"A last-minute change of itinerary brought my daughter and me to the Isle of Palms and to this hotel. The location of the hotel was perfect- right on the beach. It was easy, though somewhat expensive, to get chairs and an umbrella (from a company independent of the hotel), and the beach was clean. The staff was courteous, the room was clean, and it was nice to have breakfast available before setting out for the beach. On the downside, the hotel was more basic than I anticipated and the walls were very thin, so I was kept up late by a conversation in the next room. The area itself is nice, but there was very little to do and a lack of nearby options for something as simple as a snack (thank goodness for the hotel’s vending machines!). Not knowing anything about the area before booking, perhaps this is commonly known, or maybe we missed an area that has “more” going on. With all that said, we did enjoy ourselves. It was also kind of nice that the whole island wasn’t built up with lots of hotels. The walk down the beach was very pretty, so the lots of cool houses to see. Lastly, if you don’t mind a quick drive or a longer walk, Jeff’s Bagel Run has amazing bagels! We also enjoyed coffee from Cafe Paname."
