    Arrival at Ocean Lodge Resort was easy and appealing. It's one block back from the Oceanside but still a very short walk to the beach . Rooms are spacious with ornate vintage decor . Everything is very clean and love the look. But, the air conditioner doesn't work, the ceiling fan has no power. They tried to double bill us for the room even when showing them our credit card where it had been paid ... This started as a 5 star review , but it dropped . For Ladonna she needs to find another job because management didn't help and was to busy talking on her cell phone to help solve a problem which could have been handled by checking the deposits and reconciling... resorts should be handled better

    The reception desk attendant is rude and unaccommodating, no coffee anywhere except the machine in the room that takes forever to heat up, check out is at 11 and they charge $100 for 11:30 late checkout. The rooms are nice but the operations team squanders it with bad service.

    This isn't my trash.  Was here when I got here.  Disgusting.  I am very disturbed.

    Very disappointed- very expense- but gross. The room has trash in it when I arrived. Trash with leftovers vers from previous guest. Additionally a wet towel was on the floor - the ceiling ac unit was "leaking". Absolutely disgusting. I have visited the restaurant here for many years. I was so excited to be able to stay. What a disappointment. I have left messages with answering service. I asked for my room to be moved. Was told they could move me for one night to a more "expensive" room, but would have to move back the next day. Really? A filthy room with garbage also on the floor of the room.

    We had a disgustingly dirty room when we arrived. It's unacceptable normally but even worse during a pandemic. There was throw up, food, a binky, a bowl of cereal spilt down the side of the couch, a used paper towel and food under the cushions, smeared food on the couch, floor and tables, someone else's open bags of food over the microwave and an air filter so old and grey that the air conditioner had a warning to change the filter. Plus on top of everything there was a funky smell and a poor working air conditioner. My husband and I went out and bought cleaning supplies, wipes, mop etc. because there were no more rooms, it was our 30th anniversary and the cleaning crew had gone home already. We couldn't wait for the morning. The next morning a sweet cleaning lady, Gloria, who was not there the day before gave it another cleaning, discovered more disgusting things and found it appalling herself. Management on property were slow to respond and 48 hours later when we were checking out, nothing acceptable had been done. We contacted Kees directly on AirBnB and they have promised a refund. We hope they keep their promise.

    This place is absolutely beautiful. A couple of years ago (though it's still fresh in my mind), I came here for a Valentine's weekend....wait for it....by myself. Before you start feeling all sorry for me, it ended up being a good time. Coming here alone was not the original plan however my room was already booked and I couldn't get a refund since I was using a voucher I bought from one of the travel discount websites. So I made the most out of it and took some me time. The hotel itself and the rooms look exactly like the photos. Exactly. Now this isn't necessarily my style but I still loved it. The rooms are very heavily decorated in an European style and quite luxurious. I felt like a queen, as cheesy as that sounds. The suites are huge with a large kitchen, living room, balcony and attached bedroom that has one of the biggest and most comfy beds I've ever slept in. Oh, and their jacuzzi tub was ah-mazing! I can't remember if it was just part of my deal but my made-to-order breakfast was included and it was awesome. I loved having my breakfast in their cozy dining room each morning. The service was always top notch and friendly. The hotel itself isn't right on the water but it's only a short walk. And if you get up to the top of the hotel, it has some amazing views. Unfortunately I didn't end up having dinner up top so I can't comment on the food (though the menu looked amazing). Unfortunately, St. Simon's was dead this time of the year (at least I hope it's not like that year-round). It was a ghost town so during the day, I'd do a lot of shopping (I'd venture out into the nearby towns) and would jog on the beach. At night, I tried a dive bar but it was a disappointment and though I tried, I couldn't find anything better. So nightlife was a complete bust. I'm not sure I'll ever return seeing as I live in Charleston and sorry, but there's nothing St. Simon's can offer me that Charleston doesn't have. Plus, the regular rates for this hotel are a bit pricey so I'd definitely recommend looking online for a discount. But if you're wanting to visit a coastal city or you're looking for a romantic getaway, I'd most certainly recommend this hotel.

    We went specifically to see Timmy Akins play outside on the rooftop. We will defiantly go back when he plays again at this location.

Someone else might complain about a leaky faucet in the room's kitchen sink but that is reportable and fixable. The front desk, kitchen and cleaning staff were all pleasant. They have a bright area for breakfast and a lounge for people to hang out in. The breakfast selection looks like the typical offerings in other similar hotels and yet when I tasted the omelets (typically dry and tasteless)-- they were soft and tender! The one bedroom room was nice and spacious. The possible downside is that it is near the airport. Having said that, we have not heard anything during the night.

The pool wasn't cleaned until Friday, and most of the breakfast items on during the week were cold or stale. The front desk attendant during the week was not friendly and seemed more focused on her phone than the guests. They advertise s'mores from 6-9 PM, but she didn't put anything out until someone complained -- and even then she only set out a single tiny square of chocolate per kit. It's a small thing, but if a hotel offers an amenity, it should be done properly. The gentleman working Friday night handled it the right way with two squares and was actually friendly. I also don't think they shampooed the carpets since being built, there were stains on our room carpet & when I walked to together ice & came back to our room the bottom of my feet were black. Overall, the stay was okay, but the service and attention to detail were disappointing for a Hilton brand.

It's located directly across the street from the historic lighthouse and museum. It's close to the beach, pier, and many popular shops, restaurants, and bars. Everything is within walking distance. This is an old and quaint hotel that feels almost like a bed and breakfast. It's a "condo hotel" where many of the rooms are owned by different people. Therefore, each of the rooms is unique and no two rooms are alike. Some rooms are nicer than others. We stayed in room 102, which is right next to the front desk, office, and lobby restroom. If I had known this, I probably would have selected a different room. The door, walls, floor, ceiling, etc. do not insulate sound well, so we heard everything. We heard people checking in, checking out, walking through the hallways, turning on the sink upstairs, turning on the bathtub/shower upstairs, and most of all, people opening and shutting the door to the office next door. One morning, while getting ready, I was able to clearly hear an entire conversation of two people who had stopped to chat outside our door. Our room had basic amenities. We had a small kitchen area with a sink, microwave, and fridge. There was no closet, but an armoire. I think many rooms were like this. There was a sticky substance on the floor in front of the kitchen sink that was there when we arrived. It was never cleaned during our stay. There were also chocolate chips underneath our bed. The bedspread seemed a bit tattered and musty. The furniture in the room was generally worn. My allergies acted up during our stay inside and I'm not sure what it was (e.g. dust or mold). I visited other rooms and they were not like our room. They felt bigger, brighter, and cleaner. They also had better views. I recommend booking a room on the second floor. Our room only had a view of an adjacent slanted rooftop. Basic rooms start at about $175 per night after taxes and fees. This is expensive, but you are paying for one of the most prime locations on the island. There was cable TV, but unfortunately no HD. There was free Internet Wi-Fi and it was decently fast. No password required, which was nice. The cord on our phone was about to break at one end, so if I did not hold it in place, calls would be extremely staticky. Cell phone reception is poor at the hotel. My friends and I had AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile and none of us had more than 1-2 bars. The signal gets better outside. Outside, there's covered parking, which is a plus. There's also a small pool. Inside, the lobby is small. The front desk has a water dispenser. Over our weekend stay, the dispenser ran dry twice and wasn't refilled. Coffee is available too. Continental breakfast is served between 7am and 10am, but I didn't get the opportunity to try it. The breakfast area is tiny. During my stay, I often thought of what Anthony Melchiorri of Travel Channel's Hotel Impossible would say. The staff was very nice and polite, from the front desk folks to the housekeeping ladies.
