City Loft Hotel

A clean, minimalist surprise on Bay Street — white walls, modern lines, and a pared-back aesthetic that feels almost startling in antebellum Beaufort. It's affordable, central, and unfussy, with a little gym and 24-hour coffee. Don't come for period charm; come for a crisp, budget-friendly room in the middle of downtown when you'd rather spend your money on the shrimp boats and oyster roasts than the linens.
