The location and basic layout was excellent. But it seems like the rooms are at the end of their decor cycle--and the whole needs to be cleaned and renovated.

There was a smell in the room. The floor was a wooden floor that seemed like it was just mopped before we got there because it stayed damp the entire weekend. I think that attributed to the smell.

Great Weekend Getaway

We loved staying at Ocean Inn and Suites! The staff were so friendly and always available. We were given lots of recommendations for places to eat in the area. We only stayed 2 nights and we would go back. The place itself looks like it’s undergoing some construction and some upkeeping. We didn’t have much of a problem with the appearance other than some tiles in the ceiling were discolored and the water pressure in the shower wasn’t the best. Other than that, WE LOVED IT!

Old, dated. Like its stuck in the 80s. The staff was excellent, very friendly and honest. I dont like giving negative reviews, but I hope this spurs ownership to renovate.

Excellent location. Breakfast offering is pathetic. Cleanliness is questionable. Exhust vent in Room 212 flithy. Housekeeping missed our room one day with no explanation. Holes in walls of corridor in second floor could easily be fixed. Trash in the front garden stayed there for four days. It is like no one takes pride in the place which is a shame.

Nice older hotel. Renovation coming? This hotel is located within walking distance of water and "the Village". You probably would enjoy a room with balcany. St. Simons is beautiful with several interesting restaurants and a quite and relaxing feel. Much better than Jekyll island.
