Hilton Head Island: Disappearing Island and Dolphin Tour
"This property was a huge disappointment. The bathroom was dirty, the baseboards and walls were filthy, and the overall cleanliness of the room was unacceptable. On top of that, the staff was unfriendly and unhelpful.
I would not recommend staying here. Between the poor condition of the property and the lack of customer service, I will not be returning."
