Awesome room. Very clean well put together. Check in was seamless. Area close enough to whatever you need and far enough to feel like your away on a sabbatical. Will definitely stay again if in the area.

Enjoyed the baloney view. The room was very nice and clean. The only thing missing was there was no ice scoop in the ice machine and there was no iron board in the room.

Room was beautiful and extremely clean. Outside sitting area could use a rinsing off. You can easily hear people/sounds in the room next door. Internet connection for TV was inconsistent. Customer service was very responsive and helpful. Wonderful location. Overall, I would stay here again.

This boutique hotel was great. I got the largest room and it was huge!!!! Velour curtains over 2 huge windows. Great big bar with a microwave, sink and fridge. Shower had 2 shower heads, in case you wanted to bring a friend. I liked that theres no check in procedure. You get texts telling you your code to get in. All of this for the same price as a Holiday Inn. Id much rather stay in a boutique hotel. You know your money is going to a couple or a family, as opposed to some mega conglomeration. The texts were personal, not an autobot, but a real person. I am making this my new place to stay when i travel to Beaufort. I really enjoyed my stay.
