Top hotels in Historic Downtown
Best Western Sea Island Inn
The location of this hotel is great, very walkable to all the shops and restaurants of Beaufort, also many of the historic sites. Breakfast is great and the pool was very nice. Daily service in the room is not offered unless requested which was fine for me, but we did have to request wash clothes ...
