Where to stay in South Carolina: Best areas for travelers

• Myrtle Beach: Nothing beats staying in the thick of the action, particularly when you have fabulous attractions such as Broadway at the Beach within easy reach. After a long day of sightseeing, jump into a comfy bed at the Myrtle Beach Seaglass Tower, the Holiday Inn At the Pavilion or the Aqua Beach Inn.
• Charleston: If you only have one night in town, make sure you stop by USS Yorktown. It's one of the major reasons so many people put this destination on their itinerary. There are loads of excellent places to lay your head here too, including the Planters Inn, the Belmond Charleston Place and The Meeting Street Inn.
• Hilton Head: It's no surprise why lovers of nature enjoy visiting here. With Sea Pines Forest Preserve, Daufuskie Island Beach and Savannah National Wildlife Refuge to wander around at your leisure, it's the perfect blend of nature and urban life. If you're up for more sightseeing, find your way to Calibogue Sound, Coastal Discovery Museum and Sergeant Jasper County Park too. When you're ready to call it a day, climb into bed someplace comfy like the Vrbo Property, the Minutes From Beach, Lazy River Kid Friendly! or the Summer Special: Vacation Condo Waterside Resort, 2 Blocks To Beach.
• Columbia: If South Carolina State House is on your to-do list (and it really should be), you'll want to spend a few nights here. With comfortable stays like the Marriott Columbia, the Hotel Trundle and the Sheraton Columbia Downtown Hotel to select from, it'll be easy to put together a fun escape.
