Best Western King Charles Inn

The renovated King Charles room had first class furnishings, a high-end bathroom and a good downtown location. There are many fine dining establishments within easy walking distance. The value for the price was unbeatable.

This hotel was much nicer than I expected! It is located within walking distance to downtown. Very friendly staff.

From the moment I arrived and the doorman opened the door to greet me till the last moments before departure, my four night stay was perfect. After I was settled in my room, it was "cocktail hour" with cheese and crackers and an open bar in the cozy lounge area. The manager visited each table and asked what guests might need. I needed dinner suggestions for a solo traveler. Maureen mentioned several options but being able to observe the chef at nearby Cru rang my dinner bell. The staff called to get me in and I was off to a wonderful dinner of chef watching and delicious food. I returned to my gracious king deluxe room. Not only was the bed welcomingly comfy with loads of pillows, I had a flat screen TV, refrigerator and microwave. In addition the spacious room had a desk and two side chairs complete with two ottomans and a side table. The elegance continued to the marble and granite bathroom with a spacious counter. All staff were helpful. Cleanliness sparkled throughout all areas. There is a small swimming pool and terrace beside it for lounging, coffee or evening cocktails. A delicious continental or hot breakfast was fairly priced. You could even eat beside the pool if you wanted. Each day I could have it all again! And then there was the location. I could walk to and from my training conference and shop the entire way. From art galleries to the City Market to King Street, no taxi needed. The hotel had parking but I didn't need a car. The price was very good considering all there was to offer. You might save more if you book a hotel at the airport but if you really want to get the feel of Charleston, stay here. By the way, the manager also recommended Fig for dinner. It is a highly rated neighborhood bistro just across the street. Another dining delight. Ask for recommendations when you see the manager at breakfast if you missed her during cocktail hour. Charleston is literally a step away (Ok, maybe a few). The hotel exudes traditional elegance from arrival to departure. How great is that! I am definately going back. I travel a fair amount and this hotel is a real find.

Hard to maneuver if you have any problems with stairs, eg cane or walker.

Location was great - could walk to just about everything or take the trolley with a stop across the street. Did see a few ants in the room, but this is the south. Room was very small with barely enough space to get around the bed, but bed was comfy and extra pillows were provided. Room was quiet and we slept soundly. Some staff members were much more informative and helpful than others. Hotel provides complimentary coffee all the time and has cheese and crackers at the bar at happy hour that you can take out to the pool and enjoy. Overall we were very pleased and would return, but would get a larger room.

We felt like we were in central park.From the molment you arrive you are pampered.The staff is wonderful.The bed is comfortable,nice hot shower,WIFI works great,the furnishings are of high quality.Everything was very clean.The location is amazing.You can walk to everything or take a pedi-cab.We walked during the day and took pedi-cabs at night.When you find a parking place in the parking garage don't move your car.Parking is very limited.

The location, only 2-3 blocks from the market was very convenient. We parked the car and did not move it until we departed. The hotel general manager was helpful with restaurant recommendations. The trolley picked up across the street. The pool was small but an essential part of our trip, although hard to find in downtown Charleston. Minor problem with water pressure one day and air conditioning, although 98 degrees can impact that.

Great hotel, wonderful staff. In the heart of historic downtown Charleston and within walking distance to many venues. We visited Folly beach, very nice, also Shem Creek where the shrimp boats dock. Food was outstanding everything, but would recommend Hyman's

Very very nice. Great staff, great rooms and great location.

We had a chance to visit many different attractions as well as restaurants. Many of the restaurants were recommended by the staff and they were great. The only problem was that it had limited parking. However, once parked we were in the heart of downtown so it was very easy to walk to places of interest.
