I had a decent stay at the Best Western Charleston Inn, with some notable pros and cons. The staff were friendly and attentive, particularly during breakfast, where Veronica stood out with her really good service. However, I found the rooms a bit outdated, with worn furniture and a lack of proper maintenance, which was disappointing. The location was convenient for exploring downtown Charleston, but the absence of an elevator for the second-floor rooms was something to consider when booking.

Rooms

6.0

The room felt a bit run down and dated, with some worn furniture showing signs of wear. The nice updates like a granite countertop didn't quite make up for the old, frayed rug and minor cleanliness issues in the bathroom.

Service

Service was definitely a highlight, with most staff being friendly and helpful. Veronica in the breakfast room deserves special mention for her hardworking attitude during busy mornings.
