First off this location is great and has free parking which helps considering how busy the area is. As soon as you walk out the front door you are in the middle of Charleston and the atmosphere is great and rather relaxing. Lots of good restaurants are within walking distance as are the touring companies. The staff was very friendly... More

This was our second stay at the King Charles Inn. We were not disappointed. We were upgraded to a King Deluxe balcony room at no extra charge upon our arrival. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was nicely appointed and comfortable. The balcony overlooked the parking lot, but it was still pleasant to sit in the rocking... More

This hotel is centrally located close to many restaurants, bars and shopping. Rooms are nice and clean with free wifi, small fridge, iron. Service at reception was very friendly. There is a small pool area and a lounge/bar. Good buffet breakfast, not included in price of room but very affordable. More

We stayed at this hotel for four nights in may 2012. Our room was on the 4th floor, very private and no noise from neighbors. Staff was friendly. Our only complaint was the shower--at times water pressure was fine, but then would go so low that the water virtually stopped, only to blast you a minute later. Overall we would... More

My wife and I stayed here for New Year's Day week, and we got a great price on a king room (~$100 per night). In the summertime, I know this is a lot more expensive (~$300 per night), so I was anxious to give this place a shot. I'm glad that we did! The location of the hotel is excellent... More

This is our second stay at this hotel, and we loved it both times. Rooms are clean, well decorated, and this feels like a small, intimate hotel. Lovely lounge area, with bar and managers reception each day, and the pool area is lovely to sit at. This is a well located hotel, within walking distance of all downtown Charleston activities...

We stayed at the King Charles Inn for 3 nights in early May. The staff were very welcoming when we arrived and were always extremely helpful with information about the city, arranging a tour for us at very short notice. Our room was not officially a balcony room but it did have french doors opening on to the large balcony... More

My friend and I stayed one night just to enjoy being in Charleston and relax. We arrived early and the staff was very accommodating. The room was ready...well appointed, very comfortable and extremely quiet. We were both surprised how quiet it was being on a busy street! We enjoyed the Manager's Reception, Happy Hour and sitting by the pool....soooo relaxing!... More

We checked into the Best Western King Charles Inn and were immediately greeted by smiling faces and wonderful staff. The front desk staff was extremely helpful with navigating the city by giving us a map and pointing out places to go. They did not have a room ready when we got there but promptly called us when it was. The... More

We stayed two nights at the King Charles Inn and we had a great time! First of all, it is very conveniently located in the Historic District within walking distance of King Street, the Fort Sumter Ferry, and the Market.
