Not what I paid for...
Best Western When arrived, told that ground floor flooded, then they have no elevator. Husband has heart condition so couldn't do stairs. Then they sent us next door to Sleep Inn, had to walk a little distance. No king bed as I paid for, very small room. Not comfortable at all.

The front desk gal was lovely & professional. We were extremely disappointed that no where on the booking sight said the pool was out of service & the room , while it was clean, smelled moldy & stale. I won’t be a return guest.

Surprise Pet Fee/ Roach Infestation
The sink outside the toilet room was backed up and did not adequately drain. There was GRIME on the remote, furniture and lamps. I visibly saw dirt in the corners of the room and bathroom. There was an active prescience of roaches. In addition, there were surprise charges not mentioned when I booked, one was the pet fee. I made a notation that I was bringing out 9 pound dog and wanted a dog friendly room. However, when the final charges appeared on my confirmation, there was no mention of a separate pet fee. I did not find this out until we checked in.

The shower in our room would not work at all. Very inconvenient. We were in Charleston for my granddaughter's surgery and couldn't even take a shower. When we notified the staff the front desk person working on 7/25/24 at 11 am was rude and stated that we should have checked the shower when we got there. I could not believe that she said that. I had already notified the night shift person at 6am when I discovered the shower would not work. I asked to speak to the manager and she was just as ruse as the clerk. She made it seem as if though it was our fault that the shower didn't work and that their maintenance person did not make sure our shower worked before we for there. I was very disappointed that the shower was mot working and even more disappointed that the staff was not apologetic at all and treated us this way! We will not be staying at any Best Western again!

The hotel was a nice place to stay. The room was clean and well maintained while we were there. The hardest part was when we got to the hotel was spotting it entrance, Not a big thing but there is not to many places to eat nearby within walking distance. I still would recommend it .

We only stayed last minute for 1 night. I searched for pet friendly & searched everywhere on the site for fees associated with pets as well as how to notify them when we booked online that we had a n 8 pound dog... never found anything except pet friendly. We checked in late and checked out early. We left the room cleaner than we found it bc we had to clean up several dead roaches & the gaps in the doors let all kinds of bugs and mosquitoes in and made it hard to keep cool. We didnt complain bc it was fairy inexpensive hotel & we survived the night. The next morning a very rude lady called me and said one of the employees saw we had a dog leaving the room & was trying to collect an extra $100 for a pet fee! The whole room was only $150 for the night and my little Shia-poo is hypoallergenic, doesn't shed, & didn't make a mess at all. She said the pet fee was $30 but since we didn't "notify" them we had a pet, it was going to be $100! I said it was pet friendly and we didn't try to hide anything. She demanded i give her a credit card to pay the extra $100 & when i said i didn't agree to that, she said she was going to charge my credit card i used to pay for the room & threatened something else i couldn't understand before she hung up on me! I haven't heard from them since & still haven't seen the extra charge on my credit card but I will dispute it if it shows up. The lady that checked us in when we got therewas nice but the unclear policies and rudeness are unacceptable

We stayed here one night prior to going on a cruise. We felt safe, the area was convenient to dining, stores and most importantly the port. There were minor things with the room I would consider “unclean” but not enough to prevent me from staying. The only real negative was the huge gap underneath the door that was obviously allowing our “cool air” to escape making it slightly uncomfortable in the room…we solved this by placing a towel in the gap.
