Tucked just off Savannah Highway, the hotel is a short 10-15 minute drive to the historic downtown district and the beaches of Folly and Sullivanâs Island. While itâs not in the heart of the old city, the trade-off is worth it. You get free parking, easy access to major routes, and a location that feels safe, quiet, and cleanâideal for families, road trippers, or business travelers looking for a stress-free base.
Rooms are modern, fresh, and remarkably well-kept. Housekeeping clearly takes pride in their workâeverything from the bedding to the bathroom was spotless. The beds are comfortable, the AC is reliable (a must in a Charleston summer), and thereâs plenty of space to stretch out. Even better, many rooms open directly to the outside, which makes unloading your luggage a breeze.
The staff, however, is what sets this hotel apart. From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with genuine Southern hospitality. Every requestâwhether it was a recommendation for nearby restaurants or a late checkoutâwas handled with a smile and a willingness to help. Itâs the kind of service that sticks with you.
Breakfast is complimentary and surprisingly satisfying, with hot options like eggs, sausage, and waffles alongside fresh fruit and coffee. The outdoor pool is another welcome perkâclean, quiet, and perfect for cooling off after a day of sightseeing.
In short, Best Western Charleston Inn proves that affordable doesnât have to mean average.
