Best Western Sea Island Inn

Originally booked at another hotel and switched to here after reading reviews. Great location, right by water, walking distance to downtown. Had a great run across the “Forrest Gump” bridge which is just half mile away. Room was very clean and well decorated. Staff very friendly, we got to breakfast late and felt no pressure by staff to hurry. Would definitely stay here again. less

We visit Beaufort twice a year and always stay at the Sea Island Inn. It’s a fine hotel! As we do every summer, we came down to Beaufort by boat. A group of us tied up at the marina right across the street. So here’s the absolute essence of what makes the Sea Island Inn special. When we arrived, after a hot trip down the Intercoastal Waterway, the folks at the hotel had nice cold bottles of water for us and—listen to this—offered us ice for our coolers. How customer-centric is that? Above and beyond. The inn has just done a major refurb, and our room was nicer than it was last time … and it was more than OK last time. Thick, fluffy towels; good hot water and water pressure; really high-speed internet. They also offer a good breakfast. On Sunday morning, there was a big pan of fresh-baked cinnamon buns. The devil called me, but I resisted. However, I gained two pounds just looking at them. Beaufort is a charming town, and a delight to visit, no matter what time of year. Absent the Sea Island Inn, however, I don’t think we’d make the trip as regularly as we do. At the Sea Island Inn, you don’t feel like you are staying at a hotel. It’s more like you are visiting friends. And maybe this review will serve as my thank-you note to my friends. less

Highly recommend this hotel right downtown Beaufort overlooking the water. View is great! Location is great! Staff was very accommodating! Management top notch! Nothing negative about this hotel! You WON''T BE DISAPPOINTED! less

My only small complaint is that the A/C couldn’t quite cool the room enough. It wasn’t unbearable by no means. It was 100 one day and 99 degrees the rest of the days. Late July heat so with that in mind it wasn’t bad. The hotel is in a great location to be able to walk to many nice restaurants and a great view of the water front. less

Was really impressed with this hotel. The room was a decent size and very clean. They reception rang within 5 minutes of arrival to see if there was anything else we wanted. A nice surprise was the bottle of wine left for my birthday. Parking was easy. The breakfast was a buffet but covered a wide choice - hot and cold. less
