Budget hotels

What to check before you book
The listed price is not the whole cost. The Holiday Inn Express charges a nightly parking fee, while Hotel Carolina, a Days Inn by Wyndham, lists free parking. Compare the total, with parking, breakfast and any pet fee, rather than the nightly rate alone.
Distance to the beach matters too. The Holiday Inn Express is a short walk from Coligny Beach and the S.R Hotel is about two blocks away, while the Red Roof Inn and the Hampton Inn are a short drive. Read the details on each hotel’s own page, or compare all Hilton Head hotels.
