The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa
The rooms were OK but the bed was not comfortable. The Carolina Room restaurant food was average and the service was terrible, very slow and not attentive. Very pricy. Menu needs to be reworked.

Best Western Plus Bluffton / Hilton Head Hotel
I really enjoyed the staff! The hotel is fairly new so everything was nice! The two concerns were the room got warm at night and the breakfast was horrible.

Beaufort Inn
Not 4 star by a long shot. Dirty. Other people’s hair on bathroom walls, something wrong with building HVAC so loud required ear plugs to sleep. Room wasn’t serviced Saturday. Do not go to this hotel.
