Property is clean and attractive. Great location. The housekeepers we ran into were super nice and helpful. However, communication with host/staff was unsuccessful. We tried twice to call the number provided and left messages about needing more bedding for the sofabed and a leaking ac unit (bedroom) with no answer and no return call. Plan to be on your own staying here.

I am a frequent visitor / fan of SSI. 2 to 3 times a year. We were at a conference on Jekyll and had a couple days left and chose to stay 2 nites at Ocean Lodge. Covered parking and across the street access from the beach were big draws. I thought it would be a fun change from the places we usually stay with our dogs and often family. I remember the rooftop bar as a fun lively bar so thought the 2 nights there would be fun. Sadly, this property is exhausted and has lost its vision. It wasn’t a happy beach stay but felt heavy and sort of institutional. Like staying there we weren’t aware we were at the beach. Our room was clean, the bed was comfortable, but everything was remodeled for
wheelchair accessibility,including a chair in the shower, etc. The very sparse furnishing were a mix of heavy wood pieces found in an Indian open air marketplace, decorated with lions and a chair from Target. The patio is cool with the room but no view of anything besides the concrete railing porch enclosure. We felt trapped. . The a/c worked in main living area but not in the bedroom. After maintenance fixed it, it did cool but flooded on the floor in bedroom / bathroom area. We turned it off after cleaning the water up. It’s hard to say what is happening at OL but a fun rooftop bar, good dining and great beach vibes are not happening. We just felt sad for the property and sad being there. Bypass this property until they find their vision. The staff tried hard.

Have stayed here numerous times because of location, spacious rooms, and, previously nice staff. Apparently a corporation from California bought them. Now check-in is solely online/or code. Heaven forbid you get there at 340pm. It's a hard check-in at 4pm. Otherwise you're charged $75. We had issues opening our door. Called the number, voicemail full. Finally figured out you have to punch in code and within 2 seconds twist deadbolt opposite to arrow while pulling door handle toward you. Frustrating. Not sure what we woild have done if we didn't get it finally. No person there to assist. We got there Friday afternoon. Saturday morning at 8am we got a text from Talsey the AI bot offering help if needed for places to eat, etc. All in all the rooms and location remain great. I did not like the impersonal and potential for problems of virtual check in. Humans like to talk to humans.

Check in was difficult, mix up with rooms. Getting an home of someone was very difficult and ended up talking to housekeeping who weren’t surprised. Advertised beach chairs, umbrellas and towels to use but the chairs werelocked up and no umbrellas or beach towels to use. The room was gorgeous and huge when we eventually had it figured out but still. Would actually stay again but hope the hiccups are fixed and better communication.

They advertise that you can see the ocean from your balcony - but only if you are standing up. There is at least a 3’ cement bannister that blocks your view. When you call for assistance it goes to voice mail and the mail box is full. Two parts of the shower were broken. You can’t sit on your balcony from about 5-7 because the restaurant above - some kind of DJ and loud music.
One plus - it is an easy walk to the beach.

There are a few things that need to be fixed and cleaned in this unit 203 such as the master bathroom towel rack, luggage rack was broken, master bathroom glass shower needs to be cleaned, and the master bathroom soap dispenser was empty.
We didn't know until we checked in that the rooftop bar and restaurant is closed on Mon. & Tuesdays. When we have stayed here in the past the bar was always open even when the restaurant had a limited menu or was closed
Overall, the accommodations and location were good, and we will stay here again.

The parking garage for guests was very nice and convenient. I left in the wee hours of the morning, and it was dark. The space is open and easily accessible, so safety traveling alone was a concern for me. I stayed in the Penthouse suite, and while it was nice to walk to the restaurant, the carts they needed was right outside of our room, so it was kinda congested in the area. The check in process was nice, however, there is no lobby. I had questions about a parking pass and the phone number given, went to voicemail, and you couldn't leave a message because the mailbox was full. The staff in the main restaurant was very helpful, and was able to assist with my concern. The full kitchen is a really nice amenity, the tile in the shower definitely needs to be retiled (I wouldn’t use it) and the building itself could use some TLC. Pictures online are old and need updating. The cleanliness could’ve been better as the floor was dirty and needs a thorough cleaning (under the bed, under the sink, closets etc - I dropped my earring and had to look for it). Great access to the beach! Literally steps away which is a plus!

Photos seem like they were taken a decade ago. Decent property, but it’s showing its age and wear. AC in room didn’t work, was essentially a fan, main room worked extra hard to keep place cool. Random light switches that took a while to sort out. Great location, property still has promise, just needs some care. Parking was the fantastic. Covered lot with easy access for guests.

The building is nice, and we previously stayed here in 2021 in a different unit that was very beautiful. However, this time the unit was quite minimal. We experienced an issue with the old air conditioning in the bedroom, which leaked water onto the floor and made it feel like the room was flooding. In addition, the mattress in the bedroom should be replaced, as it made noise with every movement and disturbed our sleep. We had higher expectations because we had such a nice experience a few years ago.

