Great place to stay however the front desk staff did not communicate. They didn’t mention additional charges for pets and parking. We were charged $30 each night for parking and $120 for our pets that was not mentioned. Very dissatisfied and disappointed in the lack of communication but very happy with the suites we have stayed in.

Actually, the food was just OK, when compared to the beautiful design and condition of the Hotel. So a breakfast more fitting to the excellent environment of the Hotel would be an improvement.

Our room was spacious and spotless. Checkin was easy and quick. The breakfast was tasty and the woman working at the breakfast buffet was busy the entire time, cleaning, refreshing food, checking coffee. This was our third time at the Inn and we will be back.

The hotel is in a great location with plenty of free parking across the street. Staff was great, especially the bartender. The room was clean and comfortable. We have stayed there before but not since the remodel. The hotel has lost so much of its warmth and charm with the modernization. The breakfast area is terriblely inadequate, just not enough tables and space with the sofas there. It's still a very nice hotel but I think many of the changes weren't well thought.out

We used to stay at the Ansonborough once a month for several years when I was working in Charleston. We enjoyed the old timbers and three story atrium. Each room is unique which makes it fun. It has several years since we stayed and they have done some renovations that clearly weren’t thought out well. The charming lobby has been modernized and doesn’t fit with the previous decor at all. The dining room has been refurnished and made it hard to find a seat to eat. Mainly lounge chairs. They removed the tv where you could watch the news while having breakfast. They made the dining room smaller in order to create a “hidden” room for poker. Cute but claustrophobic in there. Sadly, They used to leave a plate of delicious chocolate chip cookies out every night but that’s gone now. I think we’ve stayed at the Ansonborough for the last time.
