    Would Stay Here Again

    The staff was wonderful, helpful and friendly. The room smelled a little musty when I first arrived but I was not surprised given how humid the Charleston area is and I did not notice it after a while. The WiFi seemed to be pretty decent. The bed was surprisingly comfortable as were the pillows - more so than many other higher level properties I have stayed at. I slept very well. The breakfast was decent and always adds value. I was not there long enough to be able to rate everything. I was impressed enough that I would definitely consider staying here again and will also take another look at Best Western properties for future stays.

    Unworthy of the Best Western labeled; to be avoided at all cost

    This facility is unworthy of the Best Western label. It is outdated, dirty, and service is below average. There is green, moss growing on the windows, the armchairs are worn, fabric, and varnish, the bathroom layout and design date back to the 60s To be avoided at all cost.

    A Great Place to Stay When Visiting Charleston

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Charleston Inn. Located just 10 minutes from all the tourist attractions in Charleston, the motel has a beautiful pool that makes you think you are at a resort. They offer a full hot breakfast with many choices. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were nicely decorated. The lady who checked us in was very nice and was able to get us a downstairs room even though we made our reservation shortly before arrival. There are many local restaurants to choose from just a few minutes from the motel. We would absolutely stay there again.

    Not up to Past Standards

    One of the two rooms to which we were given cards was not ready to occupancy - it had not been cleaned or beds made. When we brought the matter to the attention of the desk clerk, she dropped a few f-bombs in front of our two young children which is unprofessional. In the evening, when the kids wanted to swim, the lights pool lights were not on. The same clerk said they had none which was incorrect because a maintenance man happened to come by and turn them on.
