Had 2 good rooms here, one standard and one king suite I stayed a week and I can’t say I have any complaints, beyond housekeeping ignoring the do not enter sign 2 hrs before checkout They even had flavored creamer 24/7 and half/half

Some places lock it down They have vending machines and laundry equipment Unfortunately there is no change machine Good water pressure, comfortable beds, and the king suite was nice except for the smaller TV than the regular rooms It was great for meetings in the room, physical or zoom, and will probably only stay in a king suite next time

Pauline Torres

A great stay! The first night, the AC in our room was not cooling properly Kim at the front desk did everything she could to resolve the issue, but it could not be fixed (it was late at night) She brought in a fan for the night and the next morning, maintenance replaced the unit with a new one

Aila who works the breakfast area was very polite and patient with all our questions The room was clean and spacious Pet friendly hotel Good price Would stay here againA couple of suggestions: the bathroom had no fan, which would be good for hot showers or “stinky deposits” and the only light was an extremely bright ceiling light Maybe a smaller, less bright light to keep on during the night for late night excursions to potty

Wasn’t sure what to expect when we booked this place for an overnight stay on our way to Florida It is just okay, however, I would not stay there again for a few reasons First of all, when we walked into the room, it had a stuffy odor

not musty really, but quite noticeable Otherwise, it did look clean Secondly, our bed had a very noticeable squeak every time you moved In addition, the pillows were truly horrible small, lumpy, poly-filled Breakfast was quite good with a variety of food Overall, for a one-night stay it was just okay at best, but I will pass on this hotel next time

This was just an overnight stop on our drive from Sarasota back to Philadelphia The hotel was so beautiful and smelled so nice! The staff was incredibly friendly Continental breakfast was a typical hotel free breakfast

Nothing too fancy Didn’t get a chance to order from the bistro The little Starbucks inside the hotel was so convenient Our view from the hotel room was gorgeous Could’ve seen the sun rise from the Atlantic Ocean if i would’ve gotten up a bit earlier Wish we would’ve been able to stay longer than just a night

Jeff Harrison

Had a wonderful stay!!! Hotel is newish and very clean! The entire staff was very nice Receptionist Kay was awesome and super helpful!!!! We were just a block from the beach and the weather was perfect Try Salt Life Restaurant

It’s a block away and very good food and atmosphere We were just 15 miles from downtown Amelia Island historic districtWe will be back

Well I am handicapped and there were three people in our party They changed our room from two queens/doubles to a king with a pull out bed The beds were less than comfortable

My son who is 11 that stayed with us had to use the pull out couch and he said it was very uncomfortable They were only towels for two so we had to go back to get new ones for the third person in the party that we had booked for Then we had to go back for a pillow As there were not three of those either Now I asked the lady if they were going to have boiled eggs for breakfast She said no due to the pandemic they would not They had oranges and apples How can you have eggs that you peel not be there but apples that you don’t peel be there in The dining room? There was no meat cereal or you could make your own waffle and a few things of bread and cereal There was Apple and orange juice and coffee There were signs up that said do not take the food back to your room Very disappointing Now next comes critiquing the room She said this was during the pandemic so I would’ve expected the room to be spotless Another great disappointment I am not sure when they dusted last but I think it was probably when they built the place One of the remote controls didn’t work the handicap bars in the bathroom were filthy Video attached Now when you are handicapped you like to have the handicapped shower so that it is lower Again another broken item that had so much dust on it that I know it had been broken for a while (See picture) In the center they have a kitchen area I am not sure when the last time they clean the wall but I could’ve probably had a full meal on the food that was there (See picture) The light on my wife side of the bed didn’t work The cups in the cabinet weren’t clean so we had to wash them also before we use them When I arrived and I asked if they could bring extra linens to the room as I have listed above they told me they had no housekeeping We arrived about five or 5:30 PM The reason that they had moved me to a different room is because they said that some government workers had extended their stay And so if somebody decides to extend their stay the new party has to suffer?

