Room was clean and well furnished. The toilet rocked and needed to be fastened to the floor and we had to exchange our key cards many times because they continually did not work. Otherwise, staff was very courteous and we enjoyed our stay.

Awesome location!
The location was the absolute best to visit historical Charleston. Easy to walk to sites, ocean front, shopping, market or churches, or you could grab the free bus through town. Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Room was perfect. Comfy beds, nice touch was fireplace.

Horrible Customer Service
This was my first time using VRBO, and I will NEVER book through this place again. My friend and I booked a place for us to stay in Charleston the week of our school’s spring break. We received FOUR separate confirmation emails confirming our visit. However, 3 days before our trip, we received an email from the management property saying the owner of the property had not been responsive/had removed this listing from the VRBO website. Thus, our reservation was canceled. My friend and I immediately reach out to VRBO and the management personnel of this property to reach a solution. They ended up finding us a place to stay for the last half of our trip, but we were displaced for the first half of the trip and had to make last minute accommodations on our own. Thankfully, they gave us a full refund for the days they could not accommodate us with housing. However, the customer service staff I spoke with on the phone were extremely rude and derogatory. I never raised my voice once on the phone, and the lady who assisted me was very short, snotty, and even hung up on us on the phone. They did not provide us with complimentary parking or any other sorry of benefit for this great inconvenience and hassle, since we ended up so ending more money booking a last minute hotel for the first days of the trip. The front desk staff at the actual property were not friendly or accommodating either upon our arrival. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with my overall experience using this property. I will not recommend this service to my friends and family going forward.

Inaccurate Listing
The booking process was easy and we received communication on our booking almost instantly. The check in communication was poor. We were told to check in under a different name. At the counter, the very nice ladies told me they didn’t have a booking with that name. After some discussion and embarrassment, they found my booking. The room we stayed in is NOT even close to what these pictures showed. The room was closer, beds were smaller, different location. The actual venue and accommodations were wonderful. The location was wonderful. However, I will do my best to not book through this property management agency again.

Perfectly situated in historic Charleston. Steps from the Charleston city market and the waterfront! Parking garage conveniently nearby. Mini fridge, microwave coffee maker and toaster handy for a meal when resting up from exploring. Laundry facilities came in handy to freshen up our clothes. Would definitely stay again!!

Perfect location!!
We were apprehensive in booking this property as it is a timeshare. The room was well stocked with perfectly comfortable beds!! The location could not have been any better!! The room was clean and very comfortable! My only issue was we were told we had to check out after two days and recheck into a new room for the remainder of our trip. We were told to bring our stuff down to hold for our new room. That wasn’t a big deal as we had tour reservations and we made it work. Upon checking out to recheck in, we were then told that “we will try to keep you in the same room and will let you know.” We had to leave anyway due to our tour time, and we found out we were still in the same room. It was an inconvenience because we didn’t have time for breakfast, and we packed up and unpacked again for nothing. This was not at all a big deal because the room and location was absolutely perfect! Communication could have been a bit better, but all in all we were very happy!! Go to Callie’s for breakfast and definitely put FIG on your list for dinner!

BE AWARE
BE AWARE when booking The Lodge Alley Inn through VRBO. Although a great location in Charleston, you need to know it is a timeshare. Over two months in advance, my wife and I paid and received a confirmation (VRBO ID 36206515) for a five-day/four night stay. However, the day before our trip we were informed our confirmation had changed to only three nights. So, I spent that day talking to, being transferred to, or in most cases trying to contact the following parties: 1.) VRBO; received case number 35626260. Recommended we show up and work issue once at the front desk in Charleston (on vacation). 2.) Bluegreen Vacations Customer Service (managing timeshare company); #YNMLM, but no resolution, 3.) Resort Rental Pros (timeshare company); said the property “can’t be rented”. 4.) Lodge Alley Inn Front Desk (also Bluegreen Vacations); “voicemail is full” 5.) Owner; I was not able to contact owner, and he/she made no attempt to contact me. After a full day I was able to contact VRBO Traveler Care. I received a new case number 35627094; but, VRBO did not contact me with an update before we started our trip. The night we checked in the front desk confirmed a three-night stay; and, they were working on our last night. It was day three of our stay when the front desk assigned us a room for our original confirmed last night. The room was an upgrade to a one-bedroom unit with kitchen, from our studio unit. Although we are grateful to the front desk for the room, we couldn’t simply move from one room to another. We had to get up well before our scheduled event to re-pack, then store our luggage at the front desk, then return that afternoon and unpack into our new room for the last night of our vacation. Throughout this process, I initiated every contact with VRBO. Despite case numbers and time to work this issue (two months before we traveled as well as our first three days of vacation) VRBO did very little if anything to resolve this problem. I was hoping to hear from VRBO before I submitted this review. However, almost a month later, I have not heard from any of the five parties listed previously. Finally, we met another couple with a similar problem as we checked out at the front desk. We watched and listened as reservation services and front desk, once again, blamed each other. There are limited options downtown, especially during large events. This should be only a very last resort. Sincerely, Steve

Charleston visit
Location, location, location. Having worked in Charleston some 10 years ago, I had a good idea where to stay. The French Quarter of Charleston puts you in close range to restaurants, historical sites and other interesting places to see without getting in your car. The room was clean, accommodating and quaint. It’s old but the remodel left you feeling you went back in time. And Charleston is the perfect place to dream it.

Caution longer stays
The property was a great location and staff was great. However, we booked four days, we’re told we had four days, but ended up two days in one room and two days in another. Only problematic when check out is 10am and check in is 4pm. Tried contacting someone to address this but was impossible. The hotel staff was very accommodating and locked up our luggage and called us when our second room was ready later in the afternoon.

The final night of our stay was not confirmed properly by Virbo or their partner, so we had to leave early. Not a good first impression of your service.

Fantastic location and a very friendly staff on location. Found some things that made me think it wasn't cleaned well after the last visitor. Bath in dire need of an update, shower head made for someone under 5'10". Ceiling/floor, paper thin which made sleeping at night difficult from the restaurant below and the guests above.

Comfortable retreat in the heart of Charleston
We loved this property and its location. Right in the heart of historic Charleston and walking distance to all the sights (including a grocery store). The wait to check-in was a bit long but the property was clean and the service was wonderful - lots of help with great reservations for attractions and dining! We will definitely stay again.
