Fully updated but still had an old world charm to it . The bathroom was spotless, bed was super comfortable. We were made to feel very welcome with a complimentary bottle of champagne . The only thing that needed an upgrade was their tv - it was too small for the room and no Netflix etc available. The hotel has an excellent location too, walkable to the waterfront and kings street etc" [](https://expedia.co.uk/Charleston-Hotels-Planters-Inn.h4769.Hotel-Information) ![West Ashley Inn ](//images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/1000000/996300/996262/9489edc3_y.jpg) ### West Ashley Inn 10/10 Excellent "Pet-friendly!
