Excellent. The only shortage is that it doesn’t have an ice machine, we needed some ice for our cooler.

The Ashley is very charming. We had a clean, lovely room with access to the porch, where we would drink our morning coffee. The breakfast sandwiches and coffee were great too.
When checking in, there was a bit of a snafu with our reservation but the woman on the phone who helped me was very kind and accommodating. She immediately took care of the problem.
I would definitely stay there again.

The Ashley felt like staying at an old Bed & Breakfast, without having to socialize with anyone😊 Breakfast sandwiches were prepared and left in a warmer every morning, along with fruits, parfaits and beverages. The place was beautifully decorated and the location was perfect!

I would definitely stay here again. Convenient off street parking, quiet, and easily walkable to numerous places. The grab and go options were nice especially in the morning and returning after a long day.

The Ashley has the perfect vintage charm! Nicely remodeled with new amenities without losing the old Charleston feel. Breakfast availability was great and we didn’t have to use the car once, the property was within easy walking distance of everything we wanted to do. Will be back!

Be aware if it matters; it is not a full service bed and breakfast. There is no staff on site usually. The room and accommodations were fine but its more a self service model. Also it is about a mile or so to most of the main 'attractions' if walking is an issue.

This is a beautiful old home and our room was lovely. The bathroom was gorgeous - the only thing I would change is to add a second mirror as the one above the sink was small and not very clear. A full length in the room would be amazing! We really enjoyed our stay. The breakfast was lack listed. Some real milk for coffee would have been nice. But there are cafes within walking distance and an amazing French patisserie in town.
We would stay here again if we came back to Charleston.

The Ashley is the most beautiful, quaint hotel in the area. We had Room 3 which was perfect for two friends. The main room had a king bed plus desk and coffee area, and a separate room with a fold out sofa! Gave us both the privacy and space we needed. PLUS had the most gorgeous veranda! It was warm enough to sit outside for a bit. The shower had so much water pressure - a treat for California girls. They offered a delicious breakfast bagel and coffee bar with sodas and waters. Great value!
The manager Price was so kind as he had to come back to help us with the lock. He was personable and offered suggestions of where to go and what to do.
We would go back to Charleston just to stay at The Ashley!
