The responses were fast and furious, and we wanted to share a few with you:

“Because it is the only place in Beaufort that takes coffee as seriously as I do.” – Josefina Blanc

“Because they always make me feel like I am getting my coffee at home.” – Ken Page

“Why I love City Java? Because when I ordered a frozen coffee, I noticed my ice cubes were made from coffee. PURE GENIUS!” – Hollie Wargo

Our winning post came from Emmie Hamm Dilsaver who said:

I love City Java because it satisfies all of my senses:
SMELL: Great aromas from the coffees and yummies!
TOUCH: Always feels great in City Java no matter what time of the year – a hot coffee in the winter and an iced drink in the summer & always climate controlled to perfection!
HEAR: I love the sounds of the coffee machines and the happy people exchanging hellos – and the hiss of the whipped cream going on top of my iced carmello machiatto….
SIGHT: There are always neat new things in there to see – decorated sweets, new products the specials!
TASTE: I love the taste of the food, sweets and especially my iced carmello machiatto that are slight addicting!

If you’re not yet a fan of our http://www.facebook.com/CityJava, because we’ll be running more promos like this in the future. And thank you to all who love City Java!

This is the second consecutive year City Loft Hotel has received this recognition.

“We are extremely excited to have been named Beaufort’s best hotel by the readers of The Beaufort Gazette. This award is extremely important to us because reflects the views of those who stay with us and know us best,” said City Loft owner, Matt McAlhaney. “We would like to thank everyone who voted for us to receive this award for a second consecutive year, and we look forward to continuing to serve you.”

This is the most recent of many accolades for City Loft Hotel.

Earlier this month City Loft received TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, an award given to properties that routinely receive top ratings on the TripAdvisor website.

We are so very excited about this, and thank all of our wonderful guests for rating us as a top place to stay in Beaufort, SC.

This award means so much to us because it is determined by the reviews we receive from our guests. It’s a clear indication that our guests are leaving happy and satisfied, and that is exactly what we want.

Thank you again to everyone who rated us on TripAdvisor, and if you haven’t, yet, you can do so by going to our page here.
