I was skeptical about this hotel from some of its older reviews, but I can confidently say this is the best Best Western I've ever seen! They've clearly stepped up their game. From the time I booked my reservation with Lilly, I was really blown away by the service at this hotel. Every staff member was practically a trained concierge... more

Beautiful room, great location, exquisite public spaces. Our room was sparkling clean and lovely; everything worked, nothing was wanted. Kudos to the concierge and staff too! Cindy, the breakfast hostess, was hospitality itself, going far beyond her duties to help and advise us. We recommend the King Charles highly, and will certainly be back. more

I stayed at the King Charles for two nights while on vacation in Charleston, and would highly recommend this hotel. It is perfectly located in downtown historic Charleston- easy walk to historic home tours, the waterfront, and great restaurants. The room was newly remodeled with lovely furnishings and linens. The hotel has a wonderful staff, who gave great advice on... more

Clean, good size room with very comfortable bed. Our window opened onto someone else's balcony (That balcony overlooked the parking area.) Free parking is a big plus, but breakfast is not included, so it's sort of a wash. The location is excellent. more

This hotel is in a prime location in downtown Charleston. We were able to park our car and walk everywhere that we wanted to go. While we were there it was undergoing some renovation but even that didn't bother us. The people that worked there were extremely nice and accommodating. They did everything they could to make our stay comfortable... more

This is in the heart of it all – Kings Street shopping, all the good restaurants/bars, the market, carriage tours, the Battery – you can walk everywhere!

My boyfriend and I drove into the parking lot and were greated with enthusiasm by the staff. A hotel team member walked up to the car as we rolled down the window, and with a very professional manner had us parked and in our room within 15 min. I love service! This place is top notch in that and many... more
