Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Property managers were very professional and welcoming. We appreciated the upgrade offered to us and we enjoyed our stay at the Snopes. Breakfast was home cooked and very tasty. The only downside is that the property is located on a busy intersection and it is a bit noisy.
Very nice room in a preserved older building with exposed brick and local charm.
Cindy checked us in and also checked on us daily- she was very kind and helpful.
Wonderful location!
Only issues are to be expected in an older building such as hearing the footsteps from the room above us.
We loved staying at Lodge Alley Inn! Room was perfect and the location is excellent for enjoying life in Charleston. Great experience and we will definitely stay here again.
We were greeted by Natalie who helped us check in! She was awesome personified! The Lodge grounds were immaculately clean inside and out as was all of Charleston! The line for our rental was an hour plus wait so we took an Uber! We did not need the car! The location allowed us to walk EVERYWHERE!
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
This is a special place. The location is exceptional and proximity to everything Charleston is amazing. The staff is responsive and friendly and every need is met. It is a beautiful place and would highly recommend it.
Even better than the photos! Beautiful furnishings and updated bathroom, overlooking a picturesque patio. The location was in close walking distance to everything. Would definitely stay again
This property was great! Beautiful historic building and a wonderful light filled corner suite. The space was clean and the king bed was super comfortable. Located in the French quarter of Charleston made everything very accessible and easily walkable.... Close to restaurants, rainbow row, the market, the waterfront, etc. Be aware that parking is scarce in Charleston and the fee for non-owner valet parking is 50 daily. I would definitely stay here again.
This property was a perfect location. Would definitely come again. Resort staff was excellent they made our stay even better. Room clean and bed was very comfy.
Wonderful stay at a perfect location. Close to the market and all the museums, dining, piers and more!

The staff were all super friendly and very helpful. We LOVED our room! It had two double beds and a sitting area for us to relax. Highly recommend this hotel!!
We travel at least annually to Charleston, and Lodge Alley is absolutely the best location - easy walking distance to our favorite spots, and the accommodations could not be better! So comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated. We have stayed here multiple times, and will stay again!
Overall, this was a great accommodation! Room was spacious and clean, and nicer than pictures show! Only minor hiccup was an issue with our room key, but the managers helped resolve it! Great location, easy to walk to King St. and waterfront. Highly recommend for a stay in Charleston!
Place was amazing…perfect location to be in Charleston. Parking was only about 30 bucks in the lot across from the hotel. But I definitely would stay here again
