“very good”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

We have been to Jekyll Island many times.We have stayed at different places on the island through the years.We have stayed at this one twice now,this time getting the "Superior Guest Room" which is ocean front.The room configuration is great,with a nice sitting area next to the bed
area.Could use a few updates(shower faucet)and the bed mattresses/spring are about worn out.
We stayed in room number 216.We will go back here again but requesting a different room because of the beds.We usually go here during Thanksgiving week due to rates, which are pretty good this time of the year.BTW--Second floor offers better view of the ocean.

Room Tip: Second floor rooms have better view,check out beds first thing when checked in.

Dear larry2012rush,

We were very pleased to see your post here with another positive experience at Oceanside Inn and Suites. We were glad you selected the Superior Room, which offers a private balcony or patio compared to the Standard Oceanfront Guestroom. In addition to the extra square footage, they all offer two televisions as well. Thanks so much for your feedback. We look forward to hosting you again very soon.

Regards,

Jason Smith

“Trip to Jekyll”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

We brought our daughter and son in law for a family weekend and stayed at Oceanside Inn & Suites. We had an awesome visit and the employees there are fantastic and do everything they can to make sure we are happy. Everything is always clean and the staff are friendly and are always happy to see us. At the front desk we always look for ROSE as she is more than an employee, she is our FRIEND!!! Also this trip we met Teoria and she was so nice and sweet and ready to do anything to see that all went great for us. Another wonderful employee is LINDA in the restaurant, she is the best waitress anywhere! This trip we got a package deal and it was great especially the gift kit. We will be back for sure in the spring. Thanks for the wonderful visit. Diane Cook

Room Tip: We always ask for the Lanai room.

“Relaxing getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

Perfect location oceanfront suite with hotub.Staff very friendly, meals were reasonbly priced; the Georgia shrimp n grits was delicious. The grounds were neatly groomed and very clean. Live music Saturday night made for a relaxing yet fun time.

Room Tip: Rooms 100 thru 112 are better choice as away from main areas

“Disappointed”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

here were several issues we had during our shourt stay here last weekend. The room next door had two dogs that barked throughout the night, the confirmation email stated that we would be in a room with a bath tub however we were placed in a handicap accessible room with open shower, and even though we paid an extra $20 for a late checkout we awoke to a loud noise and shaking room due to sharing a wall with housekeepings laundry room. It was just a short anniversary trip and we still had a great time but were let down by Oceancide Inn and Suites,

Room Tip: Stay away from room 817. It shares a wall with housekeepings laundry room!

Dear JoeBates11,

We were very troubled to see your comments posted. It sounds like you were just here overnight, and probably did not wish to report any disturbances while you were here. We sincerely regret the unpeaceful night of rest on our otherwise quiet island. Please contact me personally before your next visit. I'd like to make it up to you in some small way.

“Oceanside Inn and Suites is my favorite Jekyll Island family hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This hotel is perfect for families or anyone who loves nature. The ocean can be viewed from almost every room, the dolphins jump frequently, and the deer graze right out by the ocean. The pool is oceanfront and perfect for adults and children. The staff is fabulous and super friendly. Be sure to ask to meet Rose when you go! She is the BEST!! We have been coming to this hotel for 50 years and I LOVE it! It is older and has a few quirks but the benefits outweigh anything negative that could be said.
