My last stay 6 weeks ago was so great and I had to come back and let a friend experience it. Top notch staff and service. The location is perfect for strolling the streets of Beaufort. The pool was clean and a great temperature to enjoy a relaxing evening after a HOT day touristing. Shelly does an amazing job with breakfast. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Beaufort.

The hotel is located walking distance from the town and across from the water. Great location to walk around to shops and food. The room was spacious and clean. The staff is helpful and is there to make sure that all guests have a wonderful experience. Parking is $10 per day at the hotel. I would certainly stay there again.
Stroll around and experience the amazing houses on the street!

Ideal location across from waterfront, shopping and dining. Included breakfast is convenient, decent selections. No elevator but with only 2 floors not really an issue unless traveling with elderly or lots of luggage or gear. They have a manual lift if needed. Very clean property and rooms. Attentive staff when needed.

While this is an older-style property (with no elevator), it was clean and quiet and at an amazing location. Just a couple blocks from the waterfront park and downtown with several dining options. I’d definitely stay here again!
