Timeshare

When we rented from VRBO, we did not expect to be “roped” into a timeshare property visit. Upon arriving, the staff was pleasant and informed us that there was a “welcome gift” in the sitting room. We were greeted by an intro to the property and then by a presentation signup. Had we signed up for a trip through Cabella or Bass Pro, I get the requirement for attending their presentation. But we booked through VRBO and there was no mention of it being part of a timeshare. While a great location, it was not clearly marketed on the VRBO site as a timeshare property. This, my listing accuracy rating. The presenting staff was very good about not trying to sell us after we explained we did not expect to have to attend a presentation. Unfortunately, it did not leave a good impression and I would not rent again from this property. VRBO should not allow these properties on their site.

Downtown Location

Perfect location! It was nice to be able to valet the car at the Inn and walk around. The hotel is a very short walk to The market, Rainbow Row and Pineapple Fountain. The Lodge Alley is over 200 years old so be mindful of that when booking. If you want a historic place to stay with prime location this is it!

Great location

Overall, very pleased. But upon check-in I was told that after 2 nights I would have to switch rooms. I booked more than 3 months in advance with no alteration to my booking. After repeating my displeasure with this inconvenience, they finally fixed it so I did not have to change rooms. The location couldn't have been more perfect! You could hear the street noise (didn't bother me), so if you go to bed early and have a room that faces the street, you might be bothered.

Lodge Alley Inn

Best location in Charleston and very appropriate as the Inn is an old historic building. Not the best communication with the property manager Resort Rental Pros, but the staff at Lodge Alley Inn are so nice and helpful. They take good care of you. Just be sure to book well in advance! It’s our third time and we’ll definitely be back!

My wife and I loved our stay there. The place is perfectly situated within historic Charleston. Everything is within walking distance. The room was incredibly spacious, and we loved the balcony overlooking the fountain and trees below. Also the inside of the room was cozy and comfortable. Would definitely stay there again.

Lodge Alley Inn Charleston

Great location on Bay St. in our favorite part of the city. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the whole place is very clean and quiet. Many of the well known restaurants and the city market are within a couple blocks. We reserved one of the studio rooms which was plenty of room. I am not happy with the owner as they use a property management company called Resort Rental Pros. All communication is via email or text and they only give you partial information up front and right before you’re check in date. The front desk showed we had 2 reservations for the same week. Thankfully they were able to straighten it out. There is wording on the VRBO listing saying “we use photos from several units and you won’t know which one you’re getting until the day you arrive”. Not a good way to do business. I’ll just call The Lodge Alley Inn next time.
