    Wow! Magnolia Café was exactly what we needed in Beaufort. After a disappointing hotel stay, this place totally saved our morning. The staff was incredibly friendly, and we were seated after just a short wait. The café has a cozy, welcoming vibe and a beautiful view of the marsh--such a perfect setting for breakfast. The food was delicious. I loved the Greek yogurt bowl, the sourdough toast was perfectly tangy, and my vanilla latte with almond milk was so good. My husband's breakfast platter was a hit too. An absolute must-visit for breakfast or lunch. Open weekends 9-2. Don't skip this spot--you'll be glad you didn't!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Loved this cute little bakery, cafe, brunch spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]You can get a view of the waterways of SC from the cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I had a seasonal lucky charms latte, and an Italian sub with pasta salad. The servers were sweet and took care of me quickly even though they were quite busy! I just had to take a cupcake home. Definitely visit!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decent brunch spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food and drinks were good, our party of 6+ did have a few issues with our orders. Even after we paid and were getting ready to go, another server tried to bring us our substitutions and sides that we requested 40mins prior. Golden milk tea was an interesting try. Felt healthy and warming. Great drink once the weather drops below 70. Be wary of a yellow lip while sipping.

    The cutest brunch spot! They have so many yummy pastries and brunch items to choose from. We really enjoyed the Ruben and avocado toast! The service was pretty quick and the inside was very cutesy with indoor and outdoor seating available. Would recommend!

    10/10 recommend the French toast latte. This cafe is so cute. I've been multiple times and have yet to be disappointed with the service and food - it's all great Check out videos at @lexgeteating

    Not the worst view

    This is apparently an old place revitalized under new ownership. The fundamentals are there, with a fantastic space that looks out towards the water with indoor and outdoor seating. Despite the nice weather, I might have elected to sit inside had I anticipated the stinging caterpillars hanging around; not that it's the restaurant's fault as I saw them in other locales as well. Fortunately, I did not get stung, but someone nearby me did have a minor encounter. The place has lots of seating options, so just choose wisely. I was glad to learn that this is the sort of place that offers both its breakfast and lunch menu at the same time, and which has several notably different vegetarian selections that are worth choosing from. Despite pondering a tofu-based breakfast bowl, I was nonetheless tempted by a waffle, which arrived with a lightly chai-flavored cream as well as syrup and some fresh fruit. It was very nice. Ordering a tea got me a pot and a good quality bagged tea. They had a pastry selection as I wandered out, but I didn't need any more. Still, worth pondering for the future.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere made me feel fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was very fast. And the cookie was amazing! Shoutout to Anna!

    So cute! And the view!
    Melissa G.

    Delicious! This place was such a wonderful surprise. It's across from the water and away from the busier section of Beaufort. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and both are lovely. The selection of food was impressive and the quality and taste was delicious! We loved this place!

    Traditional inn in a pretty pink house with rooms decorated with old fashioned wardrobes and…read moreflowery wallpaper. Bed rather soft and bouncy which is always an issue with older lodgings. The place can use some updating and they seem to be doing that - part of the house is under construction looking like a new deck in the works and at night also work being done to the lobby. The room we booked is a "courtyard queen studio" which has the following description on the website - "Our Courtyard Queen Studio guest rooms are ideal for business or solo travelers. These rooms feature queen beds and stand-up showers. The upper-floor studios have private verandas that overlook the semi-private Lower Courtyard, and the ground studios have lovely front patios and gardens adjacent". However our room doesn't seem to match much of the description other than it has one queen bed, as the bathroom has a small tub, and we are on the second floor but no veranda (maybe second floor is not "upper floor"?). Anyway also not sure why they are called "studios" since it's just one standard room. Anyway other than that our overall stay is comfortable enough - the ceiling fan is a good feature. Breakfast is a bit of an issue however. The inn doesn't provide breakfast so you are given a voucher to have breakfast at one of two nearby cafes. Each voucher basically only subsidizes your breakfast by $7 or $10 respectively which is not enough to include coffee or tea and depending on what food you order will not cover the full amount of that either. That came as a surprise and is not what I'd expected when breakfast is supposed to be included. I don't mind going somewhere else for breakfast but the voucher should cover a set menu that includes at the very least breakfast food and beverages.

    Dirty rooms with mold. No privacy. FALSE advertising…read more The photos of the rooms are beyond misleading. Privacy is non-existent. You can hear through the walls. Almost all of rooms are just modified duplexes/apartment buildings with shared entryways and balconies. We booked one room for almost $500 a night for a romantic evening and they tried to put us in a cheaper room thinking we would not notice. It was damp, moldy and I found a bug in the room. Once I complained that it did not match our reservation, they suddenly told us about an alleged A/C issue and tried to put us in a "better room". The furniture was damaged and the shower was moldy in that room and in NO way was this comparable to the reservation we made a month prior. Park passes, breakfast and bicycle rentals are "complimentary" but yet they charge you $18 a day resort fee to have access. I do not recommend staying here at all.

Tiffany, the manager on duty, was pleasant during check-in; however, it was a bit odd to see her wearing a Taco Bell jacket behind the front desk, which didn't feel very professional. Our room was spacious, but unfortunately the bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was very high, sagged in the middle, and felt almost like sleeping in a hammock. We were woken up multiple times throughout the night because of it. Housekeeping also missed the mark--there were only two bath towels in the bathroom, nothing else. The tissue box was empty except for the decorative tissue "flower," and the towel holder was broken off the wall. The common areas were also lacking. The guest laundry was out of order. One of the two elevators - out of order. The lobby had two empty refrigerators and an empty snack shelf that appeared to be intended for guest purchases. Despite signage stating the hotel is 100% smoke-free, the third-floor hallway smelled of cigarettes. While picking up extra towels, another guest opened their door and a heavy cloud of marijuana smoke poured out--so much for smoke-free. I usually love spreading positivity on Yelp, but it's hard to find many positive things to say about this stay. Overall, it was disappointing and not what I expect from a Holiday Inn. We won't stay there again.

But, in my opinion as a world traveler, its major shortcoming is the lack of easily accessible public transportation for sightseeing, dining, and shopping purposes. Somehow, that didn't show up in its rave reviews by national magazines, and online tourism rating sites. Although it may take a few minutes longer than expected for its drivers to show up--due to high demand, Beaufort Cab Company provides reliable and courteous service in a popular tourist destination with few transportation options. Beaufort Cab drivers like Allison are both very friendly and knowledgeable about the best entertainment and dining venues, and pointed out interesting historical sites during our rides. It was almost like getting a free mini-tour! It's a great company to do business with. So, they've earned a 5-star rating from me and my family. Theodore J. Williams, III
