Friendly staff, nice accommodations, but had difficulty with maid service.. room was only cleaned very late in the evening and dirty towels were left in bathroom. Had to go to front desk for clean towels one afternoon so we could shower for dinner. Body wash dispenser in shower was completely out and we had to use the same 2 glasses provided the whole 5 days we were there. Floor didn’t seem to be cleaned of sand and dirt the first 3 days, but after bringing it to attention of cleaning supervisor, it was cleaned the next day.
TV in our room did not connect to WiFi and it took several days and numerous staff to look at it , but finally got it connected. Also.. lighted mirror in bathroom did not work, but we never mentioned it to housekeeping.
Pool area was very small with only 6-7 lounge chairs.
Hotel is not on beachside… as it appears in their photos, but is across the street. You can access the beach by crossing the street (w/o a crosswalk) and walk down a very long narrow dirt path to the beach.
I will have to say all staff were very nice and tried their best to make our stay nice.
About 10 min walk to Coligny Beach and shopping.👍

The check-in was quick and easy. They have fresh baked cookies and water ready for you. Staff was efficient and friendly.
The room was clean and spacious with a nice balcony for a good breeze.
The path to the beach is just across the street and an easy walk into town. We will be back

I booked a king room with a balcony. When we got there, we checked in, parked pretty far away, carried our luggage to out room only to find 2 queen beds. Noone informed us of a room change prior to walking in and finding out ourselves. It would have been nice to be informed when checking in at least. When i went back down to the desk to ask i was told there was probably a maintenence problem.They did offer us a free breakfast for the inconvenience but it doesn't change the bed size. When we checked out the women at the desk asked how our stay was. I explained again and she replied with oh your are supposed to have a free breakfast and a sorry. We declined the breakfast and she said ok you're good. No thank you. The parking is pretty far away from the hotel, they did have someone driving a golf cart to give you a ride back to the hotel which was nice when you have a lot to carry. Also cookies and waters when you checked in. Other than not being thanked for staying there the staff was friendly. The room was clean. The beds were not very comfortable, on the firm side. I sat in the desk chair and all most fell over backwards, that probably needed replaced. The tv was good. Over all it wasnt horrible but definitely did not live up to my expectations, which aren't that high.

We were skeptical at first due to the star rating, but we were only coming to Hilton Head for one night for a 5K. We ended up being pleasantly surprised.

The staff were very polite and professional. The room was nice and clean. We had a very restful night, mattress was quite comfortable surprisingly. And the welcome bag of complimentary water and cookies were a very nice touch! Would absolutely stay here again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Our suite was spacious and equipped with every amenity listed along with a microwave and stove. The hotel was located within walking or biking distance from the beach, coligny park, and even shopping stores. The entire staff maintained the highest quality of professionalism, friendly, and greeted each customer with a smile. I worked definitely stay here again and also refer others. The only minor issue I experienced was- that the laminate floor in our room needed to be swept, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with a hard floor powered mop( I will request this upon my next visit). The tables, desk, and headboard also needed to be wiped down with disinfectant wipes. I brought my own lysol and clorox wipes and wiped down everything in the room. I believe that any issue can be resolved. Overall, our stay was comfortable, quiet, and pleasant.

The property itself was very nice. When we tried to check in, we were given a room, but when we went to it, somebody was already in it. It took a half hour to get another room. In our second room, the toilet clogged. We called multiple times to have it fixed. They ended up moving us to another room. The room they moved it to smelled terrible. Also, the balcony door wouldn’t open.

I booked this hotel because of the great experience I had last year. Upon arrival, I must admit I became a little skeptical when I learned the hotel had changed ownership or management. Many changes were taking place even during my one-week stay. The complimentary breakfast was replaced by a bar/restaurant and what appeared to be a meeting room was being built. Apparently, last year I had been upgraded to a suite because my room this year was much smaller. This room overlooked some equipment and had no access to the balcony which I really enjoyed last year. This year my room was much smaller with two queen-size beds, a desk chair and a padded chair. The large TV, refrigerator and microwave all worked very well. Honestly, I think this room would be very crowded for more than two people. With all that being said, I will say the room, bathroom and everything were very clean. What makes this place so great is its outstanding staff. Every single person from the front desk, to the maintenance, to management to housekeepers is the best. They are all so willing to help and they always had fresh, hot coffee in the front lobby. Another reason I like this hotel is the size. So many of the hotels in Hilton Head are just massive. This hotel is much smaller, close to beach access and just a 10-minute walk to restaurants and shopping. Also, as a single traveler, I always felt safe here. When I return to Hilton Head, I will stay here.

Not a great stay

Got there and they were training a new front desk person, great! Takes 15min to check in, get to our room and our keys don’t work, go back down, get “fixed”, still don’t work, they check with master key - it’s the lock. They go back down for 30min and then they switch us rooms. On 2nd day the key to that room doesn’t work. In new room - get to sleep and the alarm in the next room starts going off from midnight to 7am - tell them about it and it takes them an hour to figure it out. Onto it off they have biscuits at breakfast with no gravy both mornings.

