8.6/10

My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The room was spacious, modern, and attractively decorated, with a wonderful private balcony featuring rocking chairs. It was clean and comfortable, offering a pull-out couch and a queen bed set apart by a half wall, providing just the right amount of privacy. The location was ideal, just a block from downtown shops and two blocks from the bay, making it perfect for exploring historic Beaufort. However, the dining experience through vouchers at local restaurants was a bit limited, and there could have been more variety.
