Scene
Boutique hotel with an urban chic design
Unlike other hotels in the area, the City
Loft Hotel has a loft style that blends urban and rural design elements. The lobby is small and bright, with gray flooring, multicolored chairs, beach artwork, and an
orange ceiling. Additional seating can be found in the open-air hallways, which have padded chairs and wood tables as well as potted
plants with white umbrellas. City Java & News, the on-site restaurant/coffeeshop has frosted countertops, tall wooden chairs, and large windows
that allow the space to be filled with natural light. There's also a flat-screen TV and several cozy
seating areas set with gray chairs. Guests with mobility concerns should note that the hotel has no elevators, and the lobby is on the second floor.

Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, the Beaufort Museum, the University of South

Rooms
Modern and comfortable rooms with exceptional bathrooms and upscale perks
Rooms are comfortable and modern, and all come with air-conditioning. Decor varies from room to room but generally includes gray carpets, colorful accent walls, padded headboards, and small, vibrant seating
areas with chairs and tables. Sealy Plush beds with memory-foam tops receive excellent reviews. Lamps have built-in iPod docks and all rooms have mini-fridges with free bottled water. Both bedrooms and bathrooms have wall-mounted flat-screen TVs. Bathrooms are beautiful and contemporary, with
white and brown tile, artwork on the walls, and bright lighting. Frosted-glass sliding doors add to the trendy design as do the glassed-in tile rainfall showers with wood benches. Big white soaking tubs have
chrome fixtures and there are makeup mirrors on the white countertops. BeeKind
toiletries are provided. Most room complaints are related to noise from the hallways, and as the City Loft is a pet-friendly property, barking dogs can be an issue.
