I booked and pre-paid for the Federal room for a 2 night birthday weekend. Upon arrival I was told…read morethere was a broken air conditioner and we would be staying in their basement room, which was outside the house, down the stairs. No offer for discount. The next morning when people checked out of the Federal room (guess the air conditioner was functioning in that room after all), we were begrudgingly moved to that room, which was indeed lovely. They offered a gift card for our troubles and after some back and forth agreed we did not have to pay for the night we spent in the basement room. The whole thing was handled poorly and put a damper on the weekend. The owner clearly wanted nothing to do with us, but the staff did feel badly and tried to compensate. Will not be staying again.

We came here with the family, including our pup, and loved it…read more The continental breakfast was pretty good! We has two quiches to choose from, bacon, boiled eggs, waffles, yogurt, fruit, pastries and bread, coffee, tea, juices, cereal, 2% milk and almond milk, and some other things. It's very close to the downtown area, we walked at night to grab dinner. Just know it is very dark at night, which may make navigating the downtown area difficult for those visually impaired or need physical accommodations. The check in staff was lovely, and helped up get our dog checked in for $35 a night. The rooms are spacious, renovated, but I noticed some areas that a renovation can't hide- alas, this is a best western. Very lovely place to stay when you're in the area, very well priced, close to downtown and the river walk. From one hotel snob to another, this was definitely doable! (Especially if you're a boutique hotel lover). It almost gave boutique hotel vibes, but more family friendly.

The Best Western Sea Island Inn had it all.. location, comfortable rooms and friendly staff. It…read morewas a nice place to stay for our 2-nights in Beaufort and I was thrilled to get a great rate on Priceline. The staff upon check in, check-out and throughout our stay was very friendly and helpful. Complimentary water bottles were also available in the reception area throughout our stay. Free parking on the property is also convenient. Our room was on the second floor, which required a bit of walking and stairs, which we did not mind. But, keep this in mind if that may be an issue for you. The room and bed were very comfortable and had all the amenities we would need. The complimentary breakfast is by far one of the best breakfasts included with a stay. An ample selection of hot food (eggs, bacon, sausage) as well as freshly baked biscuits, muffins and hummingbird cake! Yes, hummingbird cake! I've always wanted to try it and it did not disappoint. I'd easily stay at the Best Western Sea Island Inn again if I found myself in Beaufort, SC.

Recently we had to be in Beaufort, SC for a bit of business and decided to add an extra day. Having…read morestayed there once previously, we remembered how enamored we were with the quaint downtown and decided to look for accommodations there. Through our research, we finally settled on 607 Bay Inn and I'm glad we did. We were graciously welcomed upon arrival and given a lay of the land which included two communal kitchens, the veranda and balcony, and our room. Our room was situated on the second floor at the back of the house. Each room has its own private bath. We also received vouchers to be used for breakfast at our choice of a couple of different eateries downtown. 607 Bay is easily within walking distance of shopping and restaurants as well as the waterfront. The inn has delightful waterfront views itself. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the balcony as well as our evening nightcap. It wasn't until a few years ago that I realized I had an appreciation for architecture, especially that of the previous century or two. This inn has that charm in spades. Though the essentials are updated as you can see from the pictures, the old wooden floors have a creak to them and the doors to the front of the house have notes on how to open them with ease. It's a charm that, to me, is priceless. Everything at the inn was well appointed. We had zero issues during our stay. If we're ever back in the area, staying here again would be an easy yes for us. I would recommend it for you as well.

Traditional inn in a pretty pink house with rooms decorated with old fashioned wardrobes and…read moreflowery wallpaper. Bed rather soft and bouncy which is always an issue with older lodgings. The place can use some updating and they seem to be doing that - part of the house is under construction looking like a new deck in the works and at night also work being done to the lobby. The room we booked is a "courtyard queen studio" which has the following description on the website - "Our Courtyard Queen Studio guest rooms are ideal for business or solo travelers. These rooms feature queen beds and stand-up showers. The upper-floor studios have private verandas that overlook the semi-private Lower Courtyard, and the ground studios have lovely front patios and gardens adjacent". However our room doesn't seem to match much of the description other than it has one queen bed, as the bathroom has a small tub, and we are on the second floor but no veranda (maybe second floor is not "upper floor"?). Anyway also not sure why they are called "studios" since it's just one standard room. Anyway other than that our overall stay is comfortable enough - the ceiling fan is a good feature. Breakfast is a bit of an issue however. The inn doesn't provide breakfast so you are given a voucher to have breakfast at one of two nearby cafes. Each voucher basically only subsidizes your breakfast by $7 or $10 respectively which is not enough to include coffee or tea and depending on what food you order will not cover the full amount of that either. That came as a surprise and is not what I'd expected when breakfast is supposed to be included. I don't mind going somewhere else for breakfast but the voucher should cover a set menu that includes at the very least breakfast food and beverages.

