The hotel does not have an elevator so be prepared to haul luggage up a flight of stairs. There is a "lift" for someone in a wheelchair, but, there are no instructions and there is a weight limitation. The rooms are small. The breakfast was not great, but it was "free". You get charged for parking. That said, the location is nice. The room was very clean and comfortable.

Nice spot in the heart of Beaufort

Very nice spot right in the heart of Beaufort. Walkable to all of the downtown spots (cafe's, marina, shops). Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was impressive with good choices. The room was on the smaller side, accurate and as advertised but still smaller than most hotel rooms (queen bed and desk/chair, no room for other seating like a sofa or easy chair). Great value for the price in an area of many boutique spots.
