Top Shelter Cove Hotel Reviews

Palmera Inn and Suites

8/10 Good

"We had a wonderful stay. I only have two small comments to make. One, the door to the building never seem to be locked. It was not closed all the way, so the locking mechanism didn’t work. I am a big advocate of safety and this was concerning to me. Number two, there’s no place to hang your towel where you can easily reach it from the shower. A small hook on the wall between the door and the shower would be very helpful. Otherwise, it was great and we plan to return at some point."

Hampton Inn Hilton Head

8/10 Good

"Let me start by saying the front desk staff were very helpful and professional. This location is in Hilton Head, SC. High visibility, high volume location. This location is showing signs of wear. Overdue for updating. The housekeeping contract / performance needs to be reviewed for compliance. Whoever is in charge of making sure the facility is kept clean is not doing their job. Elevator walls, glass doors, surfaces all need to be wiped/cleaned daily. Rugs need to be steam cleaned both inside rooms and out in common areas. Landscaping contractor is not being held accountable to Hilton standards. Overall, grade = C+….wont stay there again or until this location gets some needed attention."

Holiday Inn Express Hilton Head Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I really loved my stay here. The location was definitely the best part. It was an easy walk to the beach, as well as plenty of restaurants and shops, which made it really convenient to explore the area without having to drive everywhere. The walk to the beach was much easier than I expected, and I loved being so close to everything around Coligny. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and a great home base for my short stay in Hilton Head. If you're visiting Hilton Head and want to be within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and shopping, I would definitely recommend this location. It made my stay easy and enjoyable, especially as a solo traveler."
