The staff were helpful the area is beautiful. The pool and outside area is wondrfuk The distance to the ocean and world class dining is amazing. However this location is under serious renovation and they don’t tell you that online. It was dirty and dusty due to the renovation. Overall the property is very dated and the renovation is welcome. Over priced in its current state.

They are in the middle of a renovation so it's noisy which is understandable. However, upon check in the room was dirty. I mean dirty. Hair in between the pillow and pillowcase. Mattress was stained and nasty. We had one of each towel in the room. The towels we did have were dirty. No kleenex, fridge was dirty, carts of trash left in the hall, and no parking. Staff is mostly unfriendly never looking up from their phones to greet you. No maintenance on staff or only on certain days. We had also booked a room with a balcony view. We got a view of a dumpster.The pool is nice but not maintained daily. It is close to the lighthouse, pier, and shopping square which is nice. Hopefully with the new renovation they will also obtain new leadership. However, with that said we will not return to find out. This property is very misrepresented on expedia.

The room was very dirty,after having a shower we walked across floor and found our feet were filthy from dirt on the floor. We told reception when we checked and and were told it was due to the hotel currently undergoing renovation, but the filth in the corners of the room was from long term accumulation not just building dust.

The complex is under construction so it had everything that went with that, but it was tolerable. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. All in all the stay was nice. However, after checkout, I noticed a charge on my account. When I called to inquire, they said it was due to a mattress soaked in urine. This was absolutely appalling to me, seeing how it was 2 adults and 2 teenagers. I always toss the beds when we check out of a hotel to make sure we aren't leaving anything behind, and I would've noticed such a thing. They were insistent and I'm extremely disappointed how it was handled. We travel quite a bit and have never had issues, even when my kids were babies and toddlers. When we checked out, the lady told us they were redoing the hotel to appeal more to couples and adults. So be cautious and aware of you have children.

Good location, easy covered parking.
This is a tired older property currently being renovated. Looks better in the listing pictures than in reality. Worn out sheets and towels. No maid service on our second day of a two day stay. Rooms floors were filthy. Pictures shows a towel I used for a quick foot mop. “Island view” from our “balcony” was of a construction dumpster.
Hopefully the property will improve after renovations.

The staff didn’t clean our room but other than that the place is clean. The building is little older and the decor is a little outdated but still clean and orderly. Staff was great and very kind. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool but most times I walked by, there were people enjoying it. Likely to stay again in the future.

Great location, the gentleman at the front desk when we arrived was very helpful and a great young man. The property is currently under construction, which we knew, still was a great stay. The pool could have been cleaner but there are a lot of trees around that I think effect this. Parking was easy and overall was a nice stay.

They are currently having some construction going on at the hotel. But the noise was never an issue. The location of the hotel cannot be beat! You can definitely tell that this hotel is not new, a bit outdated, and i'm a little rough around the edges.But perfect for a weekend getaway. Plenty of things to do without ever having to get back in your car, the lighthouse is across the street, stores, restaurants and bars all within walking distance.

Ok. Let me start by saying we made a reservation for 2 rooms. We did Not stay. The front desk person (Marcus) was great in helping us with refund and even looking up the phone number to other hotels. Now, why we didn’t stay. My room was quoted at somewhere around $240 total - I was charged $321 once I arrived. The place is undergoing renovations- which should include a bulldozer. Furnishings in room are dated and didn’t work in room 2. Room 1 had cleaning supplies left behind and a cleaning rag and hand warmer (?) between the sheets. Bathroom in room 1 was still dirty. Marcus moved us to another room where we found grass, dirt, and blood spots on those sheets. My brothers 2nd he got moved to had lamps that were not functioning. This was by far the- by far - worst experience as far as hotel I have ever had. I’m told they are processing our over priced refunds - my question is how is it possible I have to wait for this? Ocean Inn and Suites should remove themselves from Expedia and update their website - nothing is what it appears on site. Nothing.

The hotel is getting a complete renovation. It will be a very nice place when completed. If Their continental breakfast needs more options. Their housekeeper worked very hard when asked for service. Unfortunately only one person. The hotel location is ideal for walking to restaurants and beaches. Covered parking was a plus. It suited our needs.

The beds were clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean. Loved the balcony and the staff was really super nice and helpful. The property is still under renovation and it just looked junky. There was an old musty smell that I found was from the curtains. Do they ever get washed? Changed out? I did love that we were only a couple minute walk from the beach and super close to shopping and dining options. Probably will be a LONG time before we stay here again. Maybe the renovations will be done in a couple of years.

There’s very little parking available during busy times on the island, and we didn’t know until we arrived that this property was under construction. The hotel is older, but still ok. Everything was clean inside, but the pool needed to be vacuumed. Overall, it was fine, just not as nice as we had expected it to be for our anniversary trip.

We knew about the ongoing construction but that really was not a problem. The swimming pool needed to be cleaned. Understand some sand in the bottom being that close to the beach but not all the bugs and debris floating around the top. The waffle maker needed to be cleaned. My waffle had burned flecks all over one side and definitely made it not taste to good.

