Best Western Sea Island Inn
The location of this hotel is great, very walkable to all the shops and restaurants of Beaufort, also many of the historic sites. Breakfast is great and the pool was very nice. Daily service in the room is not offered unless requested which was fine for me, but we did have to request wash clothes ...

Hilton Beachfront Resort & Spa Hilton Head Island
We really enjoyed our stay at the Hilton. Staff was wonderful throughout the hotel. Big props to KITY. A pleasure to speak to and she made reservations for us on two nights. Excellent selections and probably the best chicken parm I ever had. (OMBRA). We will be back. 👍

Hampton Inn Hilton Head
Stay was OK. On a positive note the staff was friendly and room was clean, but the furniture and decor is worn and outdated, the room was arranged awkwardly making it hard to walk around the bed. The AC didn't cool well and was noisy.
