Great Location

Other reviews warn about a timeshare presentation but we were never approached about that. It’s an old building so naturally it’s noisy but the front desk delivered a box fan at our request which helped a ton! Our room was even better than we thought it was going to be: very spacious and comfortable. We checked in late at 11:00pm without any issues as someone is there 24 hours a day. Very walkable location and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

The Lodge at Alley Inn is in the perfect location. We stayed in a studio and it was very roomy, and well appointed. The valet service was perfect, though most days we chose to walk around.

This is a great property. Would definitely stay here again. A little bit of noise if you’re on the second floor due to the bar downstairs, but nothing earplugs don’t resolve. Walking distance to all over downtown Charleston.
