Real comments from travelers who have already stayed

Nate

United States, February 2024

6.8/10

The hotel is in a prime location, situated right between the village and the historical district, making it convenient for exploring both areas. The rooms are unique and open directly onto the beach, providing a special experience, but they do require a thorough cleaning. The service was a bit erratic, with some issues during check-in and an unusual incident involving a wash rag. The location is ideal for biking and exploring nearby attractions like Driftwood Beach and the fishing pier, although it lacks a traditional resort feel. The dining options cater to various needs, including local seafood and conference catering, but the facilities could use some improvement.

7.6/10

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the one hand, the room was clean, but it had a strong mildew smell, although the location right on the beachfront with amazing views of Driftwood Beach was a major plus.

Rooms

7.0

The room opened right onto the beachfront, just steps from the strikingly beautiful Driftwood Beach, and offered amazing views of the sunrise from our bed. However, there was a noticeable strong mildew smell, and the cleanliness may not be consistent.

Service

8.0

I received extraordinary service during my stay. The staff took pity on us and even drove us back to our villa on a particularly exhausting afternoon, saving us a long trek. Despite some issues with coordination, the staff's friendliness and helpfulness were outstanding.

Location

9.0

The hotel's location was absolutely perfect. Situated right next to Driftwood Beach, it offered stunning views and easy access to the beachfront. While the area got hit hard by a hurricane, it was still a great spot close to various attractions on Jekyll and St Simons Island.

Dining

The dining options at the hotel were decent, particularly during happy hour. The open dining areas provided a pleasant ambiance.

Facilities

The hotel's facilities were satisfactory, with catering for a conference and a good dining setup. However, some aspects could be improved to enhance the overall guest experience. The lobby store was convenient for quick bites and morning needs.
