    We stayed here during a family trip and had a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, very close to everything, the French Market, in the heart of downtown. Decent rates. The hotel is spread out between two buildings (cute yellow painted ones), a tad strange. I didn't think front desk was super nice, they did their jobs, got us in and out, but where is the Southern Hospitality, no details about Happy Hour, breakfast, etc. I wish they would have a jug of water in reception area (there's coffee, but water would be great!). The rooms are in the building across the street. Our rooms were right next to elevator, we styed here for 1 night, if we would have booked for more time, I would have changed the rooms. It was noisy, it never disappoints, some late night party people got out of the elevator after midnight, tooo loud and woke us up. The rooms are small, no decent views, could be cleaner. But didn't hang out a lot in there. The Happy Hour is a great bonus (starts at 4 or 5 pm?- double check), the lady working here was nice, we got some red wine, water, she had nice platters of cheese, cold cuts, nuts, fruit, crackers and pickles, mostly pickled okra which I love to have since I get this treat only when I visit Charleston. Nice tables, great space and views around the city. Con? We had a lady who showed up to tell us stories about the city. I think it was a bit much. Nice lady, but we just wanted to chill, talk to each other, catch up. When you visit Charleston you get tired of tours, so we didn't need an extra one while trying to relax. Frankly, it made us leave! Breakfast is another plus! Same space upstairs where they have the cocktail hour. It's not your regular American hotel fare which is usually next to nothing at breakfast. You get a huuuge spread, I do recommend the biscuits (nice, hot, local), the quiche-s, the fresh pastries from local bakery, great selection. There's coffee, fresh orange juice, fresh fruit. And lots more- toast, jelly, cereal (but why get that when you have local goodies), etc. Cynthia, the lady who sets it up is helpful, great to refill everything, nice and caring. Very friendly! Mixed experience, if you need a room in downtown and don't stay for long, Andrew Pickney's could be a decent option!

    My husband did a lot of research on our stay. After quite some time, he found a good deal on this hotel. We were not disappointed. The location was perfect for walking to see the sites. We stayed on the 4th floor right down from the solarium. We enjoyed wine and cheese when we checked in. Then breakfast was also in the solarium. Our room and beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again!

    Southern hospitality at its best! This boutique hotel is perfect for those looking for a unique stay without the bland feel of major chains. Andrew Pickney pulls no stops when it comes to being hospitable. They may not have a spa, pool, or gym, but they have a full spread daily hot breakfast and a wine & cheese (plus) daily happy hour all complimentary to your stay. Coming from a place where being friendly or even cordial to strangers is dead, staff was friendly and accommodating. Ms. Barbara hosting the wine & cheese socials was exceptional. Despite being here on business, she made my stay feel like visiting family. The room was exactly what I needed with comfort and luxury. The bot text communications were not intrusive and appreciated. Centrally located to many must-see sites, I was able to walk to so many spots on my hit list and felt safe doing it alone. The Andrew Pickney Inn is one of a kind!

    From check in to check out everything let or exceeded our expectations. I love that they set up a text with their guests for anything at all. Fresh coffee and cookies at check in, excellent complimentary breakfast each morning, a beautiful wine and snacks for afternoon chill time. Who could ask for anything more? I will say that our room didn't have a window which was great for sleeping but we just wanted to sleep all day lol. I think I'd want a window room for my next stay so I don't get to comfy. We even had live music at wine and cheese! Such a beautiful touch. Thank you for the stay. We can't wait to come back.