I believe the property is transitioning to a Hilton in the coming week. There was some construction going on and what looked like new furniture coming in. The gym was out of service. The rooms had a dampness and mustiness to them. Although there are humidifiers in the room, you still need to empty them when they’re full. However, with all that said the hotel was very clean and the rooms were spacious and nice.

This properties info and pics are so misleading! Construction was present in the hotel during my stay and was never mentioned. The building is very old but has been partially renovated. The balcony over the pool wasn’t even usable. The sliding doors to the balcony weren’t renewed, therefore a swarm of flying insects entered my room every night. And it was very expensive for nothing!

Upon arrival I was told i didn't have a reservation. However, I prepaid my stay on July 19th thru your app. Instead of completing my check-in process I was told to move over so she could check in other guest. My family and I had driven 6 hours to get to the location. I began calling expedia she completed her check-in of the other guest and called someone else in the back. Apparently they canceled my reservation on their end and gave our room away to someone else.

With a huff she asked how long we were staying and gave us some keys to a room. The next day after returning from the beach we went to use our keys for the room and the door showed yellow. After standing at the front desk for 5 mins with no one working it we were told the battery was going out on the door but she gave me new keys. After getting into the room the water was turned off with no notice to anyone in the hotel with no update on when the water would be turned back on please note my family had just come back from the beach covered in sand and ready for a shower and some rest. Breakfast we subpar a lot of construction was going on in the building on our floor and the main floor. no signs or hey please excuse our mess notices. This is our second time staying here and it will be our last. This is an annual trip for our family but we will use other locations from here on out. When I asked to use my hilton number I was told they were tied to Hilton but all branding said different.

We vacation in this part of HHI every year, and have walked by this property many times. The location is fantastic with easy access to the awesome beach, and a short walk to Colligney which has lots of dining, shopping, etc.

We got a last minute deal for just one night. The hotel is under some construction and were told it is about to become a DoubleTree? by the end of August. The rooms are redone, nicely appointed and clean. Not the Four Seasons, but certainly on par with a Hampton or Courtyard. It looks like the lobby will be very nice once completed. Parking is OK? Not a ton of spots, but enough around the property to find a place.

The staff was pleasant and helpful, but probably due to the transition of brands, not quite as polished and trained as a well managed mainstream brand. That said, they tried and were helpful, I'll take it.

Overall great location and nice enough for the price.

The most overpriced hotel in Hilton Head.

The hotel was just decent. For that price, it should have been EXCELLENT. The customer service did not meet my expectations. The lady at the front desk did not seem like she even wanted to be there. Very rude. There was NO parking at all. We had to pray for a parking space. Also, there weren't any chargers for my Tesla. When we pay this type of price for a hotel room, this needs to be the standard. I will never be staying there again.

Inconvenienced is an understatement

Under lots of construction. Little parking, Breakfast so late in the day and not early enough to get to it. The receptionist were short, unfriendly and unhelpful. They all had such a random rude aggression and attitude. everything was an inconvenience to just be checked in to them. I didn’t even want to go down to let them be aware of the black hairs and pubic hairs in the shower and on the counters. I went through hotels.com and expedias card had been declined at the hotel at the end of my stay so checking out early in the morning i had to pay double the amount for their failed service's. Then the receptionist said i had to call Expedia for a refund but that should be on them because i paid. There was no phone number it was a nightmare to get ahold of anything while traveling no less! This was the utmost sadden experience to end my vacation. And the only good thing was it was at the end of my vacation that i had unexpected payments. Thats so horrible to go through while ten hours away from home and having a planned amount of money to things. Get your stuff together. This is a hospitality business. AND THEN. Hotels.com had the audacity to only want to refund the amount the hotel charged me to be SLY, instead of refunding me what i paid them for their failed services. PUH

Front desk staff didn’t provide exceptional service. Meaning, they did their job, but only when asked. They didn’t give any extra details to help the customer but only provided baseline information forcing the customer to ask follow up questions to answers that were unclear.

We didn’t have hot water the first day. Our shower was lukewarm at best. The maintenance gentleman was condescending and rude. However, to his credit he did later return to fix the hot water issue. We were thankful for that.

The room was nice and clean. The hotel is close in proximity to the beach.

While they are going through some renovations we weren’t affected at all by the progress. Looks like the upgrades will be really nice. Parking and check in was quick and easy and the staff was all friendly and helpful. Rooms were big and spacious and the pool area was nice w/ seemingly new furniture. Breakfast was ok but I imagine the new restaurant will be a huge upgrade. The biggest selling point was proximity to the beach. Little path directly across the street. 5min walk to the beach. Sunrise was great. If you can stand some remodeling don’t hesitate to stay here. Pros far outweigh the cons and the property will be higher end when complete!
