Lodge Alley Inn

Each room is unique due to the historical nature of the building - which only adds to the charm of being in Charleston! This is in the heart of downtown Charleston - once in your room, you can walk everywhere!! One of our favorite places to get-a-way and experience the relaxing life that IS Charleston!!

We just got back a couple weeks ago. The accommodations where perfect. It was like we had our own apartment. Couldn't of asked for a better place to stay or location. One of the best trips we have had. Charleston is a beautiful city with so much history. Plus we never had a bad meal. We plan on returning in the near future.

Studios will be newly renovated! One of the hardest timeshares to get. Everyone loves Charleston!

Great lodgings in the heart of old Charleston. Walk to theatre and restaurants and historic sites.

I Love the Lodge Ally Inn. I have been back multiple times. You can't beat the location. Magnolias' Restaurant, a world class restaurant on many bucket lists is only steps away as is the beautiful seaside park with porch swings all down the pier and loads of other great places to eat and shop.

Spent 4 nights at Lodge Alley Inn in October, 2014. Very well located facility in charming Charleston. Charleston is a walking town, and there's plenty to do, good restaurants, and fun shopping within comfortable walking distance of Lodge Alley Inn. A word of caution about "loft" rooms. The first level contains a huge living/dining room and kitchen area. Sleeping area and bathroom (the only 1) are accessed up a spiral staircase that makes toting luggage difficult. If that doesn't bother you, this is a great place to stay, and I'm hoping to return in the spring. Very friendly, accomodating staff make this a winner.

I have stayed here 3 different times. No complaints for any of the three trips here. Unlike some of the negative reviews i look at the Old Charleston not new!! If you want new stay at a Holiday Inn or whatever is available. The place is charming, love the courtyard in the mornings reading the paper and evenings just relaxing and listening to the music and sounds of fountain. Wonderful restaurants as close as next door or walk a block or two. The old slave market is an open air market where you can find almost anything including local crafts and art, sweet grass baskets are beautiful and you can watch the ladies making them. Rainbow Row is just a few blocks away along with the waterfront park not to mention the battery. If you like grand and old you will love the area. I stayed there as recently as May 2014. My only complaint ever has been the garbage truck, if you are in a certain area of the resort you will hear it but not all.

Stayed here for 2 weeks in 2 different units for a 2 week mgmt. conference spring of 2008. GREAT LOCATION -- you are near downtown, but closer to the battery and the older homes and older shopping districts. Within walking distance to many fine restaurants. There is no reason to have your car once it has been valet parked. The rooms are smaller than some of the newer Bluegreen resorts, but remember the number one rule of real estate: LOCATION -- these units are easily 2-3 times larger than the same price as you'd pay for any of the 20 or so hotels in this area -- or B&B's and they'd be happy to charge twice as much for the smaller space. The kitchens are not huge but adequate -- you don't come to this resort to cook -- you come instead to look at the historical details, cathedrals and eat out and some of the USA's best restaurants -- Conde Nast Traveler often will rate 4-5 of this city's restaurants in the top 100 in the nation. There is seafood, southern comfort cooking, plains and lowlands cuisine here! All delicious! Go for a stroll and see the gardens and historical home tours! I was lucky enough to be here during their "spring garden city" and so I bought a weekend fundraiser pass to let me into about 12 gardens and see inside 10 of those beautiful HUGE southern-style homes in this area... NOT TO BE MISSED... also check out all the antique stores and farmer markets' if you are so lucky to be here on the weekends. They have several annual antique store -- conventions in this city -- that is how much they are into the antique business in this area! So, yes, the rooms do look a bit older -- intentionally so -- it's with keeping with the theme of the resort -- retro-fitted converted industrial lofts -- formerly brick warehouses and cotton textile area mills.
