The 156-room, mid-range Park Lane Hotel and Suites is situated right off busy William Hilton Parkway, the main drag in Hilton Head. Though the property doesn’t have direct beach access, plenty of beaches, golf courses, shops, and restaurants are within a 10-minute drive. Rooms are spacious -- all are suites -- but dated, showing signs of wear-and-tear. Still they're clean, and have full kitchens, as well as flat-screen TVs with HBO, free Wi-Fi, and private balconies. The property also has a serene outdoor pool and whirlpool, lit tennis courts, a small fitness center, and a business center. A free continental breakfast is served daily, and free Starbucks coffee and tea is available 24 hours. Travelers seeking a hotel by the beach can try The Beach House Resort, which also has a more updated look and an on-site bar and restaurant, but rates tend to be higher.

Scene
Casual resort hotel with a traditional Southern ambience
While the Park Lane Hotel & Suites may not be the newest kid on the Hilton Head block, this independently run property prides itself on its welcoming Southern charm and relaxed resort ambience. The hotel occupies several cream-colored buildings with white trim, green accents, and slate roofs, and is surrounded by magnolia trees and Spanish moss. The outdoor pool area is serene, with a terraced deck and cushioned seating, while the backyard features old pine trees and Adirondack chairs set around horseshoe pits and picnic tables. Near the breakfast area, a tidy coffee area serves free Starbucks coffee and Tazo tea under the warm glow of pendant lights. Snacks are put out for guests in the afternoons. The property draws mostly families and couples during the peak summer months, with golfers visiting more frequently in the spring and fall. The hotel should appeal most to travelers seeking a traditional, Southern ambience.
Location
Conveniently located within easy driving distance of beaches, wildlife parks, restaurants, golf courses, and shopping

There are a few restaurants within walking distance. With its easy access to the main road, the location is convenient, although it's not on the beach. Coligny Beach, a six-minute drive from the hotel, is the closest. The hotel can arrange for bike rentals for guests who would like to cycle to the beach. Several golf courses, wildlife parks, restaurants, and shopping areas are within easy driving distance from the hotel.
