Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge, Hilton Head Island hotel rooms at the Independent

"The outdoor pools were wonderful. The rooms were clean and comfortable. They do however need new rugs and the staff needs to pay attention more."

"The parking was safe & easy."

"Great trip"

"Good"

"The room was clean, we didnt really interact with staff but the check in went normally well. The ONLY bad mark is there are no elevators !!! Stairs only was an huge drawback "

"Things started off ok after we checked in, but they quickly turned bad when we found a roach crawling out of our wall the second night. It was too late to switch rooms as my son and granddaughter were already asleep so I didn’t bother mentioning it until morning. They did offer to switch our room but my worry was if they are in one room then they are in all and we were leaving early the next morning so we just stayed in the same room instead of packing up. They also decided to paint around the pool on the only sunny and warm day of the weekend rendering it useless to my kids."

"All good. Very clean. Comfortable room"

"We were very excited to stay here. Beautiful property, on the beach, a little hard to find, limited parking spaces… but the pool area was gorgeous. Check in was a wait. They don’t start until 4 pm and we arrived about 3:45 and got in line a bit hungry, thought we’d grab a quick pre dinner snack from the hotel market but it closed at 4 pm. So it felt like two strikes right off. Very clean and inviting room. However our patio with a very nice ocean front view had black mold on the concrete and walls. It was a substantial amount. We couldn’t go out and enjoy it although we paid the extra to do so….. We contacted the staff, spoke with the concierge manager who offered to refund our parking cost($20.00 a day) and what did that have to do with this problem of mold on our patio? They also offered us Marriot Bonvoy points equal to a whopping $149.00) and in order to claim that we had to sign up… Over all. For such a lovely place, we will not return and we do not recommend it. Go for a less expensive location with not so much “posh” And yes, we ended up with allergy symptoms, which we don’t have , headaches, coughs, sneezing, etc. A follow up with our doctor and we are suffering from exposure to mold…."

"Great "
