I was here for a team retreat the second week of January, and was more than satisfied with this hotel. There's direct access to the beach, and a nice looking pool/jacuzzi outdoors. There's room was definitely renovated at some point over the past couple of years. The rooms were clean and spacious. The doors aren't completely soundproof, but the walls do a good job. This place is pet friendly for a fee, and there's a pet waste station. There's a bar/restaurant on site, and weekly activities such as yoga and bike rentals. It's a family friendly hotel. Since it was off season for the beach, things were a little quiet, but I recommend visiting in the off season! Going to the beach in the winter is always super cool. I'd definitely stay here again.

EV chargers for the vehicles Comfortable and clean rooms Inviting lobby Large pool Mini Starbucks in the lobby Restaurant booths with tv in them Games in the lobby and outside for the kids Walk out the back door and walk to the beach Outdoor patio with restaurant and good drinks Games and seating on patio I did not have to leave the hotel or island the entire time I was there. Friendly staff Overall great

This was our second experience here. The first time was much better. Upon arrival our room wasn't ready yet so we got a cocktail that was overly priced for one being a mocktail and the pina colada was way too icey but I didn't send back. We did receive a complimentary upgrade that was much appreciated but the distance was too far for my family member that has mobility issues so they offered us a wheelchair to use for our stay and the second night transitioned us into a better distanced room for their needs. This time of year is insanely buggy and the gnats were HORRIBLE. The pool was covered on the second day in dead gnats floating in the water. The room plants need to be ripped up as they contribute to gnats on the balconies. The beds must have been traded out because they are HARD as a rock. There was a gentleman in the front appearing to be a manager I don't get his name- he was great. Marriott needs to train their staff on helping those in wheelchairs and mobility issues. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE coming to a door that doesn't automatically open. Please help, it's the kind human thing to do... it takes 5 seconds to hold the door and give someone a smile. We probably won't be back to this location based off of the majority of the staff lack of compassion & the beds being rock hard. After spending $300+ in the off season nightly if doesn't sit well.

After 1hr still hot at 11:30 pm hot hot hot - stay clear !!!

NO AC!!!! HOT!!!! Ac has ecomode which means you have to be in the room for it to work. Paid $300+ and after driving 6hrs get to a room at 10:45pm in August in Georgia and the room is scorching hot upon arrival at 78-79. After 45 min it's still 75 in here. Then asked and they said if you leave the room goto beach etc during day AC will shut off and takes about 1-2 hrs after you return to cool. Went down talked to front staff about switching to cooler room checked another ocean front room and sam Unbelievable. Not acceptable .

Location is key. Right on the beach and zillions of sand dollars to scavenge. Check in was ok. Not very hospitable. The bartenders made up for it. They were excellent. What you should know is that there are mosquitos and gnats everywhere. You MUST, and with emphasis on MUST, have bug spray. Use cans of it! This Island is a marsh and you will get eaten alive. It is very unfriendly to humans. Hotel rooms should come with bug spray on this Island, automatically. You cannot even enjoy the pool/hot tub. It is painful but beautiful at the dame time. Walking to/from car us a risk!!!!

Stains

Very underwhelming experience at the Courtyard. Based on my visit, this hotel is in serious need of being updated. The carpeting in my room was covered in stains. When I was in the living room/sitting area, the remote wouldn't work on the TV, so I went to try and figure out what was happening. The mounting at the top of the bracket was busted, where the TV was hanging forward, and it was pushing the bottom of the TV in where the receptor couldn't pick up the remote signal. I tried to straighten the TV out, but it was completely broken and I'm not on Marriott's payroll to fix things. In the bathroom, there was a picture hung too high, so they rehung the picture a few inches lower. They just left the holes in place from the original screws, no attempt to patch, and it just looks janky. I bumped this review up one star, to a two star overall, based on the wonderful views that you get from a generously sized deck coming off of the oceanfront room.

We made reservations at this hotel as a getaway for Thanksgiving it's been a few years. We arrived Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving at check in the representative asked me for a credit card for incidentals, Upon getting in the room we were surprised that the room was not clean, stains on the carpet food on the floor, hair, just dirty we took pictures and went to the front desk and they said that they should have cleaned better. They did not even get us a clean room we just tried to deal with what we had and ended up going to sleep. The next morning I opened the curtains to see the beach and turned the sunlight showed just how dirty the room was. I again went to the front desk and told them so e decided to go to the free breakfast they had boxed eggs that were not cooked all the way and leftover shrimp according to the staff that bacon hash browns were not ordered it was terrible the staff in the cafeteria area was less than happy with the manager which they spoke out in front of the guest, We went to our room and the breakfast made us sick, Last time we visited they had Thanksgiving dinner in the front restaurant a real nice setting this year it was moved to a conference room and it looked like they forgot a few things especially for $54 a plate so we got our money back and went to the pub down the road ended up having potato soup when I got back to the Marriott I went to the desk and asked to leave early they allowed me to check out especially with all the issues. We left I would not recommend the Marriott on Jekyll to anyone

Dock to beach from Courtyard

First time to Jekyll Island, GA. Nice property and staff. They gave us a hotel credit to offsite the Island's mandatory daily resort fee. All the amenities for stay on the beach can be found at this Courtyard-eat, drink, relax, sleep...repeat.

