I wish I had known more of their "anti-smoking" policy - on 1 sport on grounds you could smoke it could not in bad weather. Breakfast and the staff were nice.

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.
