I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful and very nice, but there were some issues like no towels and having to share an entrance with another couple. The service was incredibly helpful and kind, although a bit too loud at times, not allowing for a peaceful nap during the day. The location was excellent, right near the Historic District and within walking distance of many attractions. The dining options were decent but could be improved with a warm dish like eggs. Overall, the hotel had its strengths and weaknesses.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On the bright side, the rooms had character with lovely decor and spacious bathrooms, but there were disruptions from early morning trash collection and barking dogs. The service was exceptional with a very friendly and helpful staff that really knew the area. The location was unbeatable, close to everything downtown Charleston has to offer. Although the dining options were satisfactory, the noisy surroundings and lack of quiet at times were drawbacks.

Staying at Kings Courtyard Inn was a delightful experience. The rooms were lovely, comfortable, and bright, offering a king courtyard view on the third floor. The multiple courtyard areas to enjoy breakfast and cocktail hour were a real highlight; however, a deep cleaning could have enhanced the overall experience.
