Room was great. Very clean & tastefully decorated with a Charleston feel & look. Host provided everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Future guests should understand that they are not guest of the Lodge Ally Inn vacation club and will need to park their own vehicle as Valet parking is not permitted by hotel employees. High Cotton restaurant next door is an excellent dining experience!! Lots of good dining within easy walking distance on East Bay St and in the market area. Plenty shopping too!

Great location, walkable to everything. The unit is very nice, and as described. Only 1 true bed and 1 bath which is in the lofted area, but we stayed with 2 adults and 3 kids and were comfortable enough!

Beautiful Charleston

This property was in the perfect location for walking the city. Close to many restaurants, parks, and interesting sites. The bedroom and bathroom are upstairs which they did mention but be careful if you have any mobility issues. We loved our stay at this lovely condo.

Wonderful location, spacious room.

We recently stayed here as a family (2 kids). The room was clean, well furnished, with a wonderful location. Central to most tourist activities, or a short walk away (20 min walk to the aquarium, and Fort Sumter boat), was very convenient. This is where we will stay next time we come to Charleston!
