Beaufort's inns offer a direct line to the Lowcountry's layered history, from the waterfront vantage of The Beaufort Inn-where the 84-guest-score property sits steps from fine dining and the Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park-to the art-filled corridors of 607 Bay Inn Downtown Beaufort, an adults-only retreat an 86-guest-score hideaway near the Beaufort Art Association. Anchorage 1770 delivers a garden-to-table ethos with its traditional seafood restaurant and free bicycle hire, while Sleep Inn Beaufort Near Mcas provides a practical base near Naval Hospital-Beaufort with an outdoor pool and free parking. For travelers anchoring a road trip, Quality Inn At Town Center offers a budget-friendly central position.
Rates generally range from $120 for standard rooms at the Sleep Inn to $300+ for premium suites at The Beaufort Inn, with the historic downtown district concentrating most stays near the waterfront and Tabernacle Baptist Church. Come in spring or fall to balance sunny days with cooler evenings. The Beaufort Inn's concierge can arrange Sea Island bike tours, and on-site parking is free at most properties-a notable perk in a town where street parking fills quickly. Breakfast is included at all five properties, though the quality varies from the continental spread at Quality Inn to the a la carte options at Anchorage 1770, where the in-house seafood brunch is worth planning around.
