With this hotel, you get what you pay for. It is an older hotel, so there are some expected shortcomings. They are in the process of renovating but there is a long way to go before it is completed. Pros: price, location, updated and clean rooms, friendly staff, free parking, free wifi. Cons: outside is in very poor condition, only one working elevator and it working is a stretch, hallways are hot and humid, housekeeping left bags of trash and dirty sheets from multiple rooms in the hallway overnight, their website says free breakfast but there was none and we was told to go to the hotel next door for breakfast. Not a terrible stay for the price but be aware of why the price is cheap.

I believe the property is still fixing up the hotel as it was formally Best Westrrn…still need to work on the elevator because it looked condemned…there was homeless people outside the hotel and they need to work on security on controlling how they let the homeless people come up to the door…felt a little unsafe…the room was nice and the customer arrive was good

Arrived at the Charleston Tower hotel to find it completely empty. A sign on the door said the hotel was shut down for renovations and that our reservation would be honored next door at the Quality Inn. We received no prior email, call, or text from either the hotel or Expedia informing us about the situation!!! The staff at Quality Inn were friendly and efficient but the parking lot was unsecured and adjacent to a homeless mission. When leaving the next morning, there were numerous homeless people in the area as well as a few that had set up temporary overnight shelter in the parking lot of the hotel!!! It was not like this the previous afternoon when we were checking in. We didn’t have any problems but this issue certainly needed to be mentioned. On top of that, there were never any cars or workers present at the Charleston Tower hotel which leads me to believe that there are no renovations taking place either!

Check-In staff were all excellent; very friendly and personable. Lobby area was clean and presentable. My room was very clean and comfortable. Housekeeping was attentive and friendly. My only negative was the condition of the elevator. It functions, but could use a refresh. I was somewhat disappointed that the continental breakfast was moved to the neighboring hotel. The other time I stayed here the breakfast was in this hotel and it was much nicer than next door. Not a big deal. I really like the location as I can walk to restaurants downtown. I would recommend this hotel to friends (but I would warn them about the elevator lol).

Lower your expectations

Hotel was hard to find as Hotels.com lists it as the Charleston Tower, but the signage says Best Western. Went around in circles trying to find it. Hotel definitely shows its age and lack of building maintenance. Breakfast offered was one of the poorest we've encountered.

I arrived at the hotel at 7:00pm after driving all afternoon. There was a lobby full of people. The rooms were not ready. (check in was supposed to be at 3 PM.) I waited almost 2 hours in the lobby for my room and then when I finally was able to get a room, it was not the king-size bed that I had reserved. It was two doubles. Also, the breakfast area, where the continental breakfast is, still had not been cleaned from the morning. There was food still in the trays!! (and by this time it is 9:00 at night!) The waffle irons were covered in batter stuff all over the counters tables were not wiped.

The first room I got the fire alarm in the room was chirping and just needed a battery. I asked and she moved me to a different room. The next room, the toilet didn’t work and wouldn’t flush. The best part was the bed and it being comfortable or I was just tired and any bed would have done the job.
