We've been to Beaufort several times in the past but have always stayed in B&B's. Decided to try the Beaufort Hotel based on recommendations and we were glad we did. Like most reviews, the staff was excellent, the rooms were upscale, comfortable and clean (save for the one dead roach belly-up in the middle of the floor) on entry, and the views from the rooms along the waterway were outstanding. The restaurant, 34N, was beautiful, with stunning views of the Rachel Carson Nature Preserve across the waterway. Our meals were outstanding (best shrimp and grits I've had in a restaurant) and our server Shannon was the best! Attentive, efficient, and answered all of our local questions. She was so good that we would ask to be seated in her station next time. My only gripe is the valet service. While it's not mandatory, the Hotel says you either use the service or you can park your car 200 yds off the site. So here's my gripe: The Valet Parking is $15/day. If you want your car multiple times during the day to venture around, you have to call the valet service and have it retrieved. Although the lot is next door to the Hotel on an old parking lot that's the size of a football field. The free shuttle is great, until it's not. The last night of our stay, we scheduled the shuttle at 3pm for a 6pm departure into town for dinner. The advertised end of service was 10p so we had plenty of time for a stroll and dinner. Except when we loaded up to leave for town, the driver told us they were short help but they would have one of the maintenance people come pick us up "as long as you can get back by 7:30-8:00p since that was the end of their shift". Definitely shortened our dinner evening and added a little stress to an otherwise enjoyable night. Finally, we planned an early departure next day so I notified the front desk we would need the Valet service to bring our car around about 6:30a. She said that would be fine since they come on service at 6:00am. At 6:20a we were at the front of the hotel ready to leave, when the desk clerk notified me that the morning valet had not arrived yet. She retrieved my key and gave me instructions how to walk to the lot. We loaded up and were on our way. A humorous note; the valet service is automated in that you receive notifications by text regarding status of your requests. About 10 miles down the road we received an update that the valet was "hustling to retrieve our car and would we like to have a tip added to our bill?" Hmmm.......