The staff is very friendly and always ready to answer your questions. They have plentiful of lounging areas in the lobby if your room is not ready. They have a cafe that proudly serves Starbucks until the late afternoon, which really comes in handy in the mornings. The firepits are a lovely place to sit as the sun sets, it's easy to get to the pool and beach, and the beach view rooms are beautiful! The pool chairs do have a lot of bird poop on them, which is unfortunate, and parking can be super difficult. These are the only things keeping this from a perfect 5 star stay!

Clean and updated building, parking lot, and surrounding businesses. Valet or self parking available. Complimentary EV charging is available: 2 in the middle of parking lot and 3-4 along wall. Lots of bikes available at this hotel. Hallways can be long to walk to a room, ask for a room close to elevators if walking far is a factor. Common area Walls and floors were clean. Room had an updated coastal decor with plenty of wardrobe space, safe, and small refrigerator. Bed was comfortable. Large tv to watch the mbb tourney at night. Pros: located across the street from market, shopping, and dining. Microwave located near ice machine. Cons: mobile key did not work, had to call and wait on bellman. When booking room, pictures show interior side view room not exterior (more details needed on website). Shower floor not clean. Balcony had lots of bird poop, used a towel to sit on furniture and didn't touch anything else.

We recently had an awesome stay at this Residence Inn on Jekyll Island. My check-in was smooth and…read moreAri was excellent with a warm welcome and the room assignment. The room was clean and well-equipped. The only challenge was opening the room door as well as properly securing it. Robert in the engineering department showed us the trick in operating our entry and exit and we were able to get this resolved. The guest common areas were clean, especially the pool area with a good stocking of pool towels. The check-in/registration area as well as the lobby area, the Shore restaurant, the marketplace, and the Starbucks area were all kept in clean and stage-ready condition. Parking was not a problem and was more than adequate. The location of this Residence Inn is absolutely awesome as it is Just a quick 30 second walk to one of the most amazing beaches on the Atlantic seaboard. The breakfast, that is for Residence Inn guests only, is at the end of the Residence Inn main hallway (to the R of the Lobby) in the breakfast buffet area. Plan on attending at the beginning of the breakfast service hours as it does tend to get quite active. Also, don't forget your room key as well as your wristband as these are required to access the breakfast room. Complimentary transportation is provided by the Residence Inn/Courtyard Van or by the six pack golf cart. Both are operated by really friendly associates and are offered 'on demand' through the front desk or a quick call back if you're returning from your destination. The normal routes of this complimentary service is to the Jekyll Island historic area or the Jekyll Island shopping plaza. Be sure to take care of the drivers on each trip and the recommended gratuity is $2.50 to $5 dollars per person. We utilized the service for transportation to the Jekyll Island historic area, which, in this area I recommend you should start at the Mosaic Museum. At the Mosaic, you can get the Landmark trolley that takes you on a guided tour through the entire historic area exploring one of the cottages in depth. Peter was absolutely awesome, friendly, and informative when taking us to the Mosaic museum from the RI. Overall, a great stay and we definitely plan to be back in the future. A++

This place has been brilliant. Other than the place having entirely too many parking lot spaces…read morereserved for electric cars, the place is perfect. The continental breakfast is the best I've ever seen (scrambled eggs, grits for us coastal dwellers, hash browns for everyone else, sausage, cereal for the kids, oatmeal for anyone who wants a warm belly, waffle makers, bagels and English muffins, fresh fruit, coffee, hot water for tea, juice, & refrigerated milk). If the free breakfast doesn't suit you, there is also a Starbucks kiosk in the lobby for anyone who must get their fix. The grounds are well maintained, the rooms are spotless, the lobby feels welcoming. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful (we kept hearing a beeping in our room and the night audit person was upstairs helping us look for in within a handful of minutes... our room had a dishwasher which was closed but had a function that needed to be canceled (I didn't even realize our room came with a dishwasher, I suspect they don't all have those but NICE). There are also staff in the breakfast room who will pick up your dirty dishes when you are done eating. The property is on the beach. Currently, you cannot turn on patio lights cause the turtles are laying nests and bright lights may confuse them.
