I stayed at the Hampton Inn Hilton Head during September 2007 for my very first time in Hilton Head. I booked this hotel the prior night before our stay, we only stayed there one night actually.
First thing my and my boyfriend did when we got to Hilton Head was to stop by the welcome center. They are very helpful and you will get alot of information, coupons, and maps from there. We asked the attendent where would be good for lunch and she suggested the salty dog cafe which was really good! Then we stop by the beach but realized we were unprepared for it. We resorted by going to the shop and buying towels to sit on. BTW, remember to bring chairs, towels, or whatever you can sit on because they are no beach chairs for use. Headed to our hotel to check-in before 4 pm, the hotel is not really near the beach, you have to drive to get there...farther than I would have like to have been from it. Check in was easy. We got into our room and situated ourselves, lounged around and got ready for dinner. Mind you I'm not an extremely hard peson to please but there were minor problems. Frist off, they put us right across the laundry room and there was always loud noises like someone was fixing something or people banging the doors coming in and out. The room was on the smaller side but the king bed was huge and extremely comfortable so I was content. There was a fridge and coffee maker which was convienent. The bathroom was very smelly though, it smelled of dampness or one of the public beach bathrooms.
Overall, it was okay for a one night stay but I might not come back when I head into Hilton Head again. Good for the price I guess, booked it for about $100....but I would like to be in a hotel that was on the beach, beachfront it is not.
