Nice and close to the Beach
Only one luggage cart for entire hotel. There should not be a charge for Parking when you are staying at the hotel.
Beds are doubles not queens but they were comfortable.
Breakfast was excellent. Bottles of waters or some sort of beverage upon checking in would be nice, however, there is a Circle K directly beside the hotel that we walked over to for drinks and food.
Nice walking distance to the beach.
The lighthouse nearby is only open one day a week so we weren’t able to tour or go on the grounds.

Very nice, affordable hotel near beach
Really enjoyed staying at this hotel. The location was perfect! About a block from the beach and next to a wonderful restaurant with outdoor seating. Right next to Fort Clinch State Park (loved it!). It was off season, so the price was great. Would definitely stay here again.

Deceptiveness...
The parking situation was DISHONEST. It was NEVER mentioned that parking was not free. I did not realize this until I received my bill. It's a nice tactic though when trying to deceive people who are booking online... I definitely will not be staying here again... This was for a business trip.

This was a good stay. Super cute and I know they are in the works of some remodeling since it sold and rebranded. Unfortunately the elevator was so sketchy and we were nervous every time we had to use it. The room was great except it looked like the fridge leaked at one point and it deteriorated the wood underneath where it was sitting on. The staff at the desk was great, but we tried to relax by the pool and heard two employees get into it. Yes, the employees was flaky, however they knew we were by the pool and continued the loud and awkward unprofessional conversation in front of us so we left.

Overall okay
Overall not bad. I was not impressed by the high pet fee compared to other properties and the parking fee is something that was not listed when I booked or I would not have chosen this hotel. A similar hotel right down the beach does not charge a parking fee and their pet fee was $25 per night making it half what this one was for a small dog. Overall it worked for our stay but unfortunately due to the cost for what it is we will not choose it again. Also we checked the breakfast photos online to be sure our children had something they would eat only to go out both days and see the pancake machine not stocked to use which was the only item our littlest would have eaten. Also disappointing.

Everything was perfect….only thing I found disappointing was breakfast. It ends at 9:30 which is a little too early for people on vacation who would like to sleep in. I did go eat this morning but it was not the best. Sausage patties were disgusting honestly. I did still appreciate having something available though. Overall, lovely hotel & would stay again.

Property said it was pet friendly but when I arrived they told me there was a weight limit Of 35 pounds and charged me extra $50. Not cool. Weight limit should have been on the website. Will not be staying here ever again.