Other than that it was a good place to stay. A couple of the restaurants we wanted to try were right there within walking distance.

We planned to stay here for two nights, with our young children, but almost immediately things became uncomfortable. We had a check-in time of 4 and arrived at 4:05. We were told our room was still being cleaned and it would be around an hour before the room was ready. We went to the park across the street, and no more than 20 minutes were called back saying the room was ready. We walked back into the lobby, and were greeted by the man behind the desk, for the second time in 30 minutes. He had no idea who we were. Things felt off, but we checked into our room anyways. We got on the elevator, realizing the elevator goes straight from the parking garage to any of the floors, meaning anyone can access the hotel at any time. Again, with two young children, that was a safety concern. As we walked down the hall to our room, it was filthy from construction. The room was filthy, the balcony was filthy, and the pool was filthy. We had no choice but to stay one night and check out the following morning. There were cockroaches in the room, the fire alarms on our floor were taped over for painting, and the smell was irritating. The few times we needed assistance in the lobby, we would wait 10-15 minutes for the same man who checked us in to come up from the garage. Not sure what he had going on but it was very uncomfortable. Location was great, the building has incredible potential, but cleanliness, safety, and comfort matter more as parents. Super disappointed.

The Tv did not work; and the shower made an extremely loud high pitch noise as the warm water flowed thru the shower head causing me to have a head ache. At check in.. I informed the gentleman that processed my check in that there were guests making out in the pool that also had coors light beers at the pool area while swimming.. He proceeded to make a joke about joining them but to make sure to only touch the woman because he’s a Christian and he don’t swing that way to touch the man … I was extremely shocked and appalled and when he saw the expression on my face he then realized that I was Gay and then he apologized and went on to say how he has gay friends that’s he’s cool with and they get along great as long as they don’t make a pass at him or flirt with him but other than that it’s cool.. I changed the subject and informed him that I had booked 2 rooms , one for me and my adopted son who just completed his first year as a corporal sarget in the marines and one room for my brother and his wife.. we were in town for a fishing trip.. I am from the I usually stay at the light house inn and have been for several years… in fact I have personally become friends with the hotel manager and over the years she has watched my son grow up and become a marine.. however I needed 2 rooms for this trip and they only had one available because of a wedding.. so I booked the 2 rooms here at the ocean inn.. honestly it was a mistake staying there

The staff was wonderful! Robert made you feel like family. It was clean and a little outdated but they are under major renovations so next year it will be even better. The coffee was amazing and serve yourself any time of day with a machine that made lattes, cappuccinos, etc. Just a short walk to the beach and the pier village restaurants and shops. Very affordable.

Renovations have been going on for over a year and still not done. Our room was outdated, not a big deal, but the bed was rough and hard. The bed sheet would not stay on the bed, when I asked for a new sheet they said all of them do that. Breakfast is super small and the worst tasting. Or ac unit inside leaked on the couch. Shower had weak pressure and not very hot. The botched shower handle had to operate backwards. I would pay $40 a night to stay there not $180. Very over priced for nonremodled room. Very poor ownership.
The only good thing was great location. It would be great to see a new owner take this hotel to a new level with fair prices for the area.

The property will be lovely when renovations are completed.

The location was perfect. We rarely used the car. Good restaurants close by and lovely waterfront park right across the street. Construction continues inside but workmen not a problem. Our room was comfortable but dated. Never AC worked well. Pool was sparkling clean and inviting. Coffee machine available 24/7 was excellent. Breakfast minimal but did offer waffle machine, some cereal and muffin choices, milk and o.j. Covered parking garage on ground level. Lobby one floor up accessible by elevator. A generally quiet atmosphere during the day and always at night.

I was very disappointed with our stay. The hotel looked nothing like the photos advertised online. Upon arrival, the property felt dated, unclean, and had a stale, musty odor throughout.

Our room was not well-maintained. The sheets didn’t even fit the bed properly, which immediately gave the impression that cleanliness and attention to detail were lacking. When we turned on the heat, the smell coming from the air conditioning unit was awful and strongly resembled urine.

To make matters worse, the entire building was undergoing construction, something guests should be informed of before booking. The elevator was also out of service for an entire day, creating a major inconvenience.

The pool area was disappointing as well. There were fire ants around the pool, and I ended up with multiple bites on my feet.

The one positive aspect of this hotel is its location, which was convenient and close to everything we needed. However, with other options available nearby, I would strongly recommend choosing one of those instead. Unfortunately, this stay did not live up to the price, the photos, or the expectations set by the listing.

