Cat & Dog Friendly Hotels in Port Royal

"⭐️⭐️ 2/5 – Very Disappointing Experience (Especially for Dog Owners) We chose this hotel because it was labeled as “dog-friendly,” but our experience was far from welcoming. Upon arrival, we walked into the lobby with our dog, Coopie, to check in and were immediately yelled at by multiple staff members. We were told that unless she was a service dog, she was not allowed in the lobby. While she is a service dog, the way this was handled was completely unprofessional and uncomfortable. We’ve traveled to many hotels over the years—both before and after she became a service dog—and have never experienced anything like this. It’s important to note: this hotel being “dog-friendly” only seems to apply to having your dog inside the room—not in shared spaces—so keep that in mind if you’re traveling with a pet. As for the hotel itself, it’s very basic and clearly outdated. The room felt neglected, with visible stains on the bedding, and the floors and bathroom did not appear clean. Overall cleanliness was a major concern. Customer service was also disappointing. The front desk staff came across as rude and unwelcoming. Simple requests—like asking for extra towels or clean sheets—were met with attitude, which is frustrating considering this is standard service you expect from any hotel. On top of everything, the general attitude toward dogs felt very negative, which made the stay even more uncomfortable. Overall: This hotel may work if you just need a place to sleep"

"Front staff were personable and engaging. Breathe of fresh air honestly. Customer service has gone out the door since Covid. Room was very spacious, bed comfy. Would definitely stay again!"

"Very crowded for spring break, but the place is nice. Staff is great. Would stay here again. "

"The hotel staff is amazing but the pool bar and market seemed understaffed given the hotel capacity. We had a room issue arise in the middle of the night and it was handled well but still disappointing. Overall the property is beautiful and the amenities are wonderful but I think they could use some refresh on standards and an increase in staff."

"Room wasn't ready at check in Pool was dirty A wedding blocked from going in the pool Pool bar closed"

"They did not clean our room during our 5 day stay when they said they will every other day."

"Room was clean Breakfast was not replenished based on guests’ requests, coffee was always empty Very disappointing guest treatment "

"Montage Palmetto Bluff delivers a rare kind of quiet luxury, where everything feels intentional yet completely unforced. The River View Cottage stands out in particular—peaceful, private, and surrounded by a natural beauty that immediately slows your pace. Mornings on the porch overlooking the water are especially memorable, with a stillness that’s hard to replicate anywhere else. What truly elevates the experience is the service. The staff strikes that perfect balance of attentiveness without intrusion, anticipating needs before you even realize them. Every interaction feels genuine, not rehearsed, which adds to the overall sense of ease and comfort."
