Very old dated hotel. I'm sure some people would find it charming. I, however, am not one of them. Parts of the room were not very clean. On the plus side it's a great location if you're touring.

When we checked in the lady was very nice.The Hotel is rustic,old,and very creepy with Black cat laying on the counter. No rooms on first floor and no elevator. There were no telephones in the room, hugh gap between outside wall and flooring, bathroom shower faucet had vice grips to control flow of water and steps leading up to second floor were dim and poor lighting. The breakfast nook was small and cluttered and poor lighting making it hard to see what was available. Heavy construction all around made parking almost impossible. The bed was comfortable and cable tv was available.The airconditioner unit was below the window to the floor making it super difficult to control. Rumor has it, that it could be haunted, as well.

A Pleasant Stay

Pros: The old time charm. Quiet.
Cons: Mattress, towels.
Location: In the heart of the very nice historic district. Several good restaurants withing walking distance. Cumberland Island National Seashore.
We spent a couple of nights in the Riverview while visiting Cumberland Island National Seashore. The hotel is immediately across the street from the ferry dock. It's a faithfully restored 100-year old hotel with all of the creaks and squeaks which adds to the charm. The only shortcomings were the authentic 100-year old mattress and rather skimpy towels. However, the bed was comfortable, the towels usable, and both of those issues pale in comparison to a cocktail and cigar on the wonderful hotel balcony. The staff was friendly and efficient, the breakfast good, and they have a great bar. The hotel is located on the waterfront in the very nice historic district of St. Mary's and within walking distance of everything. A very pleasant stay.

Visiting Cumberland Island

Pros: The historic ambiance was interesting. I personally liked it, but it may not be for everyone's taste. Must love dogs and cats.
Location: Cumberland Queen Ferry is right across the street.
The service was excellent. The staff went above and beyond by upgrading us and making sure we were comfortable. The housekeeping staff were amazing. They brought some of my items to me when I had accidentally left them behind. The location is perfect if you are planning a trip to Cumberland Island.
