My husband and I spent 3 nights and 4 days at this Comfort Inn on a vacation package through Festiva - time share presentation. The room was very clean, including the bathroom. The fridge and microwave were also clean and appeared to be new. The flat screen tv was great. Beds were comfortable. Although the room was not large, it was roomy. All of this, especially the cleanliness, is very important to us. It is an older hotel but in a great location - within a short walking distance to Coligny Beach, shops, and restaurants. We had to call the front desk twice - once for a noise complaint and once for maintenance. Problems were resolved immediately. Everyone was friendly. We were on the first floor which was not the ground floor. We had a very nice view of the pond with its alligator, turtles, white crane, and lovely natural area. We also visited the Pickney Wildlife Refuge, rented bikes to ride on the beach and around the island, and took a dolphin cruise. Very nice affordable vacation. « less

Dirty carpet. Yes, you can always keep your shoes on. But, an overpriced rate at 10:30pm to sleep and get up early, eat breakfast, $149? Ick! I swear to this--cardboard breakfast. Nothing was of quality. It was the cheapest of the cheap. My background is foodservice. They didn't even try to make it edible. Please don't stay here. There's so many other places to stay for less and cheap breakfasts to go out for. Besides, you have to walk quite a ways or drive to eat. Ick! « less

This is the second time we have used this hotel and we were surprised by how much it has deteriated in 12 months but it was still okone problem was when we went to check in they said our room was not ready and we had to go back in two hours but it still was not ready and had to wait another hour which was really unexceptable,We were on the top floor overlooking the trees and the pond with turtles and an alligator that I nicknamed Alli after my brother in law,The room had a coffee maker and a fridge so this was good the breakfast is good even though you have a couple of minutes walk down the street to go for it but if you are desperate for a drink and something to eat coffee and danish are suplied in the lobby area of the room building overall a good stay with only a 5 minute walk to Coligny Beach,I dont understand the bad reviews that this hotel gets yes it could do with renovation but try the other hotels that are as close to a wonderful beach as this is and you will pay double the price so stop moaning « less

I want to Thank you for your honest review. I would like to inform you that we are doing some renovations this spring and fall which I feel will put a new light on this property, New Bedding Package for one which I have already been getting some wonderful comments on. I do hope that you come back and see the changes when we get them complete. Again I want to Thank you for your review. Yes, we have our challenges with the 2 seperate buildings and some of our guests really love it and some well not so much. I am glad that you chose to stay with us and had returned and hope to see you again in the future.

Outdated and overpriced for what you get! Great location w easy access to beach and Sea Pines area. Old fashioned rooms, noisy due to open air building which is located about .25 mile from main building where you check in and go to for breakfast. Coffee was made available in the first poor of the building with the rooms but it was gone before 8am and not replenished. I would not recommend this Motel! « less

This hotel was a dissapointment. I shouldn't have expected much, looking at it online before I went. It didn't seem like a nice hotel. And it wasn't. The layout was very odd...with the lobby in a small building and the rooms in a few different buildings down the road, spaced out... The outside/lobby of our building/elevators/hallways were not very clean and not appealing to look at. The windows in the elevators were nasty and the whole building had an unpleasant smell. The room was ok, and it was nice that there was a microwave and fridge, but again, nothing nice to look at. Everything was so outdated. They need to remodel the whole property.When the maid came to clean the room, she took our dirty towels but didn't replace them with new, clean towels. Also, we were not told when the complimentary breakfast ended (at check-in) and we didn't think to ask because at most hotel sit it ends at 11. We got there at like 10:10 and the lady running the breakfast was cleaning up. We asked if she would let us make a waffle and she said no. She easily could have... She was not friendly or helpful at all. That was the only thing good about the breakfast, the rest looked like it left a lot to be desired... and the coffee which we were able to obtain, was HORRIBLE. The only good thing about this hotel is that it is a short walk to the the nice Coligny Beach, but if you have a little more money to spend, I strongly recommend spending it at a nicer hotel...this was only a two star hotel (really a motel) and you can easily see why. The mangement needs to spend money to fix things around the property and make it look a little more presentable, if they aren't going to renovate and update, which is greatly needed. The standards at this hotel are clearly low. « less

I am sorry to hear your stay was Disappointing, I would like you to know that we are set to have some work done in the building that will brighten things up but unfortuanately not until the fall when things slow up and we have the time and room to work. I would like to get some additional information from you so that I may find out and address the towel situation and address the breakfast hours. I was pleased to hear that we were able to accomodate your request for the King Room. Please contact me directly so that I may address this in a more suitable manner.
Thank you,

Testimonials: Why use Hotel Planner?
"I am SO IMPRESSED with your service! I'm just getting started planning our conference for next year. What a gift to find a site through which I can screen multiple bids, without contacting multiple hotels individually. Plus I would never have thought to contact many that we are getting bids from! And all the booking can be done through your site? And you'll help with every possible need? What a God-send!" J.M. - Dallas, TX
"Very impressed with the quick reply. Will recommend this site to fellow planners!!" M.M. - Camden, NJ
