This is a great place to stay. We stayed there the night before going to Cumberland island. The people at the desk were kind and helpful. The room was clean and had great character. The bed was comfortable. They had live entertainment on the patio. It was great because they had a good dinner restaurant, served a continental breakfast and we were able to order lunches for the hike! Loved how this hotel had everything.

Liked being down by the waterfront that was pretty clean. The restaurant saloon served great food. As expected with a historic hotel, the rooms were small with limited outlets room on the bedside table and no coffee in the room. Lovely porch rocking chairs. Be prepared to lug your suitcases upstairs. Bed was very comfy.

Okay place

Neat historical building, needs a bit of TLC and furnishing replacements. Biggest issue was the noise, our room was adjacent to the bar and there was an ice machine that was constantly being used until 3:00 AM, they would slam the door on it and it made it impossible to sleep.

Old Historic Hotel that needs upgrades

Historic hotel that needs upgrades. Service was very good and the bar and restaurant are great. However, the room needed to be painted, the linens were dirty upon arrival, the mattress was bad, and the bathroom needed to be upgraded. It's a 2 star place.

This is a historic hotel and my husband and I over the years have stayed the night on our way to camp at Cumberland Island. This time friends and I stayed before and after the island trip at the hotel. So we were able to better focus on the hotel. The beds were marvelously comfortable and the dining room and hotel staff were excellent. Thanks!
