First off...this hotel is a LOT farther from Historic Charleston than they make it sound. We did not rent a car, as this is the Best Western "Downtown." We arrived early for checkin and the staff was friendly and held our bags for us. But as soon as we asked for walking directions to the shopping areas they looked at... more

My wife and I stayed two nights at this hotel. There were several problems that occured during our stay. None of these issues were major, but they did result in an uncomfortable stay. If one of the issues (air conditioning) had been addressed when we first reported it, our stay would have been more comfortable. Upon checkout, someone at the... more

My wife and I traveled to Charleston this past weekend for a short getaway and had a most refreshing experience while staying at the Best Western hotel. I say refreshing simply because we were greeted by Steven and I believe her name was Tracey with smiles and humor during a very busy time when we first arrived. Everyone we came... more

If you are looking for a five-star hotel, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a good value that is not too far from this historic district, this is the place. As stated in previous reviews the property has recently been renovated. The rooms were clean, but the AC unit was a bit loud. There was cable TV and a... more

*The part that will alarm most travelers is at the billing portion of this review found in the last paragraph. My stay at the Best Western Charleston was not the most relaxing of vacations. My husband and I arrived from a 4 hour drive at around midnight. We were anxious to get to sleep for our 3-day weekend. When we... more

There's not much I can add to the other reviews about this hotel. Just know that it's not exactly walking distance to the historic downtown section of Charleston. Having said that, the hotel was very courteous and arranged for a taxi whenever asked. Fares were about $5 to the center of downtown, which is probably cheaper/easier than driving your own... more

We booked through Priceline and were initally pleased with the location and price. However, when we checked in to our room, we found the tiniest rooms on the 1st floor with a fenced in "patio" - we questioned this until we noticed that the sliding glass doors had obviously been jimmied from the outside several times. We were traveling with... more

I booked this hotel for government business and initially was satisfied with the room. After the second night however, I awoke to several large bed bugs on my pillow. Needless to say, I have over 30 bite marks on my arms and back. This was the first time in my life I encountered these vile creatures! For $10-$20 more you... more

I recently stayed at the Best Western Charleston Downtown while attending a conference at the adjacent Marriott. The rooms were half the price of the Marriott. My roommate and I had a top floor corner room with 2 queen beds. You could step out onto the small balcony; granted, it wasn't big enough for chairs, but nice for a breath... more
