My friends and I coordinate something we like to call "Diva Weekends". This is our favorite hotel by far and it never disappoints. The managers and staff are always upbeat and sporting great big smiles. Everyone is so helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make you feel welcome. We love to sit out by the pool and... More

We chose the King Charles Inn because of location and price. It was more reasonable than most hotels in the historic district and was within walking distance of everything. Our room was very pleasant and well decorated. But it was in such a location that we never saw the rest of the hotel, but accessed it from the parking lot. More

The staff is wonderful very helpful...room was very clean but also very tiny. Great location in downtown easy to walk any where. Some down sides for the amount you pay no breakfast (pay only), no microwave, no DVD player. and the doors to the rooms slam at all hours of the night and day so not a quiet place to... More

My husband and I stayed here during our stay in January. The room was clean and very quiet. The location is perfect, within walking distance to everything. The staff was great with directions and places to eat and see. Would definitely stay there again. More

We arrived after midnight and found there to be no parking left, but the hotel clerk gave us a sign to hang from our rear view mirrow and had us park at parking garage a block away at no charge. The room was cute and in the theme of Charleston, very clean and the bathroom had granite counter tops and... More

We expected something of a higher grade with such a regal name, but it was a typical Best Western - clean and nice enough, but not special. The staff was friendly and the location was great, but it lacked the charm of the Mills House. More

This is our third time in a year. We loved it. The room we had was a balcony room and was spacious. Our bed seemed pretty new and slept well. The parking is free. That saves around $15 or so per night. Its very convnient. We would recommend it. The staff was friendly. More

When we arrived for a weekend trip, we were pleased with the location of the hotel and what appeared to be a nice room. The check-in staff were friendly and accommodating. I woke up after the first night feeling itchy. My husband read that a sign of bed bugs is tiny blood spots on the sheets, so he inspected the... More

I am very disappointed to read this review and have personally contacted the guest to discuss the customer service concern. As far as the claim about the bugs, immediately upon being notified we contacted a third party pest control company and no evidence was discovered. The King Charles Inn has a preventative maintenance plan in place at all times and... More
