Title: Hotel Scammed My Family and Blamed Expedia. Avoid This Property!
Absolute breach of contract and deceptive service. I made this reservation 5 months in advance to guarantee a One-Bedroom Island View Room WITH a balcony for my family (my wife, two sons, and our dog).
When we arrived at midnight, the staff practiced deliberate concealment. The Front Office Manager, Aarya Trivedi, personally handled our check-in along with a female agent. He knew our room was downgraded due to an engineering failure but hid it from us completely. They handed us the keys without a word, letting us drag our luggage up to a room that was physically smaller and had NO balcony.
When I immediately confronted them, Manager Aarya Trivedi only signed a letter admitting to the downgrade because I strictly demanded it, but then shirked responsibility by saying \"just talk to Expedia.\" They tried to pass an insulting $80 refund through Expedia for a multi-night stay, which I flatly refused.
To make it worse, the property directly swiped my Visa card for $258.26 for incidentals and resort fees (Folio CUI_60488.pdf), meaning they took my money directly but refused to fix their own fraud. Expedia customer service was helpful, but this specific Marriott property management is unethical. Do not trust them with your vacation!

We were only there for one night on our way to Florida so I’m grateful for that. Our room was clean but the bed was so uncomfortable; you kind of rolled towards the center which wasn’t great. The buffet breakfast felt very unorganized and the juice machine wasn’t working and there was no regular milk, just chocolate. Tables were left dirty and didn’t see anyone cleaning them. For the price per night I didn’t feel like it was worth it and we wouldn’t stay there again.

Ideal location for families because of convenience. Bright and beautiful spacious lobby was nice for watching a game. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the option to order from onsite restaurant was nice, we did this our first evening when we didn’t want to leave the hotel. Full size kitchens in the rooms are a game changer for families. We used our kitchen for easy lunches during breaks from the beach and pool. Sandy beach is right there and made it easy to enjoy with younger kids. We needed extra towels and they were sent to our room immediately.

We did in fact have a view of the ocean, but it was back in onw corner, so we saw plenty of the hotel building at the same time. The room was smaller than I was expecting but comfortable enough. It was nice to have a room fairly close to the elevator.

It’s a very nice facility beautiful heated pool beach is great for walking truly dog friendly! The room location though ocean view should be considered obstructed view since there is a roof top and 5 foot wall outside our balcony. Hotel was full so we could not move and were told that was the room we chose. Actually it appears that was the room Expedia chose. We are not happy with Expedia! Not for what the 3 nights cost us!!!

The room was very spacious and comfortable, and the hotel itself is beautiful. The gym was excellent with modern, state-of-the-art equipment, and the island is absolutely lovely.

However, I was disappointed with the view. I booked a Studio, 1 King Bed with Sofa Bed, Balcony, Ocean View, but the ocean was only visible as a small sliver. The balcony was right up against a roofline, and there was no window next to the bed, which made the room feel more closed in than expected. Since I specifically paid for an ocean view, this was frustrating.

Overall, it’s a nice hotel in a great location, but I would recommend confirming the exact view before booking if that’s important to you.

Our stay at the Residence Inn on Jekyll Island was absolutely wonderful and exceeded every expectation.

The room was beautiful, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, with a full kitchenette that made our stay feel both convenient and luxurious. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the amenities throughout the property were top notch. We loved having a Starbucks on site (although it was with limited hours), as well as the bistro and bar for easy dining options.

The pool area was gorgeous, but our favorite spot was the courtyard with the fire pit. Sitting there in the evenings, listening to the ocean and enjoying the views, was pure relaxation and quickly became our favorite place to be during our stay.

The staff truly made this experience exceptional. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, especially the gentleman who checked us in, and Lorena, who works the evening shifts. Her hospitality, kindness, and attentiveness made us feel genuinely cared for throughout our entire stay. She went out of her way to ensure everything was comfortable and enjoyable, and we are so grateful for her warmth and professionalism.

We visit Jekyll Island every year around this time for our anniversary, and this was our first stay at this hotel, but it will not be our last. We will absolutely be returning next year. Highly recommend!

