We’ve stayed at Lodge Alley Inn many times and always have a great stay. The staff is always friendly and prompt to get you checked in. This room was one of the best with a balcony on the courtyard with a picture perfect cue. We hope to come back many more times!

Great location, good value in French Quarter
We enjoyed our stay at the Lodge Alley Inn. The location was great - easy walking distance to many great restaurants, rooftop bars and historic sites. The bed was very comfy, the bathroom spacious, and the sitting area was comfortable to hang out in. The staff was helpful and friendly but we didn't engage much wishing to avoid the sales pitch. Our only suggestion would be for a bit more light in the bedroom area. We would definitely check availability here for any future trips to Charleston.

Great space for these first-timers…
This was a perfect space for our family, except for a little night time noise. Luckily, our kids were able to sleep right through it. We loved the location, we could walk to everything. Our room was great, with everything we needed. The staff at the property was top notch! Thanks for a great first time visit to Charleston…we’ll definitely be back!!!

VRBO cancelled our first night without giving a reason!
When you combine VRBO and a time share property, you get a mess. Our first night was cancelled only 1 week before our stay, and no reason was given. The remaining 2 nights were fine, but we had to find a hotel for the night that was cancelled on us. We were promised a refund of the 1st night, but we haven't seen it yet, of course.

Homeless in Charleston
Let me start by saying the property is outstanding. The location is perfect to see the sights in Charleston. However, the property is a timeshare and apparently the owner combined 2 rooms together for our stay. We paid for our reservation 4 months in advance. Once on site we were informed that we would have to move out the next day and find a hotel, then come back the following day and recheck in. Owner simply refunded 1 night leaving us homeless in Charleston. The concierge at the property, seeing our frustration, helped us work a 1 night stay at the Inn and charged us for that. Overall we waisted a day trying to coordinate a room. Very disappointed!!!

Great Location But More of a Hotel Room
You cannot beat the location and the staff is great. This is more of a hotel room than a typical Vrbo. There is no kitchen or dining area and no laundry facilities. Housekeeping is an extra fee. Upon arrival, we were told that we would have to change rooms for our last night. The owner wanted nothing to do with helping with that. He said that any stay over 4nights can have a room change so be careful if you want more than 4 nights. We were able to work it out with Sam, the manager, who is GREAT! We got past that and had a fine time because it is a great location within walking distance of so much.

Location is really wonderful
This is a great location to enjoy Charleston and our room was clean and mostly comfortable. I booked our visit for 4 days but somehow it was separated into two, 2 day reservations which we didn't notice until we checked it. This was not indicated at the time of booking. Luckily, the front desk was able to adjust this and we did not have to move. The main building where our unit was located seemed oddly unlevel. Our bathroom had a distinctive slope down to a single very low sink. The small area where the coffee maker, microwave, etc. is located was so small, we had to relocate items in order to have any space to deal with food. Lastly, the walls are not insulted much and we recommend ear plugs if you don't want to be bothered by music from the restaurant next door or family's with children in nearby rooms who are up early and bouncing off the walls. Not sure I would stay here again, but it is a great location.
