“Very Genuine and Warm Customer Service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

The customer service at this property was memorable. Because we hadn't arrived before 7PM they called to tell us that their office would only be open until 1 or 2AM, and left a number to call in case we arrived after that time. Also, as soon as we were in our room, the front desk called to make sure that everything was OK with our room.

We stayed in the "lodge" property. All of the rooms open to the outside and you must access the higher floors by way of the stairs. Our room certainly met our needs. It had tile floors, microwave and refrigerator, table and chairs, and a flat-screen television. The bathroom had been recently redone with an attractively tiled shower with a glass sliding door. If I could have changed anything about the room it would be the bed linens. I'm just not a huge fan of those polyester bedspreads that never get washed.

The free wireless internet worked well. The free breakfast was typical: hot waffles, yogurt, hard boiled eggs, muffins, cereal, juice/coffee/tea. The breakfast room was in the restaurant that opens to the pool area.

From the outside this is a very dated-looking and discombobulated property. The property is dotted with several different buildings in different styles. We had trouble located the reception initially, because we arrived in the dark, and the sign is kind of small. The property is dominated by brick by two-story brick buildings that look very 1950s. But then there is also a 3-story white-singled building jutted out from one side of the property (the "lodge") and then a several story shingled high-rise on the other side of the property. Everything was manicured and well-taken care of, but just looked dated.

The property is right on the beach. Overall, it was a nice stay and I would stay there again.

We enjoyed our ocean front room and the off-season rates made it very affordable

Room Tip: we really enjoyed watching the sun rise from our ocean front balcony

“Great find”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
2
people found this review helpful

Traveling for business, I found Litchfield Inn using kayak.com. What a find. Portions of the resort were built in the 60s. I stayed in the older section. The rooms were very, very clean and fresh feeling. The entire grounds appear to have been freshly painted. The rooms reminded my of beach vacations with family when I was a child, brought back many good memories. The staff was very friendly. Definitely worth the trip if you are looking for simple accommodations. The restaurant was outstanding. I had an absolutely delicious dinner with outstanding service and a masterful chef - one of my top 25 best meals ever. Easy and direct access to the beach. Tremendous value.

Room Tip: The free breakfast is very basic. 2 great breakfast restaurants with in 2 miles.

“One-of-a-kind Oceanfront”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We just had two delightful nights in a renovated Tower "king" unit. We were to stay one night but enjoyed it so much we stayed another and reserved to return for 4 nights in April (with the grandsons). Groupon certificates make it very reasonable.
The staff was superb--Mara at the desk, Rick in maintenance, and the ladies who cleaned--all were positive and helpful. Far beyond what we've experienced in other beach resort complexes.
Our balcony had amazing ocean and island views. The unit was very clean. Our king bed had a comfy pillow-top mattress. The bathroom had double basins and a fully tiled walk-in shower. The mini-kitchen provided all we needed for snacks.
The continental breakfast was enhanced by a waffle-maker and hard-boiled eggs--it would have been nice to have a microwave to heat the pastries.
You are so close to the beach, you feel you are really on it. Miles of white sand for walks or rides if you bring bikes. All in all--the best short break we've had in awhile and now the anticipation of going again.

Room Tip: Ask for a renovated unit. Corner units have front and side views from the balcony.

“Weekend Without Kids!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

My husband and I were given a groupon gift for Christmas by his parents for a weekend away without kids. We had never been to Pawley's Island and fell in love with this area that calls itself "arrogantly shabby." We found the hotel staff to be warm and welcoming upon arrival. We had a great oceanfront/dunes room that was spacious and very clean. My only complaint was that Mother Nature ensured it was very cold, so we couldn't enjoy the rocking chairs on the porch. We'll just have to come back in the fall! We enjoyed our stay on Pawley's Island very much....and if you're looking for a good restaurant, we enjoyed a great (Grown up...not a chicken nugget in sight! lol) at Roz's Rice Mill Cafe.

Room Tip: We stayed in one of the (older) oceanfront rooms with the dunes/ocean view with the private screened...
