3 Gay Hotels in Charleston, WV — LGBTQ+ Friendly Stays

A Yelp reviewer noted Roseland Resort & Campground as a place where 'you can be yourself' in the West Virginia wilderness. This gay-owned, men-only, adults-only campground spans 222 acres with clothing-optional policies, hiking trails, a heated underground pool, steam room, and dry sauna. It's run by owners who took over in 2010 and expanded the facilities, adding a leather shop, pizza bar, and theme weekends. You'll find the vibe lively, with a mix of 20-somethings and 30-somethings. The on-site general store stocks camping supplies and swimwear, so you don't need to pack everything. If you want a hotel stay instead, the Charleston Marriott Town Center is nearby.

In downtown Charleston, Best Western Charleston Plaza sits within walking distance of two malls. Rooms are decently sized, and the free continental breakfast is a nice perk. The hotel has a slightly outdated feel but offers solid value. It's a straightforward choice for a convenient stay.

The Charleston Marriott Town Center sits right next to the Town Center mall, giving you easy access to shopping and the Civic Center. This hotel aims for comfort with a fitness center, a restaurant that puts new twists on southern favorites, and craft cocktails. The property is dog-friendly and offers a complimentary shuttle to and from the airport. You'll find yourself in downtown Charleston, close to the State Capitol and local attractions. The hotel's Yelp rating is 2.7 out of 5 across 98 reviews, so expectations should be tempered. Hours are listed as open 24/7, which is convenient for late arrivals. If you prefer a more secluded stay, check out Roseland Resort & Campground for a different vibe.
