Seafarer Inn & Suites, Ascend Hotel Collection

5/5 Excellent

"We stayed at this location for two nights, and it was fantastic! It is a great location, just across the street from the beach (but not an ocean view). We had a slight problem with the AC, and they immediately moved us to an upgraded and better room without hesitation. (We did not have to ask.) Relative to other nearby properties, I doubt there is any better value for the money."

Night at the beach

"Its and older hotel with a good location on the beach and walking distance from the center. The room is simple and has seen better days, but it was clean. The AC worked well but blasted the person sleeping closer to the window. Good breakfast, coffee/tea 24/7, free parking (you pay $10 per car to enter the island)."

Holiday Inn Resort Jekyll Island, an IHG Hotel

5/5 Excellent

"Great pet friendly stay! Complimentary bike rental was a nice surprise. Our stay included free coffee bar and breakfast, both nice. Outdoor cabana cushions needed cleaning from birds stopping there. Pool was closed for renovation, but will be nice when finished. I would stay again. "
