The cashier lady was very kind and helpful. The TV wasn't working, and she went to the room and fixed it. The room was very clean. The smoke detector was detached from the wall. The pool floor looked dirty or stained.

Nice hotel near Shelter Cove and Palmetto Dunes. Clean and comfortable. Check in is contact less and there was a awkward tech issue, but everything else made up for it. Clean pool area. Walking distance to Hilton Head Diner, Shelter Cove and a big Mini golf area if you have kids or like to mini golf. Good price for the location.

This hotel is not what is pictured. We came into town to a hotel that needs to be torn down. Unfortunately, because we thought the pictures online looked nice but could not get a refund for the reservation as they would not refund due to it being check-in day. We did not even walk into the room, as the property was less than desirable. It is a shame and a waste of hard earned money.

Had an awesome stay! The room was clean and the bed was nice and comfy. You could tell the sheets were softer than average hotel sheets. The pool was clean and they had towels by the pool. Loved the contactless check in, made it quick and easy especially since we got there late.

This is a redone Days Inn. You can't ignore that, but they've dive a good job with it. I stayed in the 1 bedroom suite. The room was very clean, recently renovated. There was no carpet. There was no room servicing, but I like it that way. The suite was very spacious. This is a good value for someone looking for value. Check-in was via text, with a code sent for your room, which worked fine. I could not stay here with my wife for various reasons - some noise from above tenants, light coming through the not-blackout shades (and lights on outside all night), the inability to control the bedroom A/C (the other unit was fine, but the bedroom one seemed unresponsive). If you're looking for value and don't need fancy, it's a good place to stay. Convenient location, easy parking and access, very responsive staff via text and email. Everything you need for a good basic stay.

Issues from the beginning. New management wouldn’t honor the reservation. Had to spend over an hour, and thanks to Expedia, at least we didn’t loose money. No desk staff after 5. They want to be 100% no staff. Bathroom door wouldn’t close. Seemed super cheap - and the cost wasn’t cheap. We will never stay here again.

They have no in person check-in so you expect a code to get in the room on the day of arrival. However, in my case, and that was two weeks in a row they did not send the code because I booked the room through Expedia and apparently Expedia did not facilitate the transfer of funds so I had to make a few phone calls before I would get the code. The Internet is great and the room is clean, although the window is facing the corridor, so you have to keep it covered. The garbage container is at the bottom of the stairs, which is an extremely bad idea because during the summer you're gonna have a stench. And the staff does not empty the garbage in the room during your stay. So, it is an OK , affordable hotel with great location for families on a tight budget whatever tight may mean these days.
