Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 06 Sep 2010 rated 3 out of 10.

This hotel had a fantastic pool. We also enjoyed the music by the tiki hut.The front desk personnel were very friendly. Sadly the ocean front room we stayed in was in desperate need of renovation.

Positives: Fantastic ocean front view.

Negatives: Moldy bathroom walls and balcony, broken window, room floor not level.

I called the hotel ahead of time to check on some of the reviews I read online. I was told there were no rocks on the beach, that was a joke! The room smelled very bad and the AC did not work that well, thank goodness it was only March, you couldn't stand it in the summer. The rooms look old and outdated. The bedding in our room was stained.

Positives: The lobby area was very nice.

Negatives: Everything about the room.

We were looking forward to our visit to Jekyll Island. When we got to our room we were so disapointed we almost left. We got the front dest to change our rooms which wasn't much better. Housekeeping is lacking, maintainence is lacking, the overall apearance of this hotel was the worst I have ever been in. The room smelled, there were rusty nails on the balcony on which my grandaughter cut her toe. The resturaunt food was terrible. It was just a very disapointing place to stay.

Positives: It was close to the beach.

Negatives: It was just not exceptable.

Hotel was a little over priced, however the restaurant food was wonderful. Pool area very nice. Beach access needs highly improved. You have to climb a small mountain of huge rocks to gain access to water on the beach. Hotel is located in Extremely safe area, and was clean. Expect 4 o'clock check in or later. They do not have enough staff hired to clean rooms and have ready on time. Cleanliness of rooms always a high priority. Rooms were clean, housekeeping was nice and we felt secure leaving valuables in room. Again the restaurant is an experience in itself. Excellent cheff.

Positives: Food was superb highly recommend. Ocean front room a must.

Negatives: Access to beach water over a three foot rock climb. Dangerous for handicap and elderly.

Negatives: Small bathroom.

Hotel needs to concentrate on the basics.<BR/>1. Shower knob extremely hard to operate/needs replacement. 2. Ice machine barely functional. 3. Walls need a good scrubbing in room and hallway. 4. Restaurant not open within 30 minutes of scheduled opening. 5. Cobwebs in room.<BR/>6. Request for delayed room cleaning resulted in room not being cleaned for the day. All in all, as a regular consumer of economy travel, found that the quality of this hotel was below what I have experienced at vaious Motel 6 locations.

Positives: Attractive lobby.

Negatives: Lack of attention to the basics.

My grandchildren and I enjoyed the room. There were plenty of towels and soaps. We liked the balcony, it had a view of the ocean.

Positives: I liked the location and being able to rent bikes.

Negatives: I was on the second floor and the light outside the door to our room was out. I called the lobby, but the bulb was not replaced.

The hotel lobby and swimming area was nice. Restaurant was not good. The rooms were ok, not as clean as I like rooms to be. But you can bring pets there so what should I expect.

Positives: The pool and the tiki bar, with lights, cute!

Negatives: The rooms, looked not kept up.

Very nice people, we arrived very early, about 11am, and we checked in to let them know we were here and would just go to beach until 4pm check-in, and they let us go ahead and check in our room then. Grounds were nice, rooms clean and neat. I would stay here again.

Positives: Location was very nice, rooms clean.

Negatives: Love bug mating season, bridge to beach broken.
