"Location and service"
In the heart of everything this hotel prides itself on service. Do not miss the wine and cheese daily at 4 or the cookies at 9. Breakfast ,which is included, is also very good and made to order.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A Charleston Must!"
The Vendue Inn is quintessential southern hospitality. Pleasant staff, delicious food, quaint traditions (cookies&milk every night before you go to bed!) and of course, amazing location in historic downtown Charleston. My boyfriend and I were treated like a king and queen and every member of the staff had a great recommendation for us while on our trip. […] This made our visit super easy. The room was spacious, clean and looked out onto the street (Vendue Range). Although we didn't use them during our visit, the hotel offers bicycles for rent and Charleston is a very bike friendly town! I like the personal touches -- wine @ 4 pm, cookies and milk in the evening -- but the nicest thing about the Vendue Inn was that every staff member knew our names and greeted us whenever we saw them. Really, I can't say enough nice things about the place! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Extraordinary experience"
We have traveled extensively in the US and Europe and our stay at the Vendue was superlative in every way. The room was beautifully appointed with a 4 poster bed, luxurious linens, beautiful curtains, etc. The only downside was that there was only one easy chair in the room. Breakfast came with the room rate and was superior. It was served in the dining […] room with one of the most gracious waitresses we have encountered on our travels. The "free" breakfast included yogurt with fruit and granola, a pastry, fruit, juice, coffee or tea. The tea was made in a pot - for someone who likes well brewed tea a lovely surprise. You could order from the menu for very reasonable upcharge. I added a poached egg and was only charged about $1.50. The service was consistently cheerful, polite, and gracious. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Also - it was in the historic district just a few blocks from the historic market and excellent restaurants.

"Nice Inn but a little tired"
The service was excellent here--staff was fabulous. We like the location, however we were only there for 2 nights, so it worked for all the places we were going. Everything was clean, but seems like bathrooms and furniture could use a little updating without losing the charm. Overall happy with the stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Reservation problem"
The reservation was handled poorly. We reserved two rooms, preferably together, several weeks in advance. When we arrived, the rooms were in separate buildings. In one of the rooms, the TV did not work at all. The desk clerk claimed that they were 100% full and could not move us. They provided a complementary drink that night, but most of our party […] doesn't drink. We would probably pass on this one next time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Beautiful, comfortable, in the historical centre."
Staff was amazing, complimentary afternoon wine and cheese and late milk and cookies offered everyday. Ideal location and great rooms. We got a complimentary upgrade due to low season, definitely stay here if you're coming to Charleston!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Treated Like Royalty!"
Fantastic 3 day stay with my wife. Felt like we were staying at a private residence. Staff very well educated and informative. From check in, parking valet, room service and even the cleaning staff, everyone was so professional and friendly. They knew of all the popular places and even suggested other great restaurants and sites to see. No problem paying […] the $18 per day for valet parking. My car was always available on a moments notice. Many of my friends have also stayed here as well. Loved the rooftop bar restaurant. Great place to see the downtown Charleston neighborhood. Will stay here again. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Location is just where you want to be."
The ambience is superb and the staff helpful, friendly and courteous. There were renovations going on so it was noisy during the day, but otherwise just about perfect. It had the feel of an elaborate bed and breakfast.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
We really enjoyed our stay. Would have liked a room with a window, but it was comfortable, clean with a sense of old Charleston..Genuine Hotels.com guest review
we had a great time!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
The Vendue Inn was probably the best hotel that my wife and I have stayed The service from check-in to house keeping was outstanding. Our room was amazing with fireplace, whirlpool tub and a complementary decanter of sherry. The bed was turned down each night. Staff was exceptional, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was a real breakfast not continental. […] The inn was convenient to restaurants, bars, stores and right in the middle of historic downtown. We can't wait to come back.

"Private, but close to everything"
The Vendue Inn is located near the waterfront park, and is close to the Charleston Marketplace and many fine restaurants. The staff were very friendly and professional. A large city parking deck on the next block with a walkway in between made getting to the car easy. The buildings that make up the inn are, for the most part, restored and updated from […] their previous state. The inn was found to be cozy and private, very nice for a weekend getaway.

"Great location, odd rooms"
Hotel has rooms in several buildings on the same block as hotel. Most of the rooms in the building across the street have no windows. I was in a large room with no windows and a gas fireplace. Would recommend you ask for main building. Service was great and rooms were very clean.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Response by Vendue Inn We appreciate you sharing your experience at the inn. A brief history of our property, we have eight historic buildings, six on the south-side and two on the north side of Vendue Range. Our 24 Vendue address includes 7 interior rooms, four with skylights. Interior windowless rooms are not uncommon in the historic district and may be the best selection for a savvy traveler exploring Charleston. Guests still enjoy the many amenities including a plated breakfast, complimentary beach cruisers, afternoon managers reception with wine and hors d’oeuvres, evening milk and cookies and turndown. Overall, we are pleased you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.
"Great historic hotel"
Great hotel in the middle of the historic district of Charleston. Attentive staff made the stay exceptional. Wine, cheese, cookies, milk and a great breakfast coupled with individually decorated rooms can't be beat.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Great Hotel and Friendly Staff"
The staff were excellant, We arrived from out of town early and they were immediately accomidating, with early check in and parking of our vehicle so that we could start exploring the town. They provided insightful suggestions as to what local attractions we might enjoy and were always available and friendly. The room was clean and ready, and after […] returning later in the evening the staff had turned down the bed ond provided a daily update of events for our area. We enjoyed the the place so much we extended our stay an additional night! I would reccommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Charlston area. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Historic with an amazing staff"
Great location. An amazingly sharp staff. Great food and festivities in the afternoon and evening. Cool rooftop bar with live music. BUT the AC in our room didn't work so they very accommodatingly moved us into an available room (though small with no windows). The buildings are old and historic and quaint and have those kinds of drawbacks, but the Vendue […] really stepped up and took care of us. Probably the best service wev'e had anywhere, and the buildings are old. We'll definitely go back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Impeccable service in a perfectly located setting"
The staff is extremely helpful in this quaint, well-located inn. We were upgraded to a fireplace room, which we enjoyed very much. From the wine and cheese in the afternoon, the cookies and milk at night, and the breakfast in the morning, you feel welcome (and fed) at every turn. The only caveat I could suggest is that if you have trouble with stairs, […] this may not be the inn for you. Although there is an elevator, there are multiple places where there are short flights to get from one part of the inn to another. My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much.

