I enjoyed my stay here. Ellie was a particular stand-out with the staff...just wonderful. Only 2 complaints. Parking for people with disabilities is minimal and while rooms have balconies, there are no options for sitting out there.

The staff was accommodating and friendly. The location is unbeatable for the area and the hotel itself is nice. Only a couple of small issues but not deal breakers. The balcony’s are too small for tables and chairs and the service at the restaurant was slow due to being understaffed I’m guessing. Overall probably the best place to stay on Folly Beach.

The staff was lovely. When we found the bed saggy, the staff helped us make it firmer. The beach was long & fun to walk but the ocean was hard to swim in. It was shallow way out and the waves were rough. We were quite disappointed by the hotel restaurant. The meals were not only bland, they bothered our stomachs. Luckily there were lots of other restaurants within walking distance.

Lobby is beautiful! Can’t beat the beachfront location. Fun beach bar. Loved that parking was included. Rooms need some TLC. We were charged $30 to sit on beach chairs for the day. We’d assumed a beachfront hotel would provide their guests with beach chairs; quite a shock.

Not the greatest for the money

Hotel was old and needed updating. Phone charger stations in my room didn’t work. Balcony was so small you couldn’t fit a chair on it to sit down. No smoking allowed on balcony even with door to room closed. $350.00 fine. Very overpriced at $250.00 a night. early check out required a forfeiture of one nights room fee.

The staff was amazing, every single one was so friendly and helpful, addressed any request immediately! The coffee shop was great, and the restaurant was wonderful. My only disappointment was that you had to purchase a chair on the beach, I realize that the chairs were managed by another company. It would be nice if there could be so sort of collaboration with the hotel for guest. Otherwise, it is a great place to stay!

Price was too high. Did not have a microwave or chairs for the deck in the room. Turns out that we could have asked for these. The chairs we figured out on our own and the microwave we were told about when we checked out and complained about it. This should be offered. Plus, at this price point there should be free breakfast since the units do not have kitchens - they have a restaurant on site that could handle this.
