"Met our travel needs relaxing at pool & hot tub highlight"

Best Western Plus St. Simons

8/10 Good

"Good room and location for the price. Not with walking distance to anything but the island is small so driving wasn’t too much of an issue. Room was good size and clean enough. A/C worked great. Super hot water that never ran out although it did cycle some. Pool area was super nice. Room did have very noticeable smoke smell upon entering each time. Staff was great and accommodated our super late check in. Lobby had small snack/drink shop but wasn’t very well stocked so we door dashed a lot. Morning staff was SUPER loud every single morning and landscapers were out working every morning until mid morning. Noise level did affect our stay. Room was located next to laundry and we had a constant knocking all 6 days and occasional shaking walls. Only One elevator at one end of the building so prepare to lug your stuff if on 2nd floor. But for the price it worked for our girls trip week. Would consider staying again if nothing else but for the good rate."

Sea Island Resorts

10/10 Excellent

"We truly enjoyed our stay at The Inn! This place is a hidden treasure! The landscape is beautiful, the rooms were clean & well stocked, the staff was absolutely amazing from start to finish, my mocktails were incredible & the breakfast buffet & food from the bar was delicious! We are looking forward to visiting again and sharing the experience with our family. I’m so happy that my husband took me there for my birthday celebration! Many thanks to all the staff for all they do for their guests!"

Epworth By The Sea

10/10 Excellent

"You need to experience for yourself. It's that great. 40 year returning customer. Just wonderful place. Make sure you put a needed prayer request in the chapel box."
