This 87-room BEST WESTERN is a budget hotel
on an extremely busy road with attractions, highways, restaurants, and the
airport all nearby. Dated and tired rooms have standard chain
decor with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. Additionally, guests
complain of musty and smoky smells in some spaces, which might also get hallway and
traffic noise. Nonetheless, this hotel features Charleston’s largest outdoor pool
and has a free breakfast. Free coffee, tea, and newspapers are
offered in the lobby and free Wi-Fi and parking are also available. Although
the hotel is pet-friendly, there are daily fees and restrictions.

Scene
A chain hotel in need of an update
A friendly atmosphere rolls throughout the
hotel. Free coffee, tea, and newspapers are available in the lobby, which has
fake potted plants and an overall brown palette. The breakfast room has green
tiling, a flat-screen TV, and floor-to-ceiling windows along with light wood
tables. A few comfortable chairs decorate the interior of the
property while its exterior is set with black wrought iron seating. Grounds are well
kept with trees, shrubs, and flowers. Open-air
hallways have vending machines. However, this hotel is generally outdated with a
pink and green exterior and essentially no common areas. Those with mobility
issues should also be aware that there are no elevators.
Location
On a busy street where the airport, attractions, and restaurants are nearby
The Sweetgrass is on a heavily trafficked
road with restaurants and shops within walking distance. The Citadel and Citadel
Mall, Charles Towne Landing historical site, and Interstates 26 and 526 are
around a 10-minute drive from the hotel. South Carolina Aquarium, Waterfront Park, Port of Charleston Cruise Passenger
Terminal, and Charleston City Market are about 15 minutes away by car, as is Charleston International Airport. Parking at the hotel is free and easy.
Rooms
Chain-style rooms with mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and microwaves
Air-conditioned guest units here are outfitted in
basic chain decor, which includes green carpets, multicolored bed runners, and
generic artwork. Tan armchairs provide extra seating while flat-screen TVs sit
on top of light wood dressers. Coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and microwaves are
stacked on top of each other. Some rooms have pleasant pool views. Carpets are
stained however and the furniture has wear and tear marks. Additionally, some
rooms have musty or smoky smells and get loud traffic and hallway noise.
Bathrooms are clean with curtained shower/tub combos and white
countertops that offer lots of space. Bright lighting illuminates the space and
AQUAMER toiletries are provided, but the brown and white tile work is tired and
unstylish.
