Staff was nice and location was decent, would not recommend though, with the parking fees and cost for the room you can
Pros:

Staff was nice

Cons:

Was given a pet designated room( had our ESA dog with us), and it was awful, pet stains throughout the carpet, the odor was awful, smelled of pet waste and bleach. The mattress was the worse mattress I’ve ever slept on, it was as if the springs had given out. Parking was almost $40, it was so in for only might as we needed a place to stay on our road trip but I wish I had stayed elsewhere and paid a little more, not worth it at all.

Don't waist your time or money here!
Pros:

The breakfast and the people were friendly at the service desk.

Cons:

The carpet in the room was filthy, dog poop on the carpet, no chairs to sit outside your room, bugs in room, couldn't control the air conditioner, musty smelling. I cleaned the air conditioner vent, it was so full of dust!!! We are at another best western hotel in St Simon island now, What a 100% difference, just beautiful here!!! Your place needs to be torn down or remodeled!

TERRIBLE.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Where do we start? Booked a room for 3 people, only 2 towels and 2 rags provided. The AC was not working correctly. It literally froze us out and when we would bump it up, it would blow hot. So we froze all night. It was advertised river view and the only view of the river from this property was a photo of the river on the wall in the room. The carpet was FILTHY. It turned our feet black AFTER we bathed. We booked this room for $170 and the listed price on the hotels website was $80. What a joke! On top of that, no where on the booking site did it mention that there was pay to park and we searched and searched and still couldn’t find it. And the icing on top of the cake was the pubes in the shower, the sour smelling shower curtain and the clump of hair in one of the towels. Also, the construction on the exterior of the building right outside our room at 7am this morning was soooooo wonderful for our family night away. The breakfast tasted like rotten fish. And we paid for parking and got to the hotel and there was no space available for our vehicle. Ended up having to park in a place for 10 minute only parking which was on the other side of the property from our room. For what we got, it would have been worth $50, not $170 plus $40 parking.