    If you are looking for a quaint hotel in downtown Charleston that is only blocks from the market, restaurants and shopping, along with beautiful rooms and impeccable service then The Andrew Pinckney Inn is the place for you. When we first pulled up to valet our car, Drew was so friendly, prompt and helpful. They keep your car in a nice secure courtyard. Once inside we were greeted by Brittany and Rebecca with warm smiles and fresh baked cookies and reminded that the hotel offers a complimentary wine and cheese hour in the solarium and beautiful full breakfast each morning. When we stopping in for the wine and cheese reception Barbara was our host and she was awesome! By the way she also had homemade pimento cheese spread as well as many other treats. Another perk that I personally loved with the text concierge, they promptly respond to any questions or needs you might have during your stay. I am well traveled and have spend so many days in hotels that I am lifetime platinum with Marriott and I have to tell you, The Andrew Pinckney Inn is at the top of the list when it comes to customer service and quality. Thank you all for the wonderful experience

    Check in experience was quick and efficient. Hotel has charm and is very close to everything you want to walk to. The morning breakfast was epic!! Such a cute spot to start your day. Room is very comfortable and the text options for assistance is a nice touch. Definitely a wonderful spot for walking the downtown area. I did not have a car and this was the perfect location.

    We love staying at the API, and our trip this week was simply delightful. From check in/valet parking, every need was met. Our room was immaculate, and we noticed that recent painting had been done. So crisp! The inn is in the perfect location. Loved the Happy Hour and breakfast choices. We will be back.

    I will forever pick the Andrew Pinckney Inn to stay in whenever I am in Charleston. The location, staff, and amenities are above and beyond and I cannot rave about them more. So first off, their location is prime time. You are walking distance from everything, and the nice thing is they have a valet parking so you do not have to stress about finding a parking deck, street parking, etc when you arrive. The parking is also right next to the hotel, so getting your car to depart is also hassle free. When you check in, they have two buildings, that both have rooms. We got had a room across from where you check in, in the other building, which honestly was perfect because they do the breakfast and the wine hour in that building. The room itself was a good size, we had two queen beds, a nice bathroom and mirror outside the bathroom/shower which, for two girls sharing a room is fantastic. There is not much of a view, but that is really not a selling point for me regardless. The breakfast was fantastic and came from a local bakery. Everything was so good and fresh. Not to mention, they even had fresh quiches, and omelets on site, along with the normal fruit, yogurt, cereals. But once of the best parts was the wine "hour". I say hour because really it went for an hour and a half and started at 4:00pm. They had various wines, that they kept on pouring, and had little cheese and meat plates they handed out. It was so much fun, we absolutely loved the lady working the wine nights and had such a wonderful girls trip.

    We had a wonderful stay at the Andrew Pinckney Hotel! The rooms were spacious, newly renovated and decorated with a classy upscale look. The wine & cheese happy hour was delightful in the solarium over looking Charleston, with Harritte serving, and generously pouring the wine. We mingled with quite a nice assortment of guests from all over the world! Complementary breakfast was FANTASTIC, with (the very much appreciated) Gluten Free homemade muffins and assorted pastries. Even French toast, potato casserole and an egg soufflé! The assistant manager Gabrielle was very attentive and friendly, as well as Rebecca at the front desk, who helped us navigate the city of Charleston. For two senior married ladies, out on the town for the night, the streets felt very safe for strolling after dinner. We were comfortable walking the short distance to all the most popular attractions around our hotel, located in the heart of historic Charleston. The Andrew Pinckney Hotel is definitely on the agenda for my next stay in Charleston!

    Refreshments available in the lobby of the inn.

Parking was a little heavy $45 bucks. Garage is not far if you want options. Snacks and breakfast offered. Now I didn't have any snacks that were divine because they are healthy and last time I checked, I really don't need snacks. But they are available. Complimentary cocktail for happy hour, roof top patio, gym. It was very quiet to be packed on a holiday weekend. Glad I came here to stay.

