The Ansonborough earns consistently strong sentiment for its prime Charleston location, beautifully designed rooms, and genuinely helpful staff, with the rooftop and historic atmosphere adding to its charm. The most recurring gripe across reviews is the breakfast, which guests widely feel falls short of the hotel's overall quality, and noise insulation is a real concern for lighter sleepers in certain rooms. Parking and pet fees push up the total cost noticeably, making value-for-money a mild but recurring concern despite the high overall satisfaction.
- Breakfast too limited in variety, quantity, and quality relative to hotel standard
- Noise issues — thin walls, street-facing rooms, or proximity to high-traffic hotel areas disturbing sleep
- Parking fees ($35/night) seen as excessive, especially combined with pet fees
- Occasional maintenance/housekeeping issues — non-functioning lifts, stained sheets, faulty coffee maker
- Sewer smell and cigarette smoke odour reported on certain floors
“Location was excellent. Staff was super nice, helpful and attentive. They made stay in Charleston amazing. Rooms with amazing design and ergonomics, superclean.”
“Breakfast was very limited in quantity and variety.”
“It was as if they were in the room with us. Appears to be a sound insulation issue where sound had easy access into our room through a vent or gap in wall/ceiling.”
“I will go again, but will grimace at the price. Too pricey! Room charge is too high, then charge for our pet and parking.”
“What a charming hotel! Rooms, spaciousness, staff, common areas (including rooftop), vibe were all fantastic.”