Heather Hatton

Stayed here for my daughters birthday last night and asked for late checkout while I was checking in as we didn’t get in until late and desk attendant said that would be fine, checkout would be at 12:00 instead of 11:00 As we are packing our things to leave room attendants pounded on the door at 11:03 saying we were supposed to be out I notified them that the previous night we had late checkout for 12:00 approved

5 minutes goes by and a different front desk attendant starts calling the room rudely yelling that I needed to get out that they have government personnel on the way that rented the room and I cannot stay This was after room switches due to half of the suite not getting power, dirty hot tub and pool, bathroom issues that needed addressing, etc Customer service by the day crew has been absolutely subpar at best Will also be contacting booking agency as this has been a complete joke

Kris DiFatta

The first room was very hot, with a strange smell There was no bathtub, only a shower that leaked, and there was a wedding reception loudly thumping music below the roomThe front desk was very kind and moved us to another room

The second room was much cooler and quieter, with a bathtub The beds were softThe pool was closed for treatment so we were unable to use it Breakfast was simple, but sufficient There were no extra pillows for the pull out bed, and the front desk said they didn’t have any to provide There were also strange notes taped up all over the hotel with instructions of things not to do (ie don’t leave trash bags outside your door for house keeping, breakfast is only to be eaten downstairs, not in your room, etc)Overall, it wasn’t a terrible stay, but the price is a little steep for a basic hotel in need of an update

Saint Mary’s, Georgia, where I and my now deceased parent’s once lived, in the early- late 1950’s, is not a friendly town!! The Manager of this hotel was very rude to me yesterday morning, when, through NO Fault of my own, I , in essence, pleaded with her, to reduce the price of another “stay-period”, since I was nearing the end of my current stay at this hotelInstead of “heart”, or , if I could possibly use the word, “Compassion”; I got a very stern, steely-eyed” Look “, and a very uncalled for, rude comment After this General Manager’s rude, ” in your face ” comment, I immediately left the front desk, and returned to my hotel room

I found a better hotel deal online, locally, and a much nicer Manager( from recent past experience )Also, at this hotel, the very first Tub- Shower I took; I found the water in the bathtub was NOT draining out of the tub!! So, my first shower, saw the tub filling with water and soap, etc, as I showered! Also, the toilet was defective, by my 3rd day, and I had to call for maintenance to fix something in the toilet tank! Maintenance was good, though, for both the draining problem, with the Tub, and the Toilet He is Hispanic, and was Much more pleasant than his boss( The Hotel Manager ) As far as Housekeeping went; I didn’t have a visit from them, until I was at this hotel 4 day’s! So, unless you are desperate for a room, I would not advise anyone booking this hotel, after my experience, here

I noticed some less than great reviews before we stayed and realize now that they seem to have been directed at the previous owners Under the new owner and management, this place is great The staff was helpful and friendly

Everything is clean and well-kept Definitely as nice as any other B&B we’ve stayed in, especially considering the age of the building Every we were interested in was within walking distance St Mary’s is a charming, quiet little coastal village Good restaurants and little shops My only recommendation would be to add some variety to the breakfast offerings, though everything served was good Highly recommend if you’re looking for a short, low-stress trip Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach is an easy 45 minute drive away and was a nice excursion for the day

Samuel Maffei

Spencer House Inn is one of the best Bed & Breakfasts I have visited in the United States

The decor, the breakfast, the peach tea, EVERYTHING I liked!!! I would definitely come back again soonThank you very much to all the staff who treated us with great affection

Luis Garcés

The attention they have with people is very good, the hotel is beautiful and cozy It has very good views and is very close to restaurants and places to be with family and friends, as well as being very close to the ferry If you are going to go out to visit Cumberland Island, they give you the option of asking for an extra lunch to take with you

This hotel is very convenient to major highway (but not too close for noise) It has a nice breakfast offered, including eggs, sausage, potatoes, waffles, cereal, fruit, yogurt, breakfast breads/muffins Good coffee and warm cookies in the later afternoon! The room was comfy

Bed/pillows very comfy nice to have fridge/freezer/microwave, especially staying a few days Shower had a handy seat if anyone needed Coffee maker/coffee was great A/C was pretty decent It cycled a bit loudly, but I appreciated you could keep air circulating constantly with fan option The only dislike was a carpet cleaner/odor smell, but nothing terrible The window curtains need to be about six inches longer to block out the very bright parking lot lights I just used pillows to block light! Quiet, lots of nearby dining/groceries and a few minutes to downtown quaint St Mary’s I’ll stay again!

