“Great value in the heart of Charleston”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013 via mobile

Could not agree more with the positive comments of the most recent travelers. Stayed last weekend and found an excellent room, wonderful service, and location, location, location. All at reasonable rates and with free parking. My new "go to" hotel anytime I am in Charleston.

“Great Service and Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 18, 2013

The KIng Charles Inn is located on Meeting street and close to everything. I was please to have on-site parking which is rare in the city. This was my first visit to the Hotel and I was greeted outside by the bell staff prior to check-in and he passed my name to the the registration desk prior to me even getting out of the car. THe staff was exceptional. The rooms were very comfortable and my stay was perfect.

Room Tip: Rooms are available with balconies I believe.

“Best 3 star”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013 via mobile

My husband and I spent 3 nights here and were very pleased with the rooms, bathroom and the excellent staff. For a 3 star, this was a real bargain. Parking was free, which was a definite plus. Very convenient for walking around the downtown area and within easy walking distance of many restaurants. There was a manager,s reception every evening, although we did not take advantage of it. The reststaurant was being renovated.

“Before Christmas get-away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 15, 2013

Our stay was great. It was a chance to get away from all the hustle of Christmas. The rates were very attractive and the service was excellent. They are doing some renovationing, but it did not interfer with our stay.We love Charleston and we always enjoy staying at the King Charles.
