“Last minute booking”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

On a roadtrip from Williamsburg down to Florida ...we found this place through the Tourist office on the island by default rather than intent.
The reception staff were very accomodating and whilst the continental breakfasts didn't have much choice ... there was no lacking in quantity. Very necessary when travelling with an always hungry cyclist!
The location of this Inn is so handy to the local shopping and restaurants and given that we were from the UK we were made welcome to logging onto their Internet to check mails etc to avoid the UK Internet charges. All in all a lovely 3 night stay.

“Nice location in Saint Simons”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

My family of four had plenty of room in the king / queen suite. The front desk was helpful and delightful. The lemon water was a nice touch. The wifi connection was strong enough to allow us to do office work. The pool was salt water and cool in October but the kids enjoyed it. Some of the room furnishings were worn but everything was clean. The breakfast was simple but there are such great restaurant options within walking distance that we had planned to eat out anyway. We would definitely return to this hotel if we go back to Saint Simons.

“Rates are going up, but not the hotel service”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

We've stayed here several times in recent years. Lately, the rates have increased substantially. I still like the place okay. It is compact and you can park under the building and that's a plus. About our most recent stay: When we went to our room on check-in, we saw that the door to the room would not lock when closed. We went down to desk, and they gave me a metal old-style key and said to use it for the deadbolt on the door. Okay, no big deal. But then my wife saw that there was no hair dryer in the room. Back down to the desk, and they decided to move us to another room. When we got there, no coffee, AND one of the key cards would not unlock the door. Back down again. Things finally fixed, but not one "I'm sorry" or anything like that. Do they consider this good service? Some people might like to know that there are no exercise facilities at all at the hotel. If you want to do a treadmill or stationary bike indoors you are out of luck.

“Ocean Inn and Suites Review”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 5, 2012

The room was nice, but dirty. There were fingernail clippings on the bed post, somebody left their glasses on the floor and they were not picked up even after housekeeping had cleaned....I use that word loosely. There was no coffee by the maker, called the front desk and we were told to come down and get some. THEN we were double charged for the room, and when I spoke to Stephanie, she was EXTREMELY rude, told me I was wrong, and then threw me on hold for 7 minutes waiting for a manager that I had to call back to speak with! It has been 4 days, and we STILL have not seen a refund for the double charge. NEVER staying at this hotel again. EVER. There are much better places on this Island, don't waste your time.

Bob V, Manager at Ocean Inn and Suites, responded to this review

We at Ocean Inn & Suites are so sorry and somewhat surprised to hear your comments about your stay. We pride ourselves in the fact that we inspect every room after it is cleaned and prior to the guest opening the door after they check in. We always mention at check in that we have 24 hour desk service. We encourage our guests to give us immediate feedback once they go to their room. Unfortunately we were not given the opportunity to fix something we were not aware of. As to our staff, you and I spoke on the phone and stated that if you had any problems, questions and or concerns to please contact me. I unfortunately have not spoken to you subsequently so again, I have not been given the opportunity to fix something I was not aware of. In regards to the case of the double charge, we were made aware of the problem 2 days after your stay. Within 24 hours we credited your account, emailed the proof of adjustment and offered to fax the information to you. Depending on the credit card company and your bank, credits may take up to 10 days to process. If you have not received your credit at this point, then you may want to contact your back. We hope that your travels will give us another chance to change your opinion and provide you an enjoyable stay.
