Graduation week

This hotel is clean and comfortable. It is convenient to our destination, restaurants and stores. The staff is always courteous. We have stayed there six or seven times and plan to return several times over the next two years.

This hotel is on RT 17. It is handy to downtown Charleston, several decent restaurants and stores. Everything that we need on a five day vacation/school visit is at our fingertips and the price is reasonable.

Excellent place to stay!

We have stayed in this same hotel for 3 trips to Charleston. It has an excellent location with short trips to both downtown and Folly. The rooms are very spacious and extremely clean. We look forward to our next trip back.

Great Beds!!!

The Best Western Sweetgrass Inn is about 3 miles from downtown Charleston, SC. It is an older 2-story building that has some renovations but still shows its age. Breakfast is minimal but adequate. The best things about the hotel are the mattresses. They are new in 2013 and are great. We has the best sleep of the entire trip while staying at the Best Western Sweetgrass Inn.

Bessinger's BBQ is very close. The barbeque meats are outstanding. Unfortunately, the the rest of the fare is only average.

Visit to Charleston

Though its about 15 min from the Downtown Historic district, the Sweetgrass was very comfortable, very clean and the hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Plus the price was very good compared to what you would pay Downtown. I would go back to the Sweetgrass again.

Great Staff

The only thing is that there is no elevator for the 2nd floor but they quickly found us a 1st floor rom since my husband is disabled. The staff is friendly and very helpful. Rooms are clean and neat and comfortable. Our stay was pleasant.and we would have no hesitation about going there again.
