Unique historical property with pleasant inner courtyard, next to City Market. Living room, kitchen and halfbath on entry floor, bedroom and full bath on upper floor, very comfortable beds. Only problem upstairs shower water was barely warm.

We had no hot water, shower controls broken. Needs paint , baseboards dirty. Air conditioning made a loud banging noise that kept us awake all night. Location is perfect.
Great place, a roomy townhouse style with kitchenette, very friendly staff. Right in the heart of everything, nice and enjoyable, will come back for sure.

Charming 120 year old small hotel. Loved the courtyard. Outstandingly helpful young man at the front desk. I didn't want to leave. I would definitely stay there again as long as I can climb stairs.
Lovely 2 level efficiency. Bedroom, den, kitchen and 1.5 baths. Great location for walking and sightseeing!

The young man at the front desk (Jaden?) was partiularly friendly and helpful. This is a charming property in a great location. I would definitely stay there again. I didn't want to leave.
Accommodating staff. BUT.
-The coffee maker in room was terrible.
-No handrail in shower.
-There were no accessible rooms as we requested.
-The wine glasses had lipstick stains in them and were obviously not cleaned.
-Extremely difficult to read room numbers on doors because they were so worn away. -The TV did not function which is fine because the remote was absolutely filthy and disgusting.
-the rug in the lobby is old and lifted which was a dangerous tripping hazard
What a great hotel! We've been on the road with our 8 month old son for a couple weeks. At other hotels, even if we splurged for a suite to get a little extra room for his pack n play, we had to turn the lights off once he went down to sleep. But the Church Street Inn truly felt like a home away from home. We were able to put our son down to sleep on the top floor and stay up watching TV and eating powdered donuts on the floor below. We were also able to sterilize his bottles in the kitchenette in the morning before departing. And the hotel is so centrally located to enjoy the best Charleston has to offer. Right beside the market. Restaurants all around. King Street shopping just two blocks away. We'll be talking about our stay at Church Street Inn for years.
It was an excellent stay with my daughter and granddaughters. An upgrade to a two bedroom unit was extremely appreciated. The area was great to explore all the sights.
Jaden was very knowledgeable and informative.
We loved the layout of the room, it was just like an apartment with the second floor. The room could use being updated and refreshed. For example caulking behind the sink was cracking and pulling away from the wall.
