Great Charleston Stay!

Overall, this was a great accommodation! Room was spacious and clean, and nicer than pictures show! Only minor hiccup was an issue with our room key, but the managers helped resolve it! Great location, easy to walk to King St. and waterfront. Highly recommend for a stay in Charleston!

Really enjoyed our stay. Great location to explore the city on foot. Our room was right over the restaurant and we could hear the nightly live music but we asked for a fan at the front desk and that worked great.

We’ve stayed at Lodge Alley Inn many times and always have a great stay. The staff is always friendly and prompt to get you checked in. This room was one of the best with a balcony on the courtyard with a picture perfect cue. We hope to come back many more times!

Great location, good value in French Quarter

We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge Alley Inn. The location was great - easy walking distance to many great restaurants, rooftop bars and historic sites. The bed was very comfy, the bathroom spacious, and the sitting area was comfortable to hang out in. The staff was helpful and friendly but we didn't engage much wishing to avoid the sales pitch. Our only suggestion would be for a bit more light in the bedroom area. We would definitely check availability here for any future trips to Charleston.

Great space for these first-timers…

This was a perfect space for our family, except for a little night time noise. Luckily, our kids were able to sleep right through it. We loved the location, we could walk to everything. Our room was great, with everything we needed. The staff at the property was top notch! Thanks for a great first time visit to Charleston…we’ll definitely be back!!!

Taylors visit

We enjoyed our stay. The air conditioning did not work. Maintenance probably saying so we could sleep there the first night. Next day we were transferred to another room couple of doors down where the air was working in similar accommodation, but we still have an enjoyable time other than having to pack up and move everything. Thank you for allowing us to have a good day.

Great Location But More of a Hotel Room

You cannot beat the location and the staff is great. This is more of a hotel room than a typical Vrbo. There is no kitchen or dining area and no laundry facilities. Housekeeping is an extra fee. Upon arrival, we were told that we would have to change rooms for our last night. The owner wanted nothing to do with helping with that. He said that any stay over 4nights can have a room change so be careful if you want more than 4 nights. We were able to work it out with Sam, the manager, who is GREAT! We got past that and had a fine time because it is a great location within walking distance of so much.

VRBO cancelled our first night without giving a reason!

When you combine VRBO and a time share property, you get a mess. Our first night was cancelled only 1 week before our stay, and no reason was given. The remaining 2 nights were fine, but we had to find a hotel for the night that was cancelled on us. We were promised a refund of the 1st night, but we haven't seen it yet, of course.