The nice amenities, decent gym and friendly staff are what creates the environment for a pleasant experience. Two of these were met and the friendly staff, was mostly there. . .but one sour apple truly changed the course of our stay. Even my wife, who worked once upon a time in hospitality at Kiawah Resort, was started by the interactions from The Loutrel Hotel staff member. Long story short. The daily complimentary breakfast was served. I accidentally went to place the granola lid on the yogurt, my wife told me that was the wrong lid and I went to correct. From across the room the breakfast attendant yelled, "sir that doesn't go there." Startled, I immediately removed it and placed it accordingly. I laughed it off. Moments later I went to sit my breakfast down where my drink was located. Same attendant, "you're not even sitting at the right table with your wife." Again, my error, but don't call me out twice in one morning. It's a small lobby, so many staff members overheard the interaction. Nothing was done by other management. The next morning, I walked down to look at breakfast. I saw the same attendant and said, good morning. She looked at me but wasn't pleasant in her response. Unlike the rest of her colleagues at the restaurant who are polite and kind, the same customer service I expect and provide to my customers. Breakfast offered salmon with some type of eggs or shellfish. I can't eat shellfish, allergic. So, I went to grab a biscuit at a local coffee shop and a coffee. We came back to the hotel and sat our food down. The same rude attendant came over, nudged my wife in her back and said, "you can't have this here, cross contamination." So, I left. Allowed my wife to eat her yogurt in the area. Funny enough, my wife asked where the utensils were, because every table had them. Same attendant rudely, pointed to another table for her to get them. I should have just sat down and ate my food as I didn't see any signs for "no outside food." Either way, stay somewhere else. It's unfortunate that a hotel like this allows such rudeness from a staff member. I did report this to the manager, and online but was met with more passivity. Comped two nights of valet. Honestly, it wasn't enough. I would never stay here again and it ended the trip on such a sour note.

I had no idea what to expect of the rooms. Honestly, we booked this place last minute so I briefly reviewed the pictures and reviews but was just ready to get away. BUT when we got to the room, after self parking at the public garage behind the hotel, we opened the door to the cutest little room. It was sized as if it was in New York City but had cute boho chic charm. It's perfectly located in the middle of everything and the walkability was what we enjoyed most. We walked to all of the best restaurants and shops once we parked, we only left the a garage once the entire time there. We loved the daily breakfast and were intentional about making it downstairs for it. The grits were absolutely delicious. Perfectly cooked and once topped with the shredded cheese and fresh cracked pepper, I couldn't get enough! The pastries and biscuits were also very good. The biscuits and pastries tasted like someone's grandma made them. I know this review is long, so I'll stop now even though I could say so much more. We'll definitely return because I failed to try their espresso martini and they boast to have the best. Note: There's a valet option but the self parking seemed easier. If you've ever stayed here, I'd love to hear about your experience.

While one of them stepped away to grab the tools they needed, the other stayed with me and struck up a real conversation, even sharing recommendations for places to visit around Charleston. It never felt forced or like they were just trying to pass the time it felt like genuine hospitality. I've stayed at many hotels over the years, and it's rare to find a place where the staff goes above and beyond the way they do here. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the food is just as amazing as the service. If you're looking for a hotel in the Charleston area, I can't recommend this place enough. All the major attractions are in walking distance which made our trip even more enjoyable, and we will absolutely be staying here again.

Access to shops and restaurants inside the hotel also felt like a miniature Vegas. We booked the club level which gave us access to butlers, and a private cocktail and restaurant lounge. Teresa and Augustine did an excellent job, as did Mitzy. We had others who were also great and I just can't remember the spelling of their names. They had a daily breakfast buffet, lunch buffet, afternoon charcuterie, appetizers, dinner buffet, and a dessert buffet on the 8th floor lounge. They also made cocktails and served wine. It was outstanding and we were so spoiled. Room hospitality was also amazing. They come in the morning to tidy up and replace towels, and at night to do turn down service. They put slippers by your bed and even give you nice cloths to wipe your eyeglasses. They even gave me a bookmark for my book! And they fold anything that you leave on the floor. To top it off, they have a bar cart that starts at around 4:30 each day to offer you a cocktail! We had an excellent Negroni and a daiquiri. I have never experienced such a cool hotel and I hope they continue this level of service. Shower was nice and so was the bedding, mattress, and pillows. A suggestion would be to have hand gel instead of a hand soap bar in the rooms. Nice coffee machine in the room, as well as robes. Beautiful sunset from our balcony was outstanding to see. They have an excellent pool and hot tub that has just been redone. Gym was okay and they had enough equipment for a decent workout. A squat rack and pull up rack would be great additions. We will stay here again!