The hotel was beautiful. The staff was friendly and fast, and any complaints were handled quickly. We had paid extra for an ocean view from the balcony and the room and the room was on the second floor, which did not give us an ocean view from the balcony. It was only a partial ocean view. When I brought it to the staff attention. They moved us to the third floor and the room had a beautiful view from it. The breakfast was wonderful. They had pancakes and you can make your own waffle. There was bananas and oatmeal and things to put in your oatmeal and cereal and plenty of syrup for the waffles and pancakes. Sausage was excellent. I did not try the eggs. I did find a roach, however, in the room and brought it to the staff attention at check out who said that they would have the exterminator out there 123.

Most of the staff was not friendly and sometimes downright dismissive. I booked two rooms, asked for a crib over the phone the day before check in. Asked again at check in. Was told all was good. Arrived in a room without a crib. Went back down to the front desk and was told the crib would be there soon - and was ignored when asking why it was not in the room in the first place. Someone dropped the crib 20 min later at the room entrance - did not offer to set up or anything. There were no sheets, just the pack and play mattress that didn't look very clean. I called and asked for sheet. House keeper came and tried to give me some colorful cover made of polyester. I declined and asked for cotton crib sheets ( I had received similar sheets for the exact same pack and play in another hotel the day before). Was told cribs don't need sheets (!?). After asking again, someone dropped twin bed flat sheets - not for a crib. On another day, my room key stopped working. I went downstairs, another person was having the same issue. The front desk person did something and told me it was fixed. I went back upstairs, it still wasn't working. Went back downstairs, there was a line, ended up having to beg someone from housekeeping to let me into my own room. At no point in these interactions was anyone friendly or understanding .

The pros: hotel is clean, the ocean view is great and it was not noisy.

Our stay at Marriott Jekyll Island was absolutely amazing. We stayed during the off-season, which made the pricing more approachable, but even knowing it can be pricier during peak season—I can confidently say the cost is fully justified.

The breakfast was phenomenal, with an excellent selection and quality that exceeded expectations. The Starbucks in the lobby quickly became a frequent stop for us, and the lobby restaurant served top-notch food as well—everything we tried was fantastic.

We stayed on the bottom floor with an oceanfront balcony, and it could not have been more perfect. The views, the sound of the ocean, and the peaceful atmosphere made the entire stay incredibly restful. The hotel itself was quiet, calm, and relaxing, exactly what we were hoping for.

The kitchen area was a huge plus—fully equipped with hotel-provided pots and pans and perfectly suited for our travel needs. The living room space was very comfortable and well laid out. The only downside worth mentioning is that the pull-out couch was not comfortable at all. After the first night, our son opted to sleep directly on the couch instead, which worked better for him.

Outside amenities were excellent—plenty of outdoor games, fire pits, easy beach access, and a private picnic table area near the sand dunes, which was such a nice touch. The pool and hot tub area were amazing, especially with the bridge across the middle—it really adds to the experience.

All in all, this was an exceptional stay.

The room was clean and spacious. The lobby was very comfortable and I loved all the lawn games and table games. Sad that it was too cold for the pool/beach but they looked lovely. Loved that we were able to check out bikes to ride around the island. The free breakfast was a nice touch but only basic breakfast offerings...but the food at the restaurant was fabulous. We went two different nights and were not disappointed. Overall, a great experience for a reasonable price. I'd come back again if I'm ever in the area.

It's a decent hotel, but there's a bunch of minor things that make it not great. Paid for a king bed, but received a queen. Paid for a ocean view, but got a pool view. The shower has a large metal drain that echoes through adjacent rooms. Also, the breakfast is not great. Additionally, there's extra daily fees.

Check your room type.....

We booked an ocean view, I called to confirm it was ocean view. When we arrived and got to our room it WAS NOT. The balcony upgraded room I asked for (rm 211) looked at the roof, when you sat in the chairs provided you couldn't see the ocean either. You had to stand on the chair and lean over railing at an angle to see the water. I immediately went back downstairs and asked for another room. We spent 4 nights here, the first night in the awful room. They moved us the next day, to room 411, but not until after we spent our afternoon waiting for the room to get ready instead of sight seeing. The staff was helpful, female bartender and chair and umbrella guy at beach were very knowledgeable. It was a really stressful way to start vacation.

