Inlet Inn

We are living on our boat, Safari, for the winter in Beaufort. Then a winter storm, the worst in decades rolled in, things got real very fast. Before it hit, I called the Inlet Inn and spoke with Sara to explain our situation and asked if a last-minute room might be possible if conditions worsened. She couldn’t have been more gracious or accommodating. As the snow kept falling and our heaters struggled to keep up, we made the call and Sara told us to come on over. From that moment on, everything was easy. Check-in was seamless, they stocked our room with firewood for the fireplace, asked if we needed anything else, and took our breakfast order to be delivered the next morning. The room itself was charming and surprisingly spacious, with a king-size bed, refrigerator, comfortable seating

The most accommodating and friendly staff I’ve seen in a while. Due to the hotel having work done on the roof, we were upgraded to a very nice waterfront room. Rooms are nicely decorated, comfy beds, plenty of lovely thick towels and a great view of the marina and the waterfront from the spacious balcony. The free continental breakfast is a delicious way to start each day! Walking distance to some of the best restaurants in Beaufort and to Coffee and Cocktails for a delicious Siren! You can’t go wrong at the Inlet Inn. We’re already planning to make this an annual trip.

I travel a lot and always stay here when I come to NC. This place is a true gem and definitely in the top 5 best places I’ve ever stayed. It’s very clean. I was placed in a room that I loved but had some hot water issues ( laundry). I was immediately moved and upgraded to a room facing the water. Victoria was wonderful and recommended activities to do on a rainy day. You feel truly welcomed here. I did check out the other hotel in the area when I picked up my food that I ordered to go. While it is stunning inside, it does not have a welcoming feeling. In fact, I waited awhile before someone even greeted me. I love the Inlet Inn and I would never stay anywhere else.

Evicted from the room due to a miscommunication about checkout dates. The point of contact at the hotel utilized a phone number not associated with the reservation (confirmed through booking) to make contact, then used the lack of contact as justification for packing our belongings and leaving them on the floor in the office. At a future date, when attempting to get an invoice for the stay, the respondent was argumentative and unsupportive. I was told to get my receipt through the website instead of the hotel WHO PROCESSED THE CHARGE. This has been the absolute worst customer service received from a hotel during business travel. Do yourself a favor and stay at one of the any other hotels nearby. Nothing about this location justifies the attitude received from the front desk attendant.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Inlet Inn. It’s a charming, quiet spot right on the water in the heart of the historic district. The highlight was definitely the private balcony—there’s nothing better than watching the boats go by with a morning coffee. The rooms are cozy and clean, the staff is incredibly welcoming, and you can walk to every shop and restaurant in town. If you want a peaceful, authentic stay with the best views in the area, this is the place. We’ll definitely be back!
