Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The room was spacious, modern, and attractively decorated, with a wonderful private balcony featuring rocking chairs. It was clean and comfortable, offering a pull-out couch and a queen bed set apart by a half wall, providing just the right amount of privacy. The location was ideal, just a block from downtown shops and two blocks from the bay, making it perfect for exploring historic Beaufort. However, the dining experience through vouchers at local restaurants was a bit limited, and there could have been more variety.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, spacious, and well-appointed, making my stay very comfortable. The service was top-notch, with friendly and helpful staff taking care of all our needs. The location was superb, within walking distance of everything interesting in downtown Beaufort. The dining experience, although off-site, provided good options via vouchers for local cafes. The facilities were great, enhancing my overall experience.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was fantastic, near shops and restaurants, but my room, though spacious and full of character, faced a busy street. The service was eager to please, but seemed a bit tired at times. The dining options were unique but not exceptional. Overall, it was good value for money.
