Beautiful room! The courtyard was very pretty as was the lobby. The staff was extremely helpful in finding my daughter a quiet place to wrap a last college exam before our room ready (we arrived early for check in.) looking forward to a future stay.

This hotel is beautiful - from the architecture, lobby, outdoor spaces, to the rooms. Our hotel room was spacious with lovely furnishings. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. I especially loved having the delicious croissants, pastries and coffee delivered to our room each morning and the wine and cheese/crackers happy hour each day. It is also very walkable - to shops, restaurants, bars, the fountain, waterfront. We wandered the streets looking at all the beautiful century homes. Parking is in a garage a short walk behind the hotel. There is an empty lot directly behind the hotel...not sure why the hotel does not use it?. But the garage was fine. We had a wonderful time in Charleston and when we return, we will definitely stay at Kings Courtyard again!

perfect location for Charleston Library society and a long list of excellent small shops right outside the door. Breakfast was simple but good - all I needed. The lack of available water other than from the faucet inside the hotel was a bit of a problem.. a source of bottled water would have been wonderful. Staff all excellent..welcoming and helpful.

The property is a small historic hotel. They still use actual keys for the rooms. No key cards, which you don’t see a lot of these days. It was very quiet and in a safe area. Very walkable to shopping and dining. Breakfast was included and they will bring it up to your room if you want them too. They provide menu cards that you have to fill out and hang on your door before 11 PM every night. Look

We loved our stay at the King's Courtyard Inn. The staff were kind and helpful. Wine and cheese hour, sherry afterwards, and the breakfast were all great little plus ones. Our room was cozy and the whole Inn was really cozy with it's small courtyards and fountains. The locations is fantastic! Step out the front door and you're on King Street. We never drove anywhere and walked to all of our meals. We'll be back!

Well maintained and clean. Friendly and helpful staff! Free breakfast and coffee delivered to our room every morning was such a treat! Great location to everything in the historic district. Our room was decorated so charming and clean but only downside was the mattresses are wearing down a bit and need to be replaced, regardless, we slept well and I would still recommend. Great check in/checkout times as well!
