Nice spot in the heart of Beaufort

Very nice spot right in the heart of Beaufort. Walkable to all of the downtown spots (cafe's, marina, shops). Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was impressive with good choices. The room was on the smaller side, accurate and as advertised but still smaller than most hotel rooms (queen bed and desk/chair, no room for other seating like a sofa or easy chair). Great value for the price in an area of many boutique spots.

Nice hotel walking distance to shopping and restaurants in downtown of quaint Beaufort SC. We were a little frustrated that the TV didn't work properly, which the hotel staff blamed on the cable provider. Also, a bit surprising that the hotel charges $10 for parking when there is ample parking adjacent to the hotel.
