“Great Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for the first time and my husband and I were very much pleased! I would certainly stay again. Right in the historic district and close to everything! Rooms were comfy and cozy; clean and very tastefully appointed. The bathroom was clean and the shower was wonderful with a very large shower head and good water pressure. Free parking in the not so wonderful parking garage, but it was free. There is a overflow parking lot across the street if you can't park in the garage. I really loved our stay and the only complaint is that I never got any cookies that were supposedly served each evening. No one told me!

“Great location, clean and well run.”

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.

“Great location, bad view”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

people found this review helpful

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 didn't like the fact that when we opened our blinds there would be our neighbors sitting right in front of our window. We got a good deal on the room, but I guess you get what you pay for.

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!

“Great location, very comfy and affordable!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012

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.

“Good location but bad service”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

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.

I am very disappointed to read your less than satisfactory review. I do apologize for the noise from the guest next door. This is very rare and I am sorry you did not enjoy your stay. 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 you are ready to book so I can personally follow-up on your reservation. Thank you.
