This is a beautiful historic motel in downtown Beaufort. Rooms are very clean. Upstairs rooms also are very clean, but there are remnants smells typical of quaint antebellum homes. There is no elevator, except for a small 2-person lift for handicapped. Plan to heft your luggage up and down stairs. Breakfast was lovely with a full hot and cold buffet.