"FEELS REAL- NOT HOITY TOITY!"
WHAT MAKES THIS PLACE SO GREAT IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE. vERY PROFESSIONAL AND HELPFUL. IF NOT FOR THAT IT WOULD BE JUST ANOTHER COOL OLD HOTEL- KINDA FUNKY. ALL THE STAFF THAT WE RAN ACROSS WERE EXTRA POLITE (IN A SINCERE WAY). I LOVED USING THE BIKES TO GET AROUND THE CITY.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Will stay again"
Great staff, nice place, PERFECT location. Love the roof top bar and will stay againGenuine Expedia guest review
I stayed here for my honeymoon. Our room was across the street from the main inn which was weird and looked nothing like the picture on the website. The entrance needed a key which was also odd considering the main entrance had a doorman- it made me feel secondary and unimportant. Our room was ok- poorly painted with a small tv and no mini-fridge. […] We had to pay $18/day to park our car which I was not aware of at the time of booking. This was frustrating. We tried room service and it was ok at best. The food in Charleston is amazing so we expected more. The concierge seemed uninterested in helping us with tourist info and the lobby was lacking. Overall I'd give this a 2.5/5. It was not worth the money at all- the only saving grace was the location. I was looking for luxury for my honeymoon but found mediocrity :( Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"close to good stuff"
The hotel was as comfy as we had hoped. The staff was, without exception, professional and welcoming. We enjoyed a first class dinner in The Library and a delicious breakfast the following morning. The (really) hot water was most welcome. Minor nit-picks: there was a (dead) roach in one corner of the room, though overall cleanliness was first class. […] (Queen) beds should be 6 inches longer (IMHO), but my wife was delighted by the comfy bed. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Charming Historic Boutique Hotel"
The Vendue Inn is a historic, charming boutique hotel in the historic district of Charleston. It is walking distance to the market place and the Battery, plus there is a free trolley a short distance away that stops at points of interest. The staff couldn't be more gracious and welcoming and eager to serve your every need. The extra amenities such as […] the fruit and cheese spread at Happy Hour, milk and warm cookies at bedtime, and a wonderful "continental" breakfast that includes fruit, a croissant, plus yogurt with fruit and granola are all complimentary. I would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Charleston for a taste of luxury in a historic setting. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Lovely old historic hotel, great location."
We loved the location, the staff, and the fact that the hotel was very much a part of Charleston's early history. Nicely appointed, clean, and very comfortable bed. The 4 o'clock wine and snack offering was a nice touch and the roof top bar and restaurant offered a different view of the city.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Loved our stay!"
Perfect location - close to everything. Room was huge as well as the bathroom. We stayed in a jr suite and the brick on the walls was a great touch. Service was great- food delicious -we would definitely recommend this for a romantic getaway and are already planning our next trip back!!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location, friendly staff!"
We had be the best experience at the Vendue! I have gone to Charleston for years with my family, but this was my first time staying at the Vendue and I never want to stay anywhere else!

"Great Romantic Getaway"
Our stay was fantastic. We also enjoyed The Library.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Disappointed"
Room is cramped with oversized furniture, bathroom vanity is way too low and toilet too small. My wife and I were attacked by bed bugs every night. The staff is overly polite yet incompetent. The walls are so thin that you can hear the activity in every room and the hallways. The rattling of the heat pump was annoying. The location is perfect for tourism […] though, but take a sleeping pill or get hammered before bed. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Excellent hotel, wonderful staff and great room"
The Vendue Inn was the best place we stayed in during our 2 week road trip through the South. Everything was perfect, including the staff, the fantastic room and the overall service. The cookies and free bike rentals were iceing on the cake. highly recommended!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Not enough parking when checking in. Floors in our room were wood and not properly cleaned. Chairs in our room were uncomfortable. For the price we were expecting more.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel needs some maintenance"
Very comfortable bed. Small room. Clean, but required updating. There were parts of the bathroom that needed updating. The general room was okay, but also needed some sprucing up. The hotel was in a good location, had some good perks, but overall, not sure if I would stay there again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Tour room before accepting!"
The Hotel was clean and in order. Our bed was horrible! The head of the bed was much lower than the foot of the bed. We actually moved the pillows to the foot of the bed so we could sleep. We booked a queen bed and received a full size bed instead. The hard wood of the floors in our room was speckled with spatters of paint from the last painting of […] the room. The smell from outside our room was unbelievable! It smelled like sewage. Honestly we could not leave soon enough. We were up and out of there by 7:30 am. Please get tour of room before agreeing to accept. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
