My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were nice and cool, although I hope they address the humidity issue soon. The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to explore downtown Beaufort and enjoy the nearby shops and restaurants. The service was wonderful, with staff willing to go above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay. However, the dining experience was a bit of a mix, with some dishes being delicious while others fell short of expectations.

My stay at the hotel was simply fantastic. The room had its own entrance from the side of the house, making it convenient to access the parking area without walking through the house. It was spotless and comfortable, perfect for a great Low Country stay before heading to a beach vacation. The service exceeded my expectations with a to-go breakfast prepared for us and even a bottle of champagne in our room upon check-in. The location was ideal, within walking distance from the waterfront and many shops and restaurants, making it a romantic choice for an elopement. The dining experience was wonderful with top-notch fare and excellent wait staff. Overall, a delightful experience.

My stay at the hotel was perfect for a Low Country getaway before heading off to the beach. The rooms were peaceful and quiet, although they are below street level, which means keeping the curtains closed. Despite this, the tranquility was blissful. Just make sure your room isn't directly above the HVAC units covered with lattice, as they can be heard running.
