Hotel Carolina
"Totally happy and totally recommend. Easy to book, easy to communicate withโฆ love it!!"
Sonesta Resort Hilton Head Island
"Have stayed at the Sonesta on Hilton Head 3 or 4 times, definitely my hotel of choice. Restaurants/pool/beach, everything is fantastic."
Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island by IHG
"It was very quiet. Staff were nice. Bring back the waffle maker!"
The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa
"I stayed here based on the glowing reviews from past visitors. The hotel was clean, up to date and had plenty of activities and amenities. I stayed in a very clean and spacious room. I had a descent view of the water and could even catch the evening poolside movies from my balcony. Every staff member i encountered greeted me with a smile. We had a power outage,completely out of the hotel's control, but the staff was apologeyic and considerate. They were close to all the things I wanted to do but staying at one of the hotel pools was also a perfect option. I am so glad I stayed here."
Spark By Hilton Hilton Head Island
"Our stay was decent but I do not know that we would stay again. I am used to staying at Hampton by Hilton and this is definitely a few notches below. It used to be that when a hotel said breakfast included it was not just a continental breakfast but that is what it is. The pool was nice and clean. The rooms were decent and well maintained. The location was great which is why we picked it. Horrible parking and not enough space. Doors to the rooms are outside so it reminds me of a super budget motel. Price was decent so between price and location we were ok with our decision."
Omni Hilton Head Oceanfront Resort
"Our stay at the Omni Resort was wonderful! Very clean and well kept resort with lots of amenities. Staff was very friendly and always ready to assist. We will definitely stay there again on our next trip to Hilton Head!"
