Nice hotel walking distance to shopping and restaurants in downtown of quaint Beaufort SC. We were a little frustrated that the TV didn't work properly, which the hotel staff blamed on the cable provider. Also, a bit surprising that the hotel charges $10 for parking when there is ample parking adjacent to the hotel.

Great stay, located in the perfect spot. Only concern was our door framw was a little cracked, and the door took a lot of pressure to close. We understand this happens with expansion in the heat, but coming back to the door unlocked and partially opened was a little scary. Upstairs vending area was a bit outdated and didn’t work. Overall a nice stay though!
