This was our second stay and it continues to be a great inn. Rooms are well appointed and the staff is friendly and helpful. Parking is included and restaurants and attractions are within walking distance. Looking forward to returning. More

I have to start by saying that the location of this hotel was great. I was a short walk to great dining and tourist locations. The bed was comfy and the room was clean. The main downside to this hotel was that the view from our bedroom window was looking directly into the neighboring room balcony and parking garage. I... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel! I am glad you enjoyed everything but the view! Unfortunately, being built in 1959 there were some oddities but who is sitting in the room during their stay--I hope you enjoyed your trip to the Holy City! More

Stayed in Charleston 3 nights, loved this location walking distance to everything and right on the (free) trolley route. The staff was very helpful in every way from keeping us comfortable to recommending good restaurants to fun sites to see. Free parking was appreciated. For the price I felt this was great stay. More

This hotel is located in the historic area of Charleston. The location is good for tour. Parking is free! My overall impression was not good because of loud next room guests until 5 am. More

I would like to offer you a discount on a future visit when you return to Charleston. Please email me direct at gm@kingcharlesinn.com when... More

This was a great place to stay for the location and that was really about it. They try to make it look nice with flowers, but that does not cover up all the things wrong with this hotel. The parking was minimal at best..... Very small and hard to turn around in, if you have a larger car or truck... More

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. I am sorry you were not pleased with the newly renovated rooms, the complimentary parking nor the breakfast. At the time of this review, the outdoor pool was closed for resurfacing to be ready for the upcoming summer season. I apologize if it did not look good at the time.... More

I chose this hotel because it was fairly priced and a great location. It exceeded my expectations. Parking was easy to manage, layout easy to get in and out. Staff was friendly, but I didn't need them for much. There is a charge for breakfast but it is just a convenience and a fair price. There are wonderful food choices... More

The hotel is in an ideal location to explore all of historic downtown Charleston. Parking is complimentary and we didn't need the car at all. We could walk all the way to the Battery (at the river) in about an hour and easily see the whole town on foot. The room itself was nicely decorated, although a little bit cramped... More

We've stayed here a couple of times now and every time is very nice and comfortable. Room was clean and spacious with luxury linens. Tastefully decorated with updated bathroom in our king room. Also had french doors to a shared verandah on the 3rd floor. Parking is on site and free. Walking distance to CofC, most of downtown and market.... More

We had an enjoyable and relaxing long weekend at the King Charles Inn. We stayed in a junior suite which was very nice with a couch and two armchairs which made it easy to relax after seeing the sights in Charleston. The only issue(a minor one) was that the shower liner wasn't long enough and then had to use the... More

Excellent location to everything downtown. Really clean, nice, hotel, and a great price. But....the staff are the most amazing, helpful, and friendiest I have seen. I have stayed at many 4 and 5 star resorts and wasn't treated as well as here. No pun intended, but I felt like a King at the King Charles. More
