Our stay in Beaufort was for Marine Graduation. We wanted to be very close to Parris Island without being on the island. It is very convenient to fast food, Walmart and Publix which is a plus. The operators of Sleep Inn are very helpful, gracious, courteous and pleasant. They allowed us to fill our coolers with ice on the first floor because the vending on the second floor was non functional, but the elevator is located almost next to it which is convenient. Use only the elevator because the stairwells are not clean. When you use the elevator it must be cleaned twice daily because I noticed no bad smells which can happen in motel elevators. If you're staying there to be close to the island, they place the newspapers in the lobby at no charge. Be aware, during our stay there were also construction crews staying there as well and the workers tend to gather outside during the evening and hang out in groups. This location of Sleep Inn NEEDS a full time landscape/yard guy. The outside is very littered and it's not just from it's location with heavy traffic, it's also the rear of the building and the sides of the building littered with trash, cigarette butts, beer and soda bottles and cans. The pool is mostly for children as it's depth is 4 1/2 and 3 feet deep and very small. It looked clean when I ventured out to see, but didn't linger long as there was some guy asleep next to the door for the pool. The sign read pool closed so that was that. The room was clean no tub
