Great staff

We had to stay in Charleston because of a medical emergency and the staff were so kind and helpful. We had to extend our stay twice and they allowed us to remain in the same rooms for over 10 days. I will always be grateful for their kindness to us during this horrible time.

Tucked just off Savannah Highway, the hotel is a short 10-15 minute drive to the historic downtown district and the beaches of Folly and Sullivan’s Island. While it’s not in the heart of the old city, the trade-off is worth it. You get free parking, easy access to major routes, and a location that feels safe, quiet, and clean—ideal for families, road trippers, or business travelers looking for a stress-free base. Rooms are modern, fresh, and remarkably well-kept. Housekeeping clearly takes pride in their work—everything from the bedding to the bathroom was spotless. The beds are comfortable, the AC is reliable (a must in a Charleston summer), and there’s plenty of space to stretch out. Even better, many rooms open directly to the outside, which makes unloading your luggage a breeze. The staff, however, is what sets this hotel apart. From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with genuine Southern hospitality. Every request—whether it was a recommendation for nearby restaurants or a late checkout—was handled with a smile and a willingness to help. It’s the kind of service that sticks with you. Breakfast is complimentary and surprisingly satisfying, with hot options like eggs, sausage, and waffles alongside fresh fruit and coffee. The outdoor pool is another welcome perk—clean, quiet, and perfect for cooling off after a day of sightseeing. In short, Best Western Charleston Inn proves that affordable doesn’t have to mean average.
