Hello all: I have recently become aware of a conference I would like to attend in Charleston, SC. I live overseas currently so would like to extend my stay by a few days to see the area. The conference will be held at the Francis Marion Hotel at 387 King Street. Apparently there was a block of rooms reserved but according to the hotel website there are no more available. Could someone recommend affordable accommodation for a single traveller that is within easy walking distance from this hotel? I am happy to stay in a hostel, guesthouse or B&B, and would like to pay less than $100 a night if possible. I apologize for my ignorance, I am in the process of familiarizing myself with the layout of Charleston etc but as this is rapidly approaching (Oct. 8 or 9 - 14th) I'd appreciate any information you may have.

Thanks
Carrie

The King George IV B&B is relatively near the hotel, I think - just a few blocks and is one of the more reasonably priced accommodations. Advertised rates are $89 - $189. Less than $100 a night in Charleston will be difficult in October, IMO.

I think Thomas6 is referring to the Best Western King George Inn--not necessarily a B&B, but good accomodations and near Frances Marion. Book online through http://www.kingcharlesinn.com/

No, I meant the King George IV B&B, www.kinggeorgeiv.com. It is a bed and breakfast, not a motel, and I have stayed there. Decent accommodations and well priced for Charleston. It is on George near Meeting Street about three blocks away from the Francis Marion hotel.

Nothing in the historic district is very far. You might look at the Meeting Street Inn--they run specials.
