Best Western Sea Island Inn

We felt like we had the best hotel location possible in Beaufort. The Best Western was not right on the water, but about a block away from the marina and a nice park with swings for adults overlooking the water and a playground for the kids. We were on an upper level facing the parking lot. I don't think there are any views of the water from any of the rooms, but I didn't find any hotels that did. Nice restaurants and shops all around. We were somewhat disappointed that the shops closed in the early evening on a Saturday, as we arrived in the evening and were only staying one night. There were a few ice cream shops open and restaurants, thankfully. The rooms in the hotel are small and not very bright, but clean enough and with fridge and microwave. Doors are on the outside, which isn't typically my favorite. However, the design of the hotel has a wrought iron look to it, so somehow that made the doors on the outside not so bad! Our eight year old enjoyed the pool, which is outdoors in a courtyard area. The fitness area was very small and musty. We just walked into it, did not use it. We slept well and the complimentary breakfast was one of the best complimentary breakfasts we've had, with plenty of hot, cold and fresh items. Staff and service were terrific. Very friendly. If we come back to Beaufort, we would consider staying here again. less

I really enjoyed being able to easily push my Mother around in her transfer wheelchair during our visit! You simply must dine at Plums and the little Cafe on the corner beside the Sea Island Inn was very good as well. The staff at the Inn were so friendly and helpful. It was very clean and the breakfast was more than adequate and in a large enough room to not feel rushed while eating so others could have a place to sit. Really enjoyed it! less

Love love love this place. We stay here every year with a group of friends and have a ball. The staff is very nice and the hotel is alway extremely accomodating. We enjoy walking the street as the location is very close to shops and the town. less

My 4 daughters and I visited Beaufort to see the town and visit my brother. We could not have imagined a better experience than what we had at the best western. Perfect location and wonderful innkeeper hosts! They were soooo friendly and helpful! The breakfasts were top-notch!!! We will be looking forward to planning our next visit at the Sea Island Best Western in Beaufort!!! less

Let me start by saying the staff is fantastic! We were treated like royalty from the minute we checked in. The housekeeping crew always kept the room spotless. The complimentary breakfast was great and the staff made sure that there was always fresh food at all the stations. But...this is an older property. The rooms are nice but quit small. My biggest problem was the monster in the wall that masqueraded as an air conditioner. It ran all night long, was very loud and blew cold air directly on me. There was no way to re-direct the air flow. If I tried to turn the temperature up it wouldn't come on and the room became hot. Changing the fan speed did no good. I ended up making a wall with the extra pillows that kind of worked. The location is perfect if you want to explore downtown Beaufort. You are close to several great restaurants and some nice shopping. The property is right across the street from the marina and Beaufort's beautiful waterfront park. less
