Hotel Carolina A Days Inn By Wyndham (Hilton Head Island, USA)

The airport is only a few minutes' drive away and there's also a free shuttle service which is excellent and reliable.

The hotel generally and rooms in particular are noticeably clean and well maintained. Cheerful and helpful staff add to the pleasurable experience of staying here. There's a good atmosphere around the pool which attracts members of the public as well as hotel guests.

Staff here are happy to direct you to eateries of your taste and budget choice. The hotel is so conveniently placed that you don't need transport, just walk to restaurants, shops and even the beach; just 1.4 miles away. Breakfast is a pleasant surprise with which to start the day. Well presented and prepared, there are more choices than you might reasonably expect.

Beds are old and hard, so sleep is out of the question. Also the TV is on the 'blink' and unreliable.

The real plus at this hotel is the central location in an attractive island setting. The hotel, itself, doesn't match the tariffs charged and is considerably over priced. There's that damp, musty smell throughout, something that isn't unfamiliar to regular hotel visitors. Towels, bed linen etc; are very cheap; unlike the tariff.

Air conditioning doesn't work in the corridors and elevator and room lights don't work due to lack of replacement light bulbs. There's also a noise problem from neighboring rooms and from the floors above.
