• Excellent location.
• It was under renovation when I stayed there and the ceiling in the lobby had exposed pipes/wiring.

“This is an older hotel with an excellent location and free parking. I liked the staff. It is currently under renovation (November 2006) and should be better when that is completed. When I visited, it was a bit weird due to exposed pipes and construction in the hallway ceilings.”

• The location was very good for going to the historic area.
• it rained very hard and the hotel parking area and some of the hotel area flooded.

“All in all it worked for us and they told us they are going to be doing a million dollar renovation very soon. That would be a big help since there were not refrigerators in all the rooms, and they needed a few other items fixed. But that will all come together when they do their renovation, they said.”

“Located conveniently to all the attractions of downtown Charleston, this stately hotel offers charm and efficiency. It is great to be within walking distance to shops & pubs. Parking was ample and the staff was very helpful!”

• Location and cleanliness were wonderful. The staff went out of their way to promptly meet our special requests.
• Our room was pretty small and only had one double bed.

“I had a very pleasant stay and really enjoyed being in the middle of the historic district, the market and restaurants. We didn't use our car at all. The pool, coffee service, staff and cleanliness were favorites. I believe they had bigger rooms and beds but they put us in a pretty small one. It was cozy and clean but a little cramped with a 3-year old under foot.”

• Nice pool and manager's reception!
• Initially, had me booked with only 1 king bed and I required 2 beds.

“Nice location and overall accommodations! Excellent workout facility at Ecco-Fitness around the corner from the hotel. Free parking. Initially, had me booked with only 1 king bed when I called in advance to confirm. I stated that I required 2 beds. Phone receptionist tried to charge me $10 additional for second bed. When I asked to speak to the manager she finally changed me to a NS room with 2 beds without an additional charge. Minor hassle, but they eventually got it correct.”

• Well located, fairly priced.
• Ambiance lacking.

“A clean, moderately priced hotel located in an excellent location in historic Downtown Charleston. Decor a bit dark for my task, but overall its traditional and well-maintained. Staff is friendly. A small, but inviting bar is in the lobby. Includes parking w/ accommodations very key in Charleston. W/in easy walking distance of the many historic sites.”

• Super location.
• Noisy and bathrooms are ageing.

“Friendly and excellent location. I think they need a little updating in the halls (carpet and paint) and the bath area's wallpaper tearing and dirty and the tubs needed replacing. Lobby and public areas were great.”

• Good location - downtown.
• Typical Best Western.

“This hotel was in a great location, but that is where much of the positives end. The staff was semi-friendly and the rooms were alright. They were nothing special and the shower and bathroom needed remodeled because caulk was coming out of the shower all over. Also, the wall was in need of new wallpaper or paint”

• The price was right.
• Took a long time to get to my room from the elevate 3 hallways.

“The hotel was very darkly lit, old looking inside, left my pillow there and took 5 people to finally get it before I left town, couldn't find a place to park that night as all the places were filled.”

• Excellent service.
• Parking conditions a little unsafe and sparse.

“This hotel, though aging, remains excellent in its service quality and has taken steps to renovate and modernize. The staff was friendly and helpful. This level of service is not always. I would recommend the King Charles Inn to any who want to stay in Downtown Charleston for an affordable price.”

• within walking distance of Market street and restuarants on King St.
• the only elevator acess to our floor was via a corner elevator in the garage

“rooms very small; free parking adjacent to hotel was very limited (during my 3 night stay I never got a spot and had to park acroos the street(for free)and walk acrooss the street back in through the garage to get the only elevator that went up to my floor; the pool although it faced the streetwas very nice- the spray fountain masked the sounds of traffic;do not book this hotel if stairs are an issue for you-to get any where you needed to go up or down a few steps!”

• Excellent location, congenial staff, very clean, great parking.
• We got only one double bed, which was too small...I tried to get us two doubles, a king or a queen, but none was available. Also toilet ran.

“Lovely decor, excellent location, clean, well-appointed rooms, polite and accommodating staff. Convenient off-street parking. Will definitely stay there again!”
