We just spent the weekend at the Island Inn on St. Simons Island. The inn exceeded my expectations. The room was clean and comfortable. The pool area was gorgeous and we actually opted to return from the beach early to sit beside the pool. Being the beach bums that we are...this means the pool and surrounding area was REALLY inviting!... More

Although this hotel is not near the beach, it is located in a secluded, shady and quiet area. It's about a mile from the Epworth conference center and easily accessible as you enter the island. It has a nice pool with large hot tub. The rooms facing the pool area have a lovely view. A continental breakfast is provided in... More

We booked this place for two reasons. First, the view of the pool and patio was so inviting with the gazebo. Second, the price was cheap, compared to everything else. It seems to be an old structure but the room was clean and there was coffee, ironing board, iron, blow dryer; bed was ok, but nothing to brag about. There... More

This hotel need a little TLC in the rooms. We had to change rooms because of the smell of smoke. They don't have enough none smoking rooms. The rooms need to be update, they are old and smell. The pool area is very nice.

Visited the Island inn for a Wedding and was very pleased with the service. The Island Inn was very pretty, quiet and picturesque. The breakfast was great and the beach was wonderful. I would stay at the Island Inn again in the future.

My husband and I stopped at St. Simon's for 3 nights recently. We travel with a small dog and booked a dog friendly room when making our reservation. When we arrived there was barely anyone else staying there and we were assigned their one and only pet friendly room. It was located on the back side of the motel. That... More

You have to drive to everything. I was in room 108, corner on the front. Bed was comfy but pillows were awful. They were small square couch throw pillows. Took all four to make a decent pillow. I really didn't have a problem with the room. I wouldn't stay there again just because of location.

This is an older place. Some would call it charming or quirky. At the end of a cul de sac it's quiet and out of the way. Why its called Main Street I cant imagine. Some people will like the location, others won't. With a car its just minutes away from the action, without a car you probably wouldn't be... More

I visit the Island Inn (formerly the Best Western) once a year on business. There have been ZERO upgrades to the rooms in several years. (The bathrooms were renovated a few years ago). The beds are old and hard as a rock. In addition, they quoted me one price on the telephone but tried to charge me a higher rate... More
