Independent hotels in Bluffton, South Carolina

"Great"

"Loved it! Beautiful hotel with a ton of great amenities. The property was clean and well maintained. Lots of good food and drink options on site and easy beach access. Good location - it’s tucked back but close enough to get to a couple of coffee shops, restaurants, etc on bikes. Would gladly stay again!"

"Charming historical hotel in the very best location. Happy hour every afternoon, very nice staff. Highly recommended"

"Great location, everything in walking distance. Beach and bar perfect location on grounds. Staff so friendly and helpful. We will be back again!"

"Please use the Google link to see my Google review for this property since Expedia will not allow me to post enough words to describe what happened. It was an absolute nightmare staying here. The rooms are tiny, dated and unkept. There was a substance that looked like black mold in my room. The room was unbearably hot since the heat didn’t work. Pictures are in the Google review for back up. https://maps.app.goo.gl/GaVtj7s3U6uvdL2n7?g_st=ic "

"The pool was enjoyable. Did not like that you had to rent beach chairs for $18 single chair-$46(double beach chairs and umbrella) every day! At check-in you pay extra for resort amenities so I was confused when I had to pay extra to relax on Hilton’s beach property. "

"We’ve stayed here many times in the past, but this was the first time since Covid. It’s still a beautiful hotel and they said by next summer, they will have even more amenities. The staff is always wonderful. This year, I noticed paint peeling, faded furniture, stains on carpet, etc. Seems like they’re overdue for some touchups, but hopefully that’s all included with their updates they’re expecting by next summer. The only dissatisfaction I had was the loud DJ during the day. It was impossible to sit on the balcony and relax. Even with the door balcony door closed, it was too loud to relax or watch tv without being able to hear it. We were on 3rd floor on the far opposite side of where the DJ was. Can’t imagine how challenging it was for guests that were even closer. They did turn it down a bit when asked, but it was blaring from I think 10am-4pm, which is a long time to not be able to enjoy the room. The first day we went to the beach to get away from it. The background music is nice by the pool, just way too loud. The live music in the evening was at a much better volume and more calm, so we could barely hear on balcony and couldn’t hear it with glass door closed. Otherwise, as always, we loved our stay. I’m sure we’ll be back again. It’s still one of our favorite hotels."

"Room was in need of a deep cleaning. No breakfast available (they let us know in advance) $30 a day to park."

"Excellent location. Can walk to restaurants and the beach. Large, spacious rooms, great beds, great pool area! "
