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.

First time staying at a self service property but I loved it. Skipping the front desk was actually nice and the representatives responded promptly with all my needs. This is my new go to place in Beaufort. Decor inside was well up to date and very clean.

This is an excellent choice in downtown Beaufort, and we’ll stay here again. Having an included bike rental is a real perk. We enjoyed biking around town and the Spanish Moss Trail. Walkable to all restaurants and shopping, but quiet.

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.

Modern room in a historic building

We were very surprised but in a good way. The room was small, but because of the high ceilings and the types of furniture used it was cozy instead of claustrophobic. The shower and bathroom were above quality for this type of room. The fridge and bar area was just right. We only came one night, but our next stay will be longer.

Break from winter in Virginia.

The check in process was so easy. The room was great with a balcony. I thought it might not be so smooth not having anyone at the hotel but we had no issues at all. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
