The Beaufort Inn was charming & quaint. The bed was comfortable & the bath towels thick. At check in, the staff gave us a little history of the inn & showed us around the grounds. Set in the middle of the historic section of town, you can’t go wrong.

After our recent stay at The Beaufort Inn I was fully prepared to write a scathing review of the less then stellar accommodations but I first want to fully acknowledge John. I’m not sure if he was a front desk attendant or a manager but if he’s not a manager he should be. When we initially arrived at check in we were greeted by another attendant who took us to a dark, dusty two bedroom suite in what I think is the Fisher Cottage. The first thing I noticed was the musty, stale smell of the room, the worn furniture, filthy fireplace and dirty walls. We tried to ignore these shortcomings acknowledging this is an old property, but historic doesn’t excuse inadequate cleaning. From there our evening went from bad to worst once we discovered the air conditioning was inoperable and room temperature was 80 degrees and rising. In addition to the broken air conditioner the bed frame on the king bed was broken which caused the bed to droop to one side and the numerous area rugs looked as if they hadn’t been shampooed in years. After receiving no response from the 24 hr front desk we packed and fully intended to leave the next morning and find other accommodations. That’s when John showed up. John didn’t just call but he walked over to our suite and immediately apologized for what was a hot and miserable night of no sleep. After speaking briefly John returned within minutes holding the keys to our new room as well as adjusting our entire bill. In closing I must say the new room was

The room was very nice and so clean ! The property is kept up very nicely My only complaint is the new breakfast There were no eggs and not a great variety to choose from They had chicken cutlets which I thought was odd for the breakfast meat and it was about three times the size as the Beaufort biscuits which were different ! Maybe we came on an off day or maybe the breakfast is better on the weekends not sure My husband really wanted some type of eggs even boiled eggs would have been better than no eggs ! Hopefully they will improve the breakfast because we love to stay here for its convenience and the nice rooms !

The Beaufort Inn is a beautiful, boutique style hotel, ideally located in the heart of downtown and close to everything. The staff was friendly, our room was immaculate and the beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay here again. The only reason I give it 4 and not 5 stars is due to the amount of steps to our room (no elevator). There was no mention of this prior to booking, and the pictures of the room led me to believe there would only be a small number of steps leading to the front porch. There were, indeed, 4-5 steps up to the porch, but we were on floor 2 (again, no mention) and there were a good 15-20 additional steps leading up to our room. This may not be a problem for some, but I’m in my 60’s with a bad back and knees. It took multiple trips hauling luggage up and down those steps before we were able to get settled. Having my daughter with me helped tremendously! The room, itself, was gorgeous and roomy, with a lovely little balcony out back for morning coffee. We were also given vouchers for breakfast each morning at either of two local restaurants. It did not cover the entire cost, but a significant chunk of it, and the food at both places was quite good. Those steps were a bear though, and I will now be wiser when making future reservations. Hopefully, those reading this with similar concerns will be better informed too. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay in charming Beaufort!

No more pink

I was so excited to stay here based on the reviews but first and foremost they changed the main house color from pink to white and believe it or not that’s why I booked it because it was so cute and different. Secondly, I have to say the bathroom was very disappointing. There was only a rain showerhead and for some of us that do not wash our hair every day, it was almost impossible to get washed because there was not enough room between the walls and the water pouring out from above you to get cleaned up properly. The toilet took forever to refill. The staff was very nice but extremely disappointed and you changing the color and your bathroom set up.

Good Location, parking so-so, low on amenities

Location is great for downtown however parking can be challenging next door and a long walk depending on where your room is. Room didn’t come with enough towels and they didn’t have any available until the end of our trip. One Keurig maker inside is all they offer. You get vouchers for two restaurants that are worth $10 or $7 each, which they didn’t explain. Room was very far away and was an accessible room, the windows did not have curtains and a lot of light came through. The bathroom tile was dirty as well as the shower, lots of moldy grout. They need to clean/mop the floors. Beds and decor was average and updated enough for us.

Loved it! Stayed with a dog in a balcony suite...near the main bldg/lobby. Being a history buff made the stay that much cooler. Beautiful grounds with fountains, flowers, tabby work and that "je ne sais quoi" ambiance. We walked everywhere we wanted to go in town after parking in a free and safe lot. Vouchers for breakfast were A+...one spot a bagel shop, the other a restaurant. Highly recommend the Beaufort Inn! To quote Schwarzenegger: I'll be back!
