"This was a really good hotel. We stayed one night but wished we had teserved two nights. We did not eat breakfast due to dietary reasons, but many people seemed to enjoy the meal. The hotel location is great. We walked to the beach (about 10 minutes). All long the way to the beach, my son took tome to play at park that seemed to be also accessible. The room was tight (we had 2 beds), but had a balcony yo spread. Staff was kind and helpful even when we arrived at 1 in the morning. We were greeted with a smile."

"Rooms were small for the price. You have to pay extra for breakfast, website says buffet but you order off the menu in the restaurant at a $15 limit, after that you pay the rest. Only 2 things on menu were $15 or under. If I would of know this before hand, I wouldn't of paid for the breakfast. Hotel is right by a beach access."

"We absolutely loved our trip to Hilton Head! The pool was one of the better ones that I have been to especially in this price range. I got a two bed suite and it was perfect for my wife; I; and my best friend to all be able to have enough space to be comfortable. Great location as well and would highly recommended! Only thing that is kinda strange is that they require a $150 accident damage fee deposit and it is after you book the room. Totally unexpected when they called and honestly thought it was a scam till we arrived at the hotel. They need to just do it to the card on file if there is a problem after the fact not before hand. Also it being contact-less was extremely strange and little confusing to begin with. But great hotel and we plan on staying here on our next trip there! 5/5 stars"

"MopThe property was well kept, the staff were helpful, breakfast was nutritional, but the juice was left sitting out, and it was room temperature which I would have preferred to be cold. The hotel had a $10 a day parking fee which I thought should have been free for the customers. The beach wasn't far, and the hotel did have a shuttle to transport customer's to the beach, but if you preferred to drive your own vehicle there was pay parking near the beach $3.35 during the week, and $5.35 on the weekend, but they close at 5 p.m, so be prepared if you're driving your vehicle and want to spend the day at the beach. It's a nice place, but if I could say anything to the management, it would be that an air vent installed in the bathroom would be a plus for this property. I would recommend this hotel, great place to go."