Courtney Carlton

Absolutely LOVED staying here! This is our new go to place in this area, as a family who travels A LOT we have seen our fair share of hotels This place was high on our list The check in staff we encountered was so sweet and informative

Our room was cozy and comfortable and SUPER CLEAN The entire hotel smelt clean, was clean, and so welcoming The weight room was clean and neat Pool was wonderful Breakfast selection was delightful and had something for everyone Will definitely be using them in the future and referring everyone here Pricing was fair and worth every penny All the many staff we met was courteous and helpful The hotel is in a busy area but felt like it wasnt I cannot say enough good things!

Ruben

This place is truly the Best Western Came in after driving and was tired Rolled in about 12:30 am

Gentleman up front was nice and pleasant He gave me a wonderful room that smelled like mold Everything was damp Requested a room change The room was changed with no issues foundFell asleep and woke up from the same front desk gentleman telling everyone there is a fire at the gas station next door and we are required to evacuateWe had a ball outside watching the firefighters put out the fireWhat other adventures await for us at 2:30 in the morning Can’t wait!!!!

We made reservations earlier in the day and got to the hotel at 1:30 am The lady at the front desk was very kind and happy to great us, she got us checked in and paid our pet deposit ($20 non refundable) We got the last room of the night

The rooms are nice without going over the top if you will! The bed and pillows were very comfortable in me and my husband’s opinion The water was hot and rooms were clean I have no complaints!!

Jeff Wilson

I spent one night here on a motorcycle tripThe room I was in was a king with a sofa, and it was very nice Very clean

Oddly enough the towels were a little ratty but they were just fineHot breakfast in the morning, with plenty of seatingThe service, both in the evening and in the morning, was excellentThey have a small sundries convenience shop, and ice creamThe hotel is in walking distance of food so you don’t need to drive for dinnerI would definitely stay here again

Amanda Clampitt

I had a nice stay The room was clean, the woman at the front desk was friendly My complaint is that my credit card was charged 3 times

I was told the charges would fall off once I checked out They did not I spent 45 minutes on the phone (being placed on hold) while the manager on duty contacted the credit card company and at times had to check people in (understandable) to be provided a reference number and no refund I stayed here on 6/30 It’s now 7/5 and I still have yet to see the charges come off of my account That’s $160 of my money that’s tied up waiting My bank told me to contact the hotel, the hotel says I need to wait for the bank The charges are still pending and I am wildly frustrated I understand it’s a holiday weekend, but only one of the days in the last 5 was an actual holiday At the end of the day, this is a mistake the hotel made My card should have never been charged 3 times and I feel they haven’t done anything to make their mistake right They could have given me Wyndham points or discounted my stay for the inconvenience Just disappointed and still waiting for my money

Bob Nelms

I wish I could give a higher rating, but I can’t Most of the staff I came in contact with were super nice and helpful The room, on the other hand, was awful

The toilet handle kept falling out, and there was broken and loose tiles in the bathroom The beds were the hardest and most uncomfortable beds I’ve ever encountered in a hotel The pullout bed, which we needed, was unusable It was nasty, dirty, and even a ten year old couldn’t sleep on it One of the beds (doubles, not queens) was literally 2 hand widths from the a/c unit, so whomever was in that bed was getting blasted with air The breakfast left much to be desired The lady working the breakfast was more interested in closing the thing down than she was restocking any items If the reservations hadn’t been non-refundable I would have taken my family to another hotel I have over 500 stays at Marriott, and can confidently say that this is NOT a good representation of the Marriott brand

Chloe Dupuis

If you can avoid it, don’t stay here This is a very (very) old hotel The lobby and breakfast area and nice and updated, but the rest is just so old

The room we had was small and dingy There was an old odor Old carpets, old furniture, old bathroom In general, the room was clean But it is so old that the ceilings and walls, wall paper etc are so stained and used We left the window open all night to air the place outThankfully we only stayed one night We didn’t interact with the staff much, though they seemed friendly

Daniel Robinson

Easily the least comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in at a hotel Maybe the king beds are better – I can’t speak to those, but this bed was awful It’s not just the firmness, I’m good with a firm bed, but holy hell, just super uncomfortable

And the pillows suck Granted, nearly all hotel pillows suck, but still Also, the turn to get back to the hotel is weird and unmarked – maybe it’s easier during the day

This hotel really surprised us! To be across from the beach, I expected it to cost more, but it was very reasonably priced You never know what you are going to get with a beach hotel, but it was very clean Front desk staff was friendly and helpful

