“Perfect Location for exploring the sea islands........”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 December 2011
3
people found this review helpful

.....but don't be fooled by the promo photo, its a main road (not too busy though!), not a car park in the foregound! We really liked Beaufort, its a real charmer. The high street (2 mins walk) is full of interesting shops and eateries (don't miss Luthers Pharmacy - great atmosphere, music and good food). The Sea Island Inn is a motel style hotel (room door opening on to porch) located just across the road from the waterfront and marina. It has large well appointed and clean rooms plus a small private pool. Breakfast was quite good and plentiful. The staff were helpful. Overall it was a good standard of accommodation and was good value for money. Location was excellent. We enjoyed the sunset dolphin cruise (just managed to see one!) and Hunting Island reserve was a real treat (natural maritime forest)

Room Tip: Rooms over reception will give a good view of the tidal creek, rooms at the rear werre quieter (mayb...

“What a nice place to stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

people found this review helpful

Just stayed 3 nites at this really pleasant facility. Very comfortable room (bed was great), spotless, roomy for the two of us. Complimentary breakfast room was also very nicely appointed and food was good. Outdoor tables looking out onto Bay St and the water directly across, fantastic. Ideal place to stay if you want to see beautiful Beaufort SC. Had several interactions with office staff and each one was pleasant and accommodating. Will be our go-to place for future visits to the area.

Room Tip: Our room was right off the office and directly across from the breakfast room but there was very lit...

“Just Absolutely Fabulous”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

person found this review helpful

We have stayed here many times and keep coming back again and again when we are in this area. This property is exceptional in its location, amenities, food service, rooms, friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, and cleanliness of the entire facility. Every dollar spent is worth every cent. Highly recommend.

Room Tip: Not a bad room in the place; all quite and very accessible.

“Pretty good experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This is a no-frills motel with friendly, helpful staff and a great location. Our room was small but fine for our needs and it contained a fridge and microwave (and a bowl of candy!). We were worried that there would be a lot of noise in the morning, but it wasn't too bad. The breakfast buffet was a typical one with yogurt, fruit, toast, cereal, eggs, etc. The waffles were really good! My only complaint is that upon checking in we were told that breakfast would be until 9:30 every day. However on the second day there they were closing things down at 9:00 and we were sternly rebuked for showing up at the last minute. The woman running the breakfast that day was not very friendly or happy to see us (maybe she was just having a rough morning). She also told us that it's common for people to misunderstand the breakfast schedule because it is basically different every day of the week. My suggestion would be to standardize this schedule. Overall we felt like this was a good motel to stay at, especially for the price.
