The Emerald Boutique Stays

What guests think

The Emerald Boutique Stays offers clean, modern rooms in a highly walkable downtown location, with many guests praising comfortable beds and strong showers, while some mention compact layouts, thin walls, and intermittent noise or light from streets and neighboring rooms.

The property runs a contactless model with keycode entry and remote support by text, which most find smooth though a few miss on-site staff or encountered code emails in spam and rigid early check-in times. Perks frequently cited include complimentary wine, lobby coffee and bottled water, a guest supply closet, on-site parking, and in some cases free bikes. A small number of reviews note issues such as an untidy entrance, a mildew smell in hallways, or isolated maintenance problems like a misaligned balcony door. Overall, expect a streamlined, self-service stay with modern comforts.

It was nice to be able to check in with a code. The room was comfortable and having the water and guest closet available was a nice touch. Easily walkable to downtown and USCB.

Very nice accommodations... Especially like the little touches including robes, wine, etc. The location is perfect or one can walk everywhere around town. Parking is at the doorstep.... Easy access to the building as well as the room. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again

This is an excellent choice in downtown Beaufort, and we’ll stay here again. Having an included bike rental is a real perk. We enjoyed biking around town and the Spanish Moss Trail. Walkable to all restaurants and shopping, but quiet.

My wife and I stayed here while celebrating our Anniversary. This was a nice property very close to shopping & dining options. It was quiet and in a good area. There was parking onsite. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. My only con with the room was the lack of USB chargers. The idea of no staff in the building was very interesting but it worked out great. They have bottled water for guests in the lobby in a refrigerator and coffee and tea. They also have a “guest closet” that has extra toiletries and other things you might need during your stay such as an ironing board or extra hangers or a first aid kit. This was a nice touch. They also had bicycles for use by guests. I would stay here again.

The Emerald Boutique is an average hotel that is trying too hard to appear upscale. The fixtures and furniture are budget, and the room is incredibly small. The room itself was quite clean, though the lobby area and hallways smelled horribly of mildew and mold. One of the room’s windows was severely cracked. Barn doors, however aesthetically pleasing, don’t belong on bathroom entryways. Room #9’s bathroom barn door was especially frustrating and refused to stay closed. The location and proximity to Bay St. was fantastic and would have justified tolerating The Emerald’s more disappointing factors if it hadn’t been for the unsupportive mattress that left us missing our Saatva, and nursing achy backs. Bottom line: The Emerald left a lot to be desired. 😕

Overall, we did not have a great experience. When it was time to go to bed, we found our sheets were ripped and there were stains on our pillows. Moreover, we were not able to sleep due to the noise above us. The walls were very thin. We booked this property because it was in a small quiet area and there was a two person max per room so we assumed there would be no noise. At night, the individuals above us were very loud. We assume they were having a party as we heard loud music and stomping until 2am. We contacted the number available and they notified them multiple times or the noise but it was an ongoing issue all night which made our stay unpleasant. They responded in a timely manner which was great but overall it was disappointing that we were not able to get a decent amount of rest. The location is nice and the room was as well but I think it would be best if they had someone on sight to troubleshoot instead of calling.

I liked the private access using codes. Our unit was next to the road and we had a lot of truck noise, plus the curtains allowed in way to much light. There was no seating in the room and no place to put on make up.

Great location and easy walk to downtown. We would have given the property 5 stars except for the following two things. 1) Door to balcony wouldnt shut properly and let in air and light. 2) the floors creak and could hear the folks above us everytime they moved. Other than that room was nice, clean and had all the amenities. No front desk but no need for one.

We were very surprised but in a good way. The room was small, but because of the high ceilings and the types of furniture used it was cozy instead of claustrophobic. The shower and bathroom were above quality for this type of room. The fridge and bar area was just right. We only came one night, but our next stay will be longer.

Liked the room and bathroom even though there was only one small soap bar.Comfortable bed. Check-in was very frustrating requiring us to call the emergency no. which cost me $15. Also we weren't able to fathom the TV. Not familiar with Roku and there was no one to ask except other guests who told us they too had frustrations with TV.

The room was modern historic. Loved the tiled bathroom. The balcony was unusable due to the 3 different wasp nests in each corner. The thermostat does not change the temperature of the ac unit and we couldn't figure out howtochangeiton the wall unit. Check-in was easy via a code texted to your phone. I requested to check in earlier than 4pm and was told that they would text me if the room was serviced earlier. Ww arrived at 2 and waited in the common lobby area, but never saw housekeeping and had to wait until precisely 4pm for the room code to work. Easily walkable to restaurants and shopping.

When I made my reservation, I didn’t realize this was a self-service property. I had to reach out to the remote phone number twice, once for a special accommodation and second for my own ignorance. Both times my phone call was answered promptly and Richard was accommodating and gracious. When we arrived we were greeted by the very kind housekeeping staff. Lovely property and a lovely trip. No fuss and no waiting. Highly recommend.
