Our one bedroom suite was perfect! We loved the room and the full kitchen. There was plenty of room to spread out and make ourselves at home. The location was great and we could walk to all the beautiful Charleston sights.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the one-bedroom suite, full kitchen, and comfortable space to settle in. It’s great to hear the location worked well for exploring Charleston. We truly appreciate you staying with us and would be happy to host you again anytime!
The studio room was very clean and very spacious. It was very quiet as well. We heard absolutely nothing from other guests or the outside during our time there. The location was excellent to be able to walk thru the historic district!

Excellent stay at Abby Lodge! The location is perfect — an easy walk to the French Quarter and close to everything you’d want to see in Charleston. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and full of helpful information about the area.Our suite was thoughtfully laid out with everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the sitting room was a relaxing spot to unwind. Having a full kitchen was a huge plus — we loved being able to make our own breakfast. The shower was great too, and the provided shampoo, conditioner, and body gel were all good quality.Highly recommend

Our room was very clean and spacious. The furniture look new and in perfect condition. Fireplace was a nice addition but since we traveled in the spring we did not use it. The location was perfect to explore the historic district as well. The rooms were totally soundproof, we heard nothing! Staff was very friendly. A large courtyard was a great place to relax outside when we wanted some down time.

No pool as stated in the add. No king bed available as also stated. Good location. Friendly staff
Gorgeous room, clean and nicely decorated! Fireplace and balcony overlooking courtyard. Super comfortable bed. Gabby at reception was very responsive to my questions and requests. Centrally located, easy walks to attractions, no need for a car rental. Lyft and Ubers at the ready for any excursions and airport travel. Would rent again for sure, very impressed!

We had a beautiful well equipped room and sitting area. We loved its proximity to everything we wanted to do and see in downtown Charleston. The staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful in booking tours for us and giving us restaurant recommendations. We were greeted so warmly every time we left and returned. The room was such a pleasant place to return to with a comfortable seating area ( and fireplace which we did not need to use!)

Host was dishonest about the listing. I booked 2 double beds, but second bed was a pull out couch. Host also booked another party for my room and asked to me changed rooms halfway through the trip.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear that your stay did not meet expectations. We understand how important accurate listing details and a smooth, uninterrupted stay are, and we regret any confusion or inconvenience caused regarding the bedding setup and room change request. This is not the experience we aim to deliver, and we are reviewing the concerns raised to ensure better clarity and consistency moving forward. We appreciate your stay and your input.
Delightful property. Faced the street so a bit noisy but quieted out about 10 or 11. All service was friendly and responsive. Didn’t find a pool but didn’t ask
We loved staying at Lodge Alley Inn! Room was perfect and the location is excellent for enjoying life in Charleston. Great experience and we will definitely stay here again.
Property through VRBO was not accurately described. There was not heated pool or outside shower. For the cost of this room we definitely were overcharged. 3 women in 1 queen bed and sofa bed was not acceptable. It took 40 minutes to check in. Girl at front desk was trying to get a room with 2 queen beds. We were informed that property owners were the only ones that got those rooms. The lodge alley inn was beautiful. Sleeping arrangements were not great.
The unit is now part of a hotel managed by Hilton Resorts. This happened one week before our arrival. The front desk, concierge, and valet were incrediably professional and accommodating. The host actually called us directly on our first day there to ask if everything was ok - a nice approach. The unit is ideally located in the French Quarter - walking distance to the attractions, wonderful restaurants, and even a full size grocery store. We loved our stay.
