perfect location for Charleston Library society and a long list of excellent small shops right outside the door. Breakfast was simple but good - all I needed. The lack of available water other than from the faucet inside the hotel was a bit of a problem.. a source of bottled water would have been wonderful. Staff all excellent..welcoming and helpful.

The property is a small historic hotel. They still use actual keys for the rooms. No key cards, which you don’t see a lot of these days. It was very quiet and in a safe area. Very walkable to shopping and dining. Breakfast was included and they will bring it up to your room if you want them too. They provide menu cards that you have to fill out and hang on your door before 11 PM every night. Look

We loved our stay at the King's Courtyard Inn. The staff were kind and helpful. Wine and cheese hour, sherry afterwards, and the breakfast were all great little plus ones. Our room was cozy and the whole Inn was really cozy with it's small courtyards and fountains. The locations is fantastic! Step out the front door and you're on King Street. We never drove anywhere and walked to all of our meals. We'll be back!

Well maintained and clean. Friendly and helpful staff! Free breakfast and coffee delivered to our room every morning was such a treat! Great location to everything in the historic district. Our room was decorated so charming and clean but only downside was the mattresses are wearing down a bit and need to be replaced, regardless, we slept well and I would still recommend. Great check in/checkout times as well!

Cute boutique hotel in old district

Just a few blocks walk to the famous market. Room was pleasant with high ceilings. Bed was a little soft. Continental breakfast was better than expected. Free parking behind building.

Tastefully renovated historic hotel, close walking distance to tourist attractions. Helpful and friendly staff. Quiet, clean and comfortable room. Easy parking lot immediately behind hotel for $17 / day (public parking lot). A continental breakfast is included, which was just okay.
