The Emerald Boutique Stays

The Emerald is a very nice boutique hotel in Beaufort, SC. The location was very convenient to the downtown and historic point district. The room was comfortable with good amenities. I suggest adding at least one chair in the room and furniture for the cute outdoor balcony. I booked through Trip Advisor but I had to call to get the facility and room check in code on day of arrival.

Our stay at the Emerald Boutique Hotel was perfect! The location couldn't have been better—close to everything we wanted to see and do in Beaufort. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the check-in process seamless. Communication was excellent, and the hotel was spotless. We’ll definitely be back!

This was a great experience! The beds were amazing; possibly the best nights sleep I’ve gotten as an adult. The self check in process was pretty seamless- the instructions were very clear and worked just as I would have expected. Super clean and convenient location as well! Definitely will be back.

I’m actually blown away by what some of the other guests have mentioned. This was one of my favorite stays in Beaufort and I travel there a lot! I enjoyed the self check in. The front door had its own code and everything felt very secure. The wine bar upstairs was such a lovely touch. The balconies were comfortable and the room was decorated so beautifully! Everything was sparkling clean and it truly felt luxurious. Five stars all the way:

Most comfortable Bed I have ever slept on! Beautifully designed and really appreciated the complimentary coffee bar and bottle water in the lobby. The check in process was easy and staff was very helpful in providing a great local restaurant just a short walk away. Can't wait to go back!

If you are looking for a no frills boutique this may be what you want. When I say NO frills, I mean NONE. There's nobody working onsite so you will not get that breathing down your neck feeling of service. In fact the entire process feels more like you're speaking with AI. They are quick to reply to a text with little to no effort or effectiveness but thats all part of the fun. Upon entering you are first greeted with an unlocked front door. Security must not be an issue here. Our room was small and lacked a working coffee maker, or microwave (plug by microwave didn't work). The Coffeemaker in lobby was just a few feet away but there were no cups and that too didn't work. The requested terrace didn't have chairs but our AI service suggested a folding one in storage closet that didn't exist. What did exist were someone's hair on our towels and a few of the smallest most adorable shampoo bottles one can imagine. The complex comes with free bikes to tour the island but after going back and forth with a non human over text for a few hours, we reserved two fro an afternoon. Those two bikes were not there so the AI replier gave us two move but those were broken. So I would suggest bringing your own bikes. If you are considering camping in a tent but want better location, The Emerald nails it. If you want any sense of where your money is going, I'd suggest pretty much anywhere else. Including a tent in a lesser good location.