I liked that this hotel was right on the beach and provided chairs and umbrella for day use. The staff was very friendly and approachable. They provided everything we needed. The hotel was clean and the grounds were well kept. It really felt like a resort.
The only thing I would change would make sure the sleeper sofas are clean (there was goldfish crumbs under the mattress pad) and clean the shower heads.
We would definitely stay there again.

Room for improvement

We were highly looking forward to our Residence Inn stay at Jekyll Island. The grounds outside the hotel were beautiful, the entrance and check in went smoothly. After gaining access to our room we noticed several issues we thought need more attention to detail- first off the amount of hair still hanging on the walls in the shower gave us a ick feeling of inadequate cleaning. The seals surrounding the showers had a large amount of visible black mold. Several drawers in the room were broken, with the handles falling off, and consistently sliding out, leading us to run into them in the dark- causing bruises and cuts especially dangerous with young children staying in the room. Small beetles/ baby roaches were found in our bags, and climbing on the walls in the corner next to windows.

By the 3rd day the pool was not clean- hair, beetles, and palm tree debris was floating in the pool- as the groundskeepers were trimming the trees.

As for breakfast- if you are gluten or dairy intolerant bring your own breakfast. There are not any alternatives. Despite having a “Starbucks sold here” cafe the coffee was TERRIBLE! If you find you like actual espresso and drinkable coffee- it’s well worth your trip to take a bike to Wake Up Coffee across from the Mosaic Museum.

Aside from these imperfections- we did appreciate the free sand toys and pool floats that guests could utilize. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

The bad:Our room need repair badly, there was a circular patch that was falling off the wall which was right next to the electrical box which my child was very interested in, the kitchen did not come with a broom/dustpan which was needed for cleaning, rug was coming apart from the wall in several places in the bedroom, toilet paper was HORRIBLE so be sure to bring your own also paper towels the same, and the trash can in the kitchen is tiny which is bad considering they only clean every other day and that tiny 6/8 gallon gets filled up quick when you cook! Also they had issues with the terminal so took them 20 minutes to get checked in. Internet did have a few issues connecting the 2nd day we were there but was fine after that.housekeeping only leaves 2 towels so be prepared to ask for a 3rd, and check your ice bucket as ours was cracked, we learned when he tried to get ice and it leaked all over the counter

The Good: the room came with pots/pans, silverware, plates, cups, and cooking utensils. The outside of the property was very nice with cornhole, the pool, lots of sitting areas both inside and out. The boardwalk was nice walking to the ocean everyday with showers right at the pool. Full breakfast was definitely a perk of Residence in : bagels, oatmeal, waffles, eggs, bacon or sausage, fruit, milk and yogurt.

Overall the outside property and staff made up for the room issues. However we won’t be staying there again.

Lack of breakfast food

Enjoyed the hotel, breakfast went from 6-10. Stayed for 3 days when ariving at 9:15 each day the kitchen staff stopped making food as if breakfast was over. This happened everyday. More hotel gurmest showing up to eat with limited food. They also stop stocking milk.

I complained in which they had a discussion in the kitchen and began making more food and bringing out milk. Frustrating!!!

Why each day do they stop making food 45 min early??

Wonderful location and hotel, great breakfast!

Love this hotel and its location! Staff is always great. Bartenders, waitstaff at restaurant and food manager were all awesome! Food and drinks are great! Rooms are huge and breakfast was one of the best free hotel breakfast I've ever had! Very dog friendly and the pups had a great time. My only issue was that the pool is usually heated and I was looking forward to swimming. That is one of the main reason I booked this hotel and there was no notice or signs that the pool heater was not working.

We had no issues with the room, the amenities, or staff. Our first huge issue was reserving a balcony ocean view room and being placed in a first floor patio room next to the pool door with a view of sand dunes. No balcony, no ocean view, not what we reserved. The balcony rooms were booked so they couldn’t move us and didn’t offer a discount or partial refund.
Second surprise was the $30 per day resort fee on top of what we paid through Expedia. Beware, we feel defrauded.
