Out side of the property was dirty, trash cans over flowing, old falling down storage building within sight of outside of the room.
It took 30 min. to check in because the maintance man had the key machine, No sink in the bathroom, old worn out carpet.

There weren't any recent reviews so I wanted to give an update. The hotel rooms are clean but somewhat dated. Our room had 2 double beds and the sink was in the main room. A shower/tub and toilet were in a separate room. The room smelled a littler musty but was Ok otherwise. Free continental breakfast is in 2nd floor room overlooking ocean which is a great view to watch the sun come up. The options were unexpectedly large: 2 waffle makers, boxed cereals, fresh fruit, bagels, juiceboxes of OJ and apple, milk in cartons, and of course teas and coffeer. The hostess keeps things well stocked and is very helpful.
Hotel is right on oceanfront and has great beach access. We checked in late so we had a 1st floor room with no view but 2nd floor rooms must have nice views of ocean. Price was reasonable ($70). Hotel was pretty full that night with many people just passing thru like us but we still got a couple of hours on the beautiful beach. Would recommend hotel since there are not many choices these days on the island.

The reason to stay at Days Inn and Suites Oceanfront Resort in Jekyll Island is summed up in one word: Beach. If you are looking for a great walking beach with boardwalk accessibility from the hotel grounds, this is the place to stay. The suite was spacious and reasonable at $125 plus tax. To enjoy ocean views from your suite, you must stay on the 2nd floor; we had a nice balcony with table and chairs. The beds were comfortable and the hotel was quiet. They also provide a buffet breakfast included in the price. This is an old hotel, so expect that some aspects of the suite will look worn. Our suite was clean, however, and the shower/tub and bathroom were quite adequate. Be careful with booking in Jekyll, some hotels may be beach front but do not have a decent beach for walking or lounging. Days Inn does.

We stayed here for only one night after visiting the local waterpark. We had booked a standard room, but were upgraded to a 2 room suite on the second floor. It was clean and very large. Plenty of storage area if you were staying awhile, a small fridge, stovetop, bar sink, ect.
We especially liked the large balcony on the oceanside of the room.
As other reviewers have mentioned, the dunes do block the view of the beach (sand), but it's still a nice view if you are upstairs. A downstairs room, even the water view that you have from upstairs would be obstructed. (Photos attached.)
The front desk was friendly and helpful in helping us find the new GA Sea Turtle Center.
The breakfast was standard continental fare. fruit, baked goods, cereal and a waffle iron.
There were many families vacationing there and kids playing football and frisbee on the lawn having a great time. (Not too noisy though.)
We liked Zachry's close by (2 blocks) to eat.
It is definately a "beachy" vacation island. If you enjoy nature and biking and walking and relaxing on the beach, Jekyll is a good place to visit. They have a decent waterpark and a few other places to visit. If you want a ton of shopping and "touristy" stuff, you should probably look elsewhere.
