    When I went to sign in the lady in the front desk made me aware that they don’t accept even though when I requested the booking I submitted I was traveling with two small dogs. When I made the I requested pet friendly. She also told me that the area hotel didn’t accept pets yet the Hyatt accepted pets and it was next to them. I feel that I should get at least half of my money since I was not at fault and I did put it in my remarks. That I was traveling so out of courtesy they should have called me.

    Location was perfect for walking 10 minutes into the center of Daniel Island - we walked to dinner and it was beautiful. The bed was extremely comfortable and we slept like a baby. I loved that the hotel is pet friendly - we were really made to feel like our dog was welcome, rather than an inconvenience. Breakfast was delicious both mornings, parking was ample and shared with the Home2 next door.

    They are dog-friendly! There is just a $20/night pet fee. The location is very convenient, just around the highway. There is a gas station beside the inn. Short drive to beaches and downtown. I also liked their mattress and pillow, very firm yet soft. We were able to sleep comfortably. Breakfast is okay - consists of muffins, bread, pancakes, 2 cereals, coffee, tea and juices.
