Reviews of The Beaufort Inn

The bed was uncomfortable. Bad mattress

Disappointed. Outside of Inn is beautiful.

Location was excellent. Could walk easily to many things.outside of building inviting.

The bedroom was tired and the bathroom baseboards and door were very dirty. The window sill in the tub area was deteriorated and underneath the sill was black. Needs serious attention. This room was expensive. Public area were nice. Breakfast was disappointing.

Service

Colett was so helpful and accommodating. Felt comfortable immediately. Defiantly recommend

Great stay

I stay at The Beaufort Inn almost weekly for business. Great spot and centrally located. Able to walk everywhere. Service is fantastic. Colette is always so Friendly and makes checking in a breeze. Highly recommend

Nicely appointed property close to everything downtown

I attended a team retreat in Beaufort last week and we had accommodations at the Beaufort Inn. I found my room to be nicely decorated and relaxing. This property is one street over from the waterfront, making it close to all the restaurants and shops on Bay Street. This property offers many different room types to accommodate you and your guests. My room had a huge balcony which gave me the opportunity to sit out on and take in the nice afternoon breeze.

Great!

Great location! Great staff / helpful check-in.

Beautiful old inn

Beautiful old Inn. Easy walk to downtown. Service is great. Morning biscuit bar is very tasty.

Best lodging experience EVER!

First time staying in Beaufort, decided to stay over in route to HHI. The Inn was a fabulous stay, the place is really its own community. Staff was excellent and super friendly as well. After getting to HHI for the first time, we would have preferred to spend our entire vacation at the Beaufort Inn. Definitely coming back and highly recommending to friends and family.

Wonderful stay

Lovely hotel with spacious rooms and beautiful gardens. Close proximity to a multitude of great restaurants within a block or two. Free parking too. Continental breakfast included delicious homemade biscuits, sausage gravy, fruits and coffee. Staff were very friendly and on the ball. We’ll be back!

Anniversary trip June 2026

A very nice and clean Inn in downtown Beaufort, SC. Walking distance to the river and many downtown shops and restaurants. They will allow pets in the cottages.

The Caretaker's Cottage is not suitable for a good night's rest.

We were "upgraded" to the Caretakers cottage which was later described to us as the "cottage the previous maintenance man had hoped would be hit by lightning"!! It was not updated, it was not clean, the floor boards were loose, the bed was super loud, lots of black hair in the shower and on the floor, and so much more!! We tried to leave as soon as the sun came up, but were delayed by a flat tire as we were told to park on a very uneven and broken brick driveway. The good parts of our stay were the maintenance man was wonderful as he pumped up our tire so we could get to the tire shop and they didn't charge us for the horrible experience.

We loved that it was a historical building in a perfect location.

The property desperately needs a deep cleaning, and they could try a little harder with breakfast.

Enjoyed our stay

Our family visited the area and enjoyed staying at the Beaufort Inn. Located near Bay St, the location is very convenient for short walks to shops and restaurants. I recommend to others and will stay here the next time I visit.

Quaint, quality and peace!

I absolutely loved my experience at The Beaufort Inn. It's my first visit and was for a work retreat. The rooms were furnished simply yet classically. The decor was so appropriate for the space. I had everything I needed. The sense of security was great as it feels like a villa with its collections of Inns. I loved the breakfast which felt like much more than continental. The courtyards with running water through the property were super special and added to the peacefulness of the overall experience. I especially enjoyed that it was in walking distance, less than 2 blocks from the waterfront. It was truly worthy the journey to get to it. I'd highly recommend it and would love to visit again!

What a Disappointment!

A lovely exterior and prime location masks rooms in dire need of renovation! I was excited to stay here and upon entry everything looked great. My room, however, was unacceptable. No shampoo (had to ask twice to get it refilled), dinged up furniture, lumpy pillows, thin sheets, non-functioning TV and thermostat, broken phone. Amenities mentioned on the site such as “plush robes” were non-existent. Rooms 5 and 6 in the main inn are next to the loudest HVAC system I have ever heard, making sleep difficult. Mildew in the tub grout, peeling paint. Breakfast was weak. No water in the rooms. Never received a final invoice. I hope someone invests in improving this property as it is in a fantastic location.

A Gorgeous Boutique Hotel

The Beaufort Inn is one of the most beautiful hotels I've ever experienced! I recently visited Beaufort, South Carolina's The Original Gullah Festival for the first time and stayed at The Beaufort inn. It is in the historic downtown area and is within walking distance to the lovely Chambers Park as well as many restaurants and even a bank if you need an ATM!!! It is a boutique hotel with a gorgeous main building and several magnificent cottages that line one block. I was there for one week, and the hotel rooms were reasonably priced! I stayed in a Queen Cottage for two with a friend. The room was cleaned daily. I loved the rain shower in the bathroom!!! It didn't bother me that there was no bathtub for this room. There was also a mini refrigerator, and machine for ice, coffee, and tea. I wish there had been a microwave for warming up food we couldn't finish while at a restaurant, but could eat later as a midnight snack. I enjoyed the continental breakfast. The hotel does not serve lunch or dinner, but there are a number of nice restaurants along the Chambers Park and Historic District as well as the suurrounding Islands. I helped myself to Biscuits with a variety of fruit, jams and spreads, bacon, donuts, coffee, tea, bagels, and cereal. One thing I was disappointed with was the lack of authentic Southern cuisine in Beaufort, SC, as well as the nearby islands of St. Helena, Port Royal, and Lady's Island, like fish and grits, fried chicken, sweet potatoes, collard greens, and even sweet potato pie!!! Overall, I had a FANTASTIC time! Book early. Rooms sell out fast around the time of the Gullah Festival. Maybe next year I'll stay for two weeks--so many wonderful things to do and see!!!

South Carolina Charm

A very pleasant experience in a lovely destination

Love the Beaufort Inn

Beautiful room Great atmosphere Great location with easy walking to downtown Great pet support

The best part of the stay was Ms Elisabeth, the nice lady in the front checking you in. Older gentleman was not so cord

Convenience Grounds were maintained nicely.

For the price we were extremely disappointed. Rooms were clean. No blankets, no microwave. Carpet was heavily stained making it appear dirty. Room had no ambience, personality for the price.

Lovely, so much we have stayed there (7) times.

We have stayed here about (7) times. We love this property, it was PINK in color and when we arrived and saw it painted White were surprised because for us it was such a statement in it's PINK color. I am mentioning this in case you have stayed there before but were confused by the photo in white. It is the best location and has several room options for all occasions. Staff just smiles and ask how your stay is going, it is just so friendly and wonderful. We love that there are a few pet friendly options as we travel with our sweet boy. Breakfast is included and is standard but has a few extras, like sausage and gray and biscuits. We don't eat this as we are watching our shapes but it is a nice southern option to offer. The INN used to give vouchers to a few eatery's in town but now they have it in house which is nice. Bikes are great to ride through the historic streets or walk as well. It is just a lovely place.
