Beaufort Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely historical Inn that has many beautiful courtyards and flowers. We were in one of the outer buildings on the 2nd story that had a lot of stairs, so be careful if this is an issue for you (the main building does have an elevator). But, despite the heat and humidity, we enjoyed our little balcony overlooking a courtyard and two water features. They offer a decent breakfast, but we thought it was a great location close to several fun places for breakfast, and downtown shopping. The buildings are older, so keep that in mind, but we found it much more charming than a modern motel."
