About this place Best Western Charleston Inn

Best Western Charleston Inn is a standard chain hotel on Savannah Highway in West Ashley, across the Ashley River from Charleston's historic peninsula. It is a mainstream hotel listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. The location suits drivers: downtown, King Street and the Battery are around 10 to 15 minutes by car, and rates are usually lower than on the peninsula, where parking is expensive. Reviews average 4.0 from more than 1,600. Expect typical Best Western rooms; check the brand site for breakfast and pool details. Charleston's small gay bar scene is downtown, so plan a ride back at night.

Features

Gay-friendly (straight venue) Smoke-free Air conditioning Wheelchair accessible WiFi Year-round Pet-friendly Free breakfast

Very rude woman at the motel front desk. The room wasn’t ready at 3:00 pm, and she refused to give us an estimated time as to when it would be ready. She basically said it would be ready when it would be ready. She couldn’t give us another room bc there were only certain rooms for pets yet the motel was 90% empty. It’s supposed to be a dog friendly motel and she was being very rude about my dog. Don’t work in customer service if you don’t have customer service skills. The man that took over when she left, was very nice.

Great location because of proximity to things. The whole place would benefit from an upgrade. While the beds were comfortable, the bathroom needed a thorough deep cleaning. There was mold, broken tile, hair from previous guests, etc. There were blackberries & weeds growing in the bushes in front of our room. Beware of the palmetto bugs..they're everywhere! We went to the breakfast area while "Ms Shay" was on duty. Ms Shay was nowhere to be found even though there was plenty to be done in the dining area. She was stuck to her phone in the room where she prepared food. When my husband peaked his head in the door to let her know that the apple juice was pouring out of the machine onto the floor, she seemed bothered that she had to put her phone down. The one positive that I can mention is that the nice man from Nigeria that checked us in was very friendly.