Dirty rooms with mold. No privacy. FALSE advertising…read more The photos of the rooms are beyond misleading. Privacy is non-existent. You can hear through the walls. Almost all of rooms are just modified duplexes/apartment buildings with shared entryways and balconies. We booked one room for almost $500 a night for a romantic evening and they tried to put us in a cheaper room thinking we would not notice. It was damp, moldy and I found a bug in the room. Once I complained that it did not match our reservation, they suddenly told us about an alleged A/C issue and tried to put us in a "better room". The furniture was damaged and the shower was moldy in that room and in NO way was this comparable to the reservation we made a month prior. Park passes, breakfast and bicycle rentals are "complimentary" but yet they charge you $18 a day resort fee to have access. I do not recommend staying here at all.

Pretty decent location...about 10-15 minutes from the islands. There are several shopping/food…read moreplaces nearby. The hotel itself is as expected, clean and the hotel staff is friendly. The only negative is they don't honor Hilton credits because they don't have a restaurant. I think that's silly because they still do offer snacks and other things to purchase at the front desk. Can I at least get a water bottle in my room? Overall good pick tho. Photo is on day three and lived in.

Unacceptable Safety Breach & Shocking Management Failures…read more I returned to my room at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, July 15th to find housekeeping had left my door propped wide open to the public. I immediately went to the front desk where two receptionists were working. One receptionist located an available, clean room and actively began processing my safety transfer, while the other receptionist stepped away to call General Manager Faith Allen, who was off-property. Faith Allen explicitly ordered the staff to halt the transfer and withhold the clean room to prioritize guests who hadn't even checked in yet, forcing me out into the night for my own safety. When I noticed they wrongfully billed me for an extra night, I called Faith Allen on Thursday. Instead of showing accountability, she was aggressive and dismissive. She told me I checked out after 4:00 PM, ordered me to "live with it," and insisted I would absolutely be charged--completely ignoring that her own staff's severe safety breach forced my emergency departure. Her total lack of integrity and hostile attitude are a disgrace to the Hilton brand. When I tried to escalate her actions, I discovered the ownership group, Fidelity Management Group, has completely disconnected phone lines and ignores all emails. They are running a reckless franchise with zero local oversight. Ultimately, the Hilton Corporate Executive Office had to step in, override this local property, force a full night's refund, and issue major compensation for these severe violations. Avoid this location. Faith Allen is a liability, and Fidelity Management Group is completely asleep at the wheel.

Wonderful stay at Magnolia in September we can't wait to return…read more Duncan & Jackie are wonderful hosts and their attention to detail is amazing. The accommodation is like home from home everything you could possibly need and more is available. The location is ideal for a stroll into town or wander up Pigeon Point Road to see the sunset over the river. We sampled a few of the local restaurants during our stay which we enjoyed. So much to see and do, beautiful area lovely planting and the Magnolia Tree is huge! Bikes were also available which we also used during our stay try the Spanish Moss trail, or have a walk over the huge swing Bridge where part of Forrest Gump was filmed. So good we've booked again for 2026.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. The customer service is pitiful. The heavy set lady behind the…read morefront desk with the locs is BEYOND rude. We waited for our room for THREE HOURS for the housekeeper (darker skinned/little ponytail) to talk about their personal life instead of making sure a room was cleaned for us to check into. The elevator is "broken", it's 84 degrees outside and the pool is "closed". The lady at the front doesn't cover her mouth when she coughs and continually rolls her eyes. I wish I could post photos of this scenario because I definitely will be sending them to HR. No one comes and spends this much to stay at a Hilton to not be treated with the upmost respect. This is NOT the super 8 and these ladies should take their "talents" elsewhere.

The physical appearance of the hotel looked like it was in Gaza (pictures will follow). Apparently it is under renovation.

Everything was frozen (nothing was made fresh). My room was cramped, musty and outdated. I would never stay at this hotel again.