The decor of the property is luxurious and I enjoyed that. However, having the restaurant with a band on the floor above was loud and not welcoming. Also the property was not clean; streaks on mirror and refrigerator and outdoor table did not look as if it had been cleaned in weeks. The towels and sheets appeared to be fresh though. I would not recommend staying on the 4th floor because of the restaurant/tavern noise.

We had the fifth floor room with amazing views and a private balcony/pation area. The room was spacious and comfortable. It looks like they have been updating the rooms but it was cleanly. I have questions about the elevator due to the fact the last inspection expired in 2024 so that made me a bit nervous but couldn't quite figure out the stairs as they would end on one floor and not sure where they picked up (possibly on other side of hotel?). There was no hair dryer in the room as stated in the room description left on property. I called after hours about 5 and did not receive a response. I found a hotel employee in the rooftop restaurant and she graciously found me one about 9:30 that night. I don't know if there was an actual desk to check in/out at as we paid in full and they sent the room code to get in. Check out was at 11:00 a.m. but no check out instruction except a reminder to check out by 11:00. I thought the bed was comfortably but hubby thought it was too hard. Both the main bath/shower controls were difficult to understand. The 2nd bathroom shower by the main door was moldy. There was no phone to dial zero to get to a front desk they said they had. I was offered a tour for a travel credite which we declined and based on this stay, I would question the other properties and have doubts. It is close to the beach. Very close. Incredible views from our patio. Wish we knew if someone actually worked the desk.

I was almost to the resort when they called to say our room was damaged in a storm and nothing was available. They suggested a couple of other places to stay, but didn’t assist us finding another place to stay with 30 minutes until arrival. Then for the next 3 days they texted me 2-3 times a day to ask questions: are you enjoying your stay? Why didn’t you check in at your suggested time? SERIOUSLY? And then after my “scheduled “ check out time, I had multiple emails and texts. I had made the reservation for this resort approximately 7 months prior because it was a combination business + pleasure. I’ll assume it would have been a nice place to stay, but the lack of assistance in rebooking and the pestering have convinced me to not stay there on my next trip

We visited for a wedding, so we saw other rooms, and ours was strangely empty compared to others-like missing some furniture others had.

Most of the dishes looked dirty-maybe it was just water spots, but it didn't inspire much confidence in the level of cleanliness.

One of the showers had a maximum heat of lukewarm water, and we didn't get to use the jet bathtub because the drain didn't seal properly.

The walls are very thin, as well.

It wasn't terrible, but it was probably nicer back in the day.

The room was spacious and well appointed. There was not really a beach view from the room, unless you count a tiny sliver between buildings. Our room was on the second floor on the end closest to the lobby. Also, the picture showed a jacuzzi tube, but we only had stand up showers. The floors need to be better cleaned, as walking around without shoes on made the bottoms of our feet black. The restaurant was only open for dinner, and was not open on Sunday at all. There was a nice view of the beach from the top floor outside patio. We were pleasantly surprised with live jazz music on the roof top on Saturday night.

Our overall stay was acceptable. The beach view was obstructed from our 2nd floor riom. The property is across the street from the beach with houses in the way. Very clean tile floors with no rugs making them a bit slippery. No hair dryer. Kitchen has coffee with flavored creamers. Soanish style interior and exterior is pretty. There are 2 restaurants there. The fine dining opens at 7 on the 2nd floor and the rooftop pub I think at 5 or 6. We had a 7:30 reservation for the roof top one. There was live entertainment with a man singing some good classic sings and people dancing (an older crowd) that was nice. It was pet friendly. The service though was terrible. One like 18 year old kid taking orders and running food. I felt bad for him but for the price of the food I expected better. We sat in the inside if the restaurant that was too brightjy lit. No ambience. There is no foyer or front desk to great you. We asked for an early check in from the host and we never received a response. The beach was incredibly nice. Dogs can run freely which was nice to see. No shells and very little waves. Very good. Don't look for any extras here. Expensive for the room. Very small kitchen sink, a 2 burner glass stovetop, microwave, toaster oven, full size fridge and a toaster oven. I would stay again for a less expensive price.

The food and service at the rooftop Terrace Restaurant and room service were very, very good. Sorry they don't serve breakfast now. Would love to have seen what they did with that! Our suite was large and comfortable. We had a great stay.

