Top St. Marys Hotel Reviews

Amelia Hotel at the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"It is a great location and people that work there are very nice. Love my stay there. Close to everything and the beach and ocean. Be back next year for sure. Thank you very much."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Jekyll Island

8/10 Good

"Overall, our stay was pleasant and the hotel met our basic needs. The room was clean and comfortable, although the property could use some updating in certain areas. The staff was friendly and accommodating. While there were no major issues, the experience was fairly average and didn’t quite stand out compared with other hotels we’ve stayed at. It was fine for a short stay, but we may explore other options for our next visit."

Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely adore this little sliver of paradise. The rooms are clean and spacious, the beach is calm and beautiful, and the restaurant is always delicious. We loved the sweet lady that does the morning coffee at the cafe upstairs and remembered her from last year’s visit. The front desk were all so kind and helpful during our stay, and even granted us a little earlier of a checkin for our birthday weekend! Because of all of this, we come back year after year. Such a great little place to stay!"

Omni Amelia Island Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing birthday surprise for my husband and he loved it!!! We had the best time can’t wait to come back ! And the staff was amazing!!!!!"

"Our room was very clean. The breakfast was as good as you could expect to get at any hotel or motel. All in all an excellent stay."

Surf and Sand, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good

"Everything was clean but my room was musty smelling. The bikes were great because they were free but not well maintained."
