The staff was the best part of this visit. Every single person was so friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. My issue is that the facility is dated for the price of room and dining. The adult pool was not clean. Scum around the trim and missing tiles were a turnoff. Again the staff deserve all the praise that would bring me back to stay.

This was a lovely property with a nice, large room with kitchenette and big bathroom. There were no VIP perks or even knowledge of it so it really should not be a VIP property. Breakfast basket was nice and varied each morning. Wonderful coffee shop attached. Nice rooftop pool for a quick cool off. Wonderful location with proximity to King Street and College of Charleston.

Enjoyed a wonderful stay in Charleston at the Ansonborough. The check-in process was quick and the staff were pleasant. Our room was clean, spacious and we loved the decor as well as the architecture at this boutique hotel. The parking is very conveniently located across the street and there are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance of the hotel.
