If you come to Charleston for historic charm this hotel is faux southern colonial with typical hotel charm. It has been remodeled and is clean with a very helpful staff. Would liked if they had included breakfast even a simple continental. Parking is a real plus and location is perfect for touring and food. Right across from FIG if you... More

Great location for playing tourist in historical Charleston, everything you'll want to see is within walking distance. The room was on the small side but very clean. Reasonable rates, especially for a last minute booking. Friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend to a friend.

The location of the King Charles Inn in the historical district of Charleston was excellent for our visit. We were in walking distance of Market Street for the open-air market, just one block over from King Street with upscale shops, and good eating places all around. The Inn has a great staff. When we arrived, Michael checked us in and... More

This is a great hotel in a great location. I visited Charleston with my best friend for four days. We were both astounded at the going room rates for hotels in this city and shocked that we were booking a Best Western for such high rates, but they were well worth it. Honestly, I feel like maybe they should downplay... More

Being located in the heart of the historic district certainly makes your stay more enjoyable Just knowing you can park for free (and save up to $30 per night) is such a great perk! Thank you for your kind words and thank you for your business! More

Wonderful experience! Was the first road trip for my girlfriend. This hotel has prime location, free parking, friendly staff and wonderfully beautiful and clean rooms. I'd definitely recommend this hotel to anyone; walking distance to everything my car never moved. Hotel was quite and recent renovations were done with care. I felt like I was staying in a classic local... More

I checked tripadvisor for a hotel in the Charleston historic district. There were many good reviews about Best Western King Charles Inn. My husband and I stayed two nights at this hotel. We were quite disappointed. The nice updated bathroom was too large compared to the room. The hotel is weird; the entrance to the elevators were outside the building.... More

Thank you for your honest feedback. I am sorry you had a hard time navigating the hotel. The hotel was built in 1959 and the layout may be a bit confusing to some but we think this adds character! All the rooms are recently renovated as well as our new Lobby and Restaurant. I do hope however, you did enjoy... More

We were very pleased with this hotel, our room was impeccable, it is walking distance to the market and pretty much in the middle of everything... the only thing we didn't have it was a restaurant in site, I believe they were remodeling or something but service was fantastic, they did give us a discount in a nearby breakfast place...
