Hilton Beachfront Resort & Spa Hilton Head Island
From the moment we stepped through the door everything was great! The free upgrade to ocean view. The pool area was so nice. When you go there see the bartenders and Dianne for breakfast! Highly recommend and will stay there again. Whats nice is they have a shuttle to go across the street for shopping ...

Beaufort Inn
When you first enter you are greeted by the staff who were super friendly. Thier attention to detail was great. They tell you a bit about the history of the Inn and a tour and actually bring you to your room. Super clean room with fresh linens. Highly recommend if your going to Beaufort.

Extended Stay America Premier Suites Bluffton Hilton Head
Room was as expected but some disappointments: - no TP in bathroom. Other guests were lined up at front counter for TP and towels. - A/C was very noisy all night. - breakfast was a joke. More of a grab and go.
