I came down for one day business trip and decided to bring my family. I just randomly chose this hotel and it was awesome. I will definitely come back and stay again. I couldn’t ask for anything more from the rate to the hotel the cleaning this their room was exactly as described, and it was well clean. I will definitely stay again. My only concern was there was no meat option to choose from in the breakfast buffet, but that’s the only thing I gotta worry about life is good.

It was everything advertised at a great price compared to the other properties in the area. My wife and I took a quick trip for the weekend and loved the hotel. It is in a great location in relation to the beach as well as other areas on the island. We really enjoyed our stay.

They must’ve had an off weekend with plumbing in the entire building. My husband had to go across the street to use the public beach restrooms because we literally couldn’t flush the toilets in our bathroom or the main one in the lobby. The room AC was also made loud thumping noise if you set it below 71 degrees. The only positive ~ it was perfectly convenient to the beach, Fort Clinch State Park, and a few restaurants. Not sure that I would stay again.

Front desk staff was pleasant. Breakfast was decent. The room was filthy. Dirty footprints all over bathroom floor, globs of soap in the sink drain, makeup smeared on light switch, MANY hairs on bed sheets, mattress cover filthy and stained, trash on floor, sticky spots on carpet, etc. This hotel is looking very worn outside the room as well, and it’s not even that old. My stay here years ago was great, but unfortunately after this stay, I won’t be back.

It’s just OK.

For the price, it was just OK. Close to the beach. The property has been renovated however the bathrooms are a bit crusty, the shower handles had build up, and the corners of the bathroom floors were dirty with hair, powder, etc. Though the rooms were recently renovated, there was a very strong musty smell in the room. VERY strong. I woke up with a runny nose. There was a constant rattling/windy noise in the room, as if the window did not properly fit in the window sill or needed repair, etc. Additionally, the complimentary breakfast was very lacking. They were completely out of silverware and everything was just very meh. Needless to say, we grabbed a prepackaged yogurt and left. While eating, the overwhelming smell of air freshener downstairs permeated the air which you notice upon checkin as well (it’s as if they’re trying to cover up the musty smell). Overall, it was just OK.

We enjoyed a budget friendly weekend to celebrate our 28th anniversary. It is only a block away and an easy walk to the beach. The staff that we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We will likely return for future trips.