We arrived to a very easy to park location, and a very kind staff member at the front desk. He handed us a pamphlet of the nearby walkable attractions and restaurants. We entered the elevator and went up to the third floor to be astonished by the level of construction that was going on. There were unfinished floors, rooms missing doors revealing concrete grounds with power tools and unfinished work everywhere. We navigated the halls, covered in dust and missing trim, to our room. Upon entering, we immediately noticed that there wasn’t a central “big light” in the room, and that the kitchen sink (which had a crack in it), was not in the bathroom, but in the entryway. I went to put my bag on the bed, only to notice a large stain (8-10 inches in diameter) on the top blanket. I went down to the desk and let the staff member know about the blanket, to which he said I would have to change it myself as there were no other staff members on the premise and he couldn’t leave the desk. Fine.
I brought the new blanket to the room.
In our first night of sleep, my wife found several hairs in the sheets, and both of us quickly noticed that the fitted sheet itself would come undone from the mattress VERY easily. We also felt sand in the sheets despite not having gone to the beach yet. The second day, we took showers and upon turning the water on, it screamed like a dolphin.
The curtains had tears, the toilet seat had a crack, the bathroom ceiling had water damage and mold.

We were not told prior to our arrival or even when we checked in that the hotel was being renovated on every floor. We found out about the renovations when the elevator opened on our floor and we had to walk through all the work that was going on (painting, drilling, sawing, etc.) to get to our room at the other end of the hallway. We also did not have hot water for 24 hours until we and some other hotel guests went and complained. The water pressure in the shower was very poor and only came out of part of the shower head. While some staff were very nice, the woman that checked us in and out of the hotel was not friendly. We were never told about the amenities or activities in the surrounding area.

They were going through renovations so i understand some dust etc. When we got in the room we noticed blood spots on the chair and just covered with a towel. Don't walk on floors without shoes. We went to dinner. We had been driving all day and wanted to stay by the lighthouse. We got back from dinner around 10pm, exhausted. We had 2 queen beds, my cousin and myself. I pulled back my sheets and there were blood stain spots all over my sheets and hair. So I slept with my cousin in her bed, we were too tired. Decided to turn on the TV. Did not work. Would i stay again...after the blood stains on sheets...most likely not

This property was undergoing renovation during our stay. The hall was covered with protective cardboard and paint smell was noticeable. Our room was clean and comfortable and very large.

This hotel is going through renovation. It’s in a great location perfect walking condition outside. It looks very nice.
My room was terrible. I cannot recommend this hotel at this time. There were fruit flies coming out of the drains in the tub There was mold around the tub. It was dirty. the floors were dirty thick dust even on the Kleenex box. The curtains were inside outward, broken, and falling off the rods. Never washed There were cobwebs on the ceilings, but I had a great view. I was booked for three nights. Checked in on Friday in the room, I started investigating all the sheets as always due there were stains on the pillows with something on two of the pillow cases that looked caked on I wiped down the sink area for cleanliness for myself. I did not sleep at all Friday night
The floors in the bathroom area looked as if they have never been cleaned ever. Saturday morning I took pictures and showed the manager. They did not have another room to put me in and promised a refund. I booked through Expedia contacted Expedia to begin that process looked for
Another hotel and found one. Village inn and pub highly recommend. Now I am battling with Expedia I was only given a portion of my payment back just what the hotel received from
Expedia. Expedia is giving me the run around . I had to come out of my pocket for an extra hotel without a refund in full for the two nights I didn’t stay. I have never had this issue and hope no one else does

Parking was easy and located on the ground floor under the hotel. The location is very convenient to the downtown shops, restaurants and Pier. They are currently undergoing major renovations so we didn't get to see it fully open and running. Our room was not renovated yet. The room was spacious and beds very comfortable. It was somewhat dark and dated - so can't wait to see what the newly rennovated rooms will look like. The AC was a wall/ window like unit and didn't seem to run as much as we would have liked. (And obviously that style AC is loud). Hoping they plan to dd ceiling fans in the rennovations. Loved that we had a mini fridge and microwave to warm up leftovers right in our room.

Upon arrival, we learned that the hotel was in the middle of a major rennovation, resulting in a lot of dust. A ruptured water pipe resulted in no hot water throughout the entire hotel. We were offered a 100% refund so that we could find other lodging. But since this was spring break, the odds of finding a vacancy elsewhere were not favorable. They offered us a 30% refund if we wanted to stay in our reserved room (without hot water). We agreed to the 30% refund (they said the refund will be handled by Expedia). In spite of these unforseen issues, we enjoyed our stay. The room was large and comfortable and within walking distance of all that we wanted to see and do in St Simons Island.

We did get a email after booking there was construction going on which is understandable but the amount of construction the entire place should have been closed. There was drywall dust everywhere no one bothered cleaning it. The firealarm went off continuously front staff said just ignore it. One of the staff the family was running around screaming at night. Heard them telling their family not to drink the water because it was nasty. (So it’s okay for guests?) The room was filthy. For $200 plus a night I expect clean sheets at least. The room had broken furniture, mold on the ceilings. Dirty lampshades and bathroom. I heard the staff complaining about the owners multiple times, I would never recommend staying here to anyone.

We enjoyed our stay and I would stay here again. Looking forward to seeing it after renovations.