Loved our stay here Staff friendly and helpful, room clean and sanitized, free hot breakfast, coffee available 24 hours a day, free cookies in afternoon, one free parking spot and location is terrific Just grab your beach gear and walk across the street to the beach

I had a very good stay at this Hampton Inn Everything was clean Location was very convenient with several restaurants in the area

The in app checking, room selection, room key and check out all worked great Included breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in a long while Not a huge selection but it open early (6AM) and the items were all of decent quality and quantity I’d certainly stay here again if I were in the area

What a wonderful place to rest, recharge and be with nature We spent a weekend at the Inn and loved it Totally recommend a visit

The staff is very friendly and accommodating The boat ride onto the island is very easy going and on time The food is the best we ever tasted, kudos to the chef The decor is very well kept to the time period of a historical inn The attention to details is seen in the entire inn and property Great!”Special thanks to Elle working at the Inn and Christina who provided great tours”

Asya Butler

Absolutely magical placeWe booked our second stay as soon as we came back home from the first one=)The house is interior designer’s dream with lots of charming details Staff is very nice and helpful yet you are left alone most of the time which we loved

The nature is incredible! Its out of this world We went in March (perfect temperature wise) and in July (very hot and humid with lots of bugs but the forest is incredibly gorgeous this time of year)Another unexpected luxury is the food Breakfast and lunches are great but dinners are a real fine dining experience You can tell their chef is a real proOverall we felt like this place is consistently held to the highest standards in every little detail

Matt Smith

Visited mid June ‘22 and stayed in one of the rooms in the Inn This was our second trip to Greyfield, and the good news is that nothing had changed in 7 years! The island is unlike anything else, the Inn is beautiful and filled with history, the food was excellent at every meal, and the peace and quiet was exactly what we were looking forTake the excursions – the naturalists know the history and all the best spots to stop and see wildlife and other photo ops

Because of the flight & ferry schedules, we had to fly in a day early and stay in a bed & breakfast in Fernandina It was there and at dinner that we heard concerns about air conditioning in Greyfield Not sure where this urban myth comes from: Greyfield has had central air conditioning for years Our room, the dining room and common areas were all cool in the midst of a scorching heat waveGo and visit Greyfield! You won’t regret it

The location is perfect and staff very kind However, extremely overpriced for a tiny room and no amenities It is not a clean place

The floors come up black when you wipe them No closets or sitting spaces I understand it’s a historical place but it can definitely be preserved better considering the prices they charge Recommend spending money on a local B&B or hotel off the exit

Wonderful, central location The room we stayed in was right above live music I guess depends on the mood you’re in on whether that is a nuisance or an amenity

The room is small but did the trick for what we needed The entrance was mildly hard to find It is on the side that has the outside deck on the 2nd floor Otherwise, you can miss it Parking is limited but we still managed The staff were all friendly

I noticed some less than great reviews before we stayed and realize now that they seem to have been directed at the previous owners Under the new owner and management, this place is great The staff was helpful and friendly

Everything is clean and well-kept Definitely as nice as any other B&B we’ve stayed in, especially considering the age of the building Every we were interested in was within walking distance St Mary’s is a charming, quiet little coastal village Good restaurants and little shops My only recommendation would be to add some variety to the breakfast offerings, though everything served was good Highly recommend if you’re looking for a short, low-stress trip Amelia Island/Fernandina Beach is an easy 45 minute drive away and was a nice excursion for the day

Spencer House Inn is one of the best Bed & Breakfasts I have visited in the United States

The decor, the breakfast, the peach tea, EVERYTHING I liked!!! I would definitely come back again soonThank you very much to all the staff who treated us with great affection

The attention they have with people is very good, the hotel is beautiful and cozy It has very good views and is very close to restaurants and places to be with family and friends, as well as being very close to the ferry If you are going to go out to visit Cumberland Island, they give you the option of asking for an extra lunch to take with you

My first impression wasn’t that good The units appeared to be outdated However, once I moved in I had a change of heart

Rooms were clean and provided the home away from home feel that I needed During my stay I noticed that they were working hard to upgrade many of the units and amenities I was surprised at how large the units were The staff was always friendly and polite, they went out of their way to accommodate you Anytime I have to travel to Kingsland, Ga Mariners Suites has my reservations It’s like a small community within a community Keep up the great work!
