they have fresh coffee and a lovely courtyard with a fountain. There are many restaurants nearby (recommend TBonz Gill & Grill). We enjoyed a lovely evening listening to live jazz at Forte Jazz Lounge. It felt unsafe out in the streets afterward because it was late, we were in an area with bars, and the college had just graduated, so I don't know if that was an anomaly. The inn gives a pass for nearby parking in the municipal parking garage at $20/day and you can come and go as much as you want. We had no problems with vandalism and saw no graffiti or loiterers in the garage. Our bathroom had some bad quality cosmetic finishing, but everything was sparkling clean, and it was well stocked. The bed was medium firmness and comfy! Keep in mind that Ascend saves old commercial buildings from being demolished and repurposes them as inns, which I applaud, so there are creaky stairs.

Wonderful HOTEL

Perfect location in downtown Charleston, right across the street from the markets! Restaurants galore, shopping, carriage rides and easy walking down to Rainbow Row and all the historic homes. Just a perfect stay, the hotel was very nice but had that historic feel with the grand staircase and the rooms were equipped with a kitchen, separate living and bedroom upstairs plus 1 1/2 baths. Would stay here anytime I was visiting Charleston! Will definitely be back someday! Very affordable in comparison to other downtown hotels but had a great vibe and a beautiful courtyard to enjoy morning coffee or anytime during the day to just relax and enjoy the weather.

This hotel was in a great location that was convenient to shopping and restaurants. Unfortunately, the person at the front desk when we checked in was extremely rude. We asked for towels after the second day and never received them. When we approached the desk clerk, we were (reluctantly) given the towels. The hotel needs some upkeep and could work on cleanliness. The courtyard is beautiful. When we booked the trip, the hotel advertised a full breakfast but we were told that there was no breakfast available except coffee. Note: I’ve NEVER left a bad review of a hotel but felt it necessary for future patrons.

Property looks like miniature condos with an upstairs and downstairs so keep in mind for the elderly. Parking is off site at public parking lot around the corner. Location is excellent thought, right in the heart of downtown near Meeting & King St. Housekeeping only cleans the rooms every 3-4 days so you may not get a cleaning if your there for a short weekend.