This is our second time staying here- the room was decent we had tybee presidential suite- however there was no coffee pot in room despite having keuring cups and sugar- we called and asked for coffee pot one was promptly brought to our room- but it didn't work- so they brought up another one which also did not work- the front desk was accommodating and made a cup of coffee for my husband from their coffee pot in office- however the next few mornings he was without-
Also there was no luggage holder in the room we had to use the coffee table for suitcases as my husband has a bad back and can not bend over to floor to reach his things-
Also the tile floor was absolutely covered in sand my husband asked for a broom and swept our room- there should be some carpet in there in my opinion because walking on tile for days hurts our feet and back and would make vacummming easier than having a sandy floor all the time-
Another suggestion is there is no full length mirror not in the closet for hanging clothes or anywhere- this may seem silly to some but we had reservations every night for dinner and I was unable to do a outfit check properly other than using my phone-
The restaurant upstairs was one of the places we had dinner- food was good, service definitely has room for improvement because after we received our food we didn't get a check in from our waitress for over 30+ minutes. we were on the 4th floor and the restaurant was directly above us so was quite loud- so we used tv-

Spectacular Views and Friendly Staff

Our stay at the Ocean Lodge Resort was very pleasant. We were taken back by the view of the ocean from the room's balcony and rooftop terrace. The Housekeeping staff was very warm and friendly and made our stay exceptional. Kudos to Mrs. Star, Mrs. Minnie, Mrs. Dream, the rest of the Housekeeping Crew and the entire staff for making our stay a memorable one.

The only complaint I would have to give is the misinformation on some of the web pages about the amenities of the stay. THEY DO NOT OFFER BREAKFAST (CONTINENTAL IN THE LOBBY OR AT THE RESTAURANT) OR LUNCH so be prepared to bring your own breakfast and lunch items to cook or go out somewhere to eat. They only offer dinner from 5 pm to 9 pm throughout the week. Menus were in the elevator but not sure why they were there unless there is brunch offered on the weekend. Our stay was from Wednesday to Friday so we didn't get to really experience that. I believe the restaurant is opened to the public but there is limited parking.

Great beach getaway

Great beach getaway for couples! Proximity to the beach can’t be beat for the price. Will definitely return!

Our room needed an update. Old/stained furniture. Linens for pull out sofa were left in a ball, appeared to have been used. They did bring fresh linens. Floors were dirty, wore socks around and they were brown on the bottom after a few hours. Needs a deep clean and some TLC with the furniture.

We have been on the road for 18 days and had excellent stays at all the hotels we booked. This property was the exception. When we got to our room, the floors were covered with water and the temperature was 90 degrees. The A/C was dysfunctional, and the receptionist seemed uninterested in helping us. She wanted us to be patient and wait for the A/C to be repaired. It was clear that the unit was not going to be fixed anytime soon. I asked for another room, and she said she would have to call someone. We finally got another room, but were called the next morning and told that we had to move to another room. The “free breakfast” advertised in Trip Adviser was orange juice, water, coffee, and milk. The restaurant was closed the two nights we were there. Check-out was advertised as

Totally amazing. Beautiful decor. Very clean and comfortable. From our patio, we could see the beach. We got beach chairs from the front desk. It was a short walk to the beach. The front desk was very friendly and tried to give us everything that we needed. Completely satisfied.

We liked the double balcony in the Presidential suite.
however, the King bed was very slanted on the right side.
The furniture was dated.
the hotel could use updating all around.
stairs were soiled from usage.
You could see light through the cracks on the front door.
During our five day stay, there was a utility cart of dirty supplies outside our door
The front desk staff was not hospitable, was mostly on their phone everytime we visited the front desk.

Not what I expected!!!

I wanted to give this place a 10+ but after our weekend, I could only give this a 4.5. It was too much dust on the paintings, too many hair strands in the shower tub that wasn’t ours. The pillows had brown stains on them. The coffee tea maker was nasty and dirty. Forget about trying to sleep in because there were movers or other people moving things around at 7:30 9:00 in the morning. How to drink at the bar and I thought it was a virgin because I didn’t taste any alcohol, but as it seems, the bartender & a few others were drinking behind the bar so maybe that’s where the alcohol went for my drink. I advised that it was our anniversary and no type of anything was a surprise. Someone called to confirm our stay and to receive additional information about our stay, I called back 3 times, no one answered or called back after I left a message. It’s not what I expected.

The style of the property was really nice. Very conveniently located to shops amd restaurants and right across the street from the beach. What i did not like was the stains on the couch in our room amd rhe restaurant food was not the best. The waitresses and entertainment were great but food not so much. There was also what looked to be blood on one of the bed pillows.

Hotel guest not given priority parking, restaurant customers use hotel’s spots.
Coffee machines were limited and not functioning properly. Breakfast was limited, fresh food was limited to micro apples.
Hotel staff smoking visibly near elevator and in car park.
Tv remotes were sticky and tacky to the touch.
Shower drain’s tiles were loose and stuck to bottom of foot in the shower.
Advertising oversold on most features of hotel.

This hotel was nice, but it's definitely not a 4 star hotel. This was a 3 star hotel. The food amenities were lacking for 4 stars, but on par with 3. No one came to clean rooms, I feel like the small details for cleaning were definitely overlooked. All in all, it was a good stay, but not great.

It was okay. Though the room I got was nice, it was not what I had originally booked. I thought I had booked a suite with a jetted tub and a separate shower and the room I got had only a tiny shower that was malfunctioning and had no hot water. I was told by hotel staff that because I had booked through Expedia at a discounted rate that is what I got and the pictures online were inaccurate.
