America's Best Inn and Suites Beaufort

America's Best Inn and Suites Beaufort

8/10 Good
"It was a cheap place to stay. The room wasn't very clean. The toilet looked like it had been broken and glued back together and the glue molded. The toilet seat was worn and didn't look clean. The beds were small; just double. The TV remote had dead batteries in it. The staff were Indonesian and weren't very friendly. The air conditioner and water worked well,"
