We were locked out of our rooms at night with no one to contact and all of our stuff still in the room. We had to rent a hotel room elsewhere because there wasn't an after hours contact. Lisa and Bob said they "forgot" to provide the after hours contact information. If we are paying $400/night, we expect a certain level of service and this isn't it. Any hotel in the surrounding area is worth it over this place. The rooms are sub par and like others mentioned, breakfast is probably better at McDonald's. Save your hard earned money and go elsewhere.

The Amelia Schoolhouse Inn is a quaint boutique hotel. As a history teacher, I appreciated the old…read morearchitecture and school decor of the building. My husband and I stayed in room 9. The room and bathroom were very spacious and the ceiling was high. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. A continental breakfast was provided every morning. Upstairs, there was an ice machine and Keurig coffee maker which I appreciated as I brought my own K-cups from home. Also, our room had a mini-fridge and freezer combo. This was a plus due to being a gluten-free person and having to bring my own breakfast food and coffee creamer. On Saturday night, a lady named, Shell, performed in The Principal's Office Bar. She was really good and even took requests. My husband and I would definitely stay here again. I do have a few suggestions. Everyday, 4 towels were placed in the bathroom, but only 2 washcloths. I asked twice for 2 more to be put in my room, but that didn't happen. One evening, a sweet bartender grabbed extra washcloths for us. Also, a hand-held sprayer would be nice to have in the shower as the soft water made it hard to remove soap from my body and shampoo and conditioner from my hair. Additionally, the steps on the side of the building near the ramp have metal strips placed on them, and they become very slippery when it rains. When we left one afternoon, it was raining. My husband slipped and fell down the steps. So, maybe a non-slip material could be added to the steps. Lastly, the pool was full of leaves the five days we stayed at the Inn. I never saw anyone do any maintenance to the pool. There were towels out on Saturday for pool use, but none of the other days. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend the Inn to others.

We even got there after their happy hour ended by a half hour, and without even asking, the front desk girl offered to get us a glass of wine, which we did do. And in contrast to another review, the red wine was good. Not top of the line, but definitely not gross. It was your average house wine from any upscale restaurant. The location was perfect for us. On the beach, easy access. They had beach chairs and umbrellas and beach towels if needed. The views from their deck are stellar. They also had enough parking. Also, there is an elevator from the parking area, so getting luggage to room is easy. Here's the only issue I had. When you book on their website, it clearly states what's included in your stay with your room. A few things listed are: breakfast, beach chairs/umbrellas, towels. HOWEVER, when I went to checkout and pay online, there is an 'AMENITY' fee! They describe this as a fee for the beach chairs and towels, etc. Please don't tell me it's included with the rental of my room, and then charge me for it at checkout. It now becomes NOT INCLUDED and I am in fact paying for it extra! I was really going between the 3 star review & the 4. I do not appreciate being deceived. I had spent a lot of time looking at where we wanted to stay, so at that point, I just went through with it and paid. Also, the only other confusing thing, is that I thought they had provided bfast there. They do have coffee (really good coffee btw). They also had pastries at bfast that they get from a local bakery. My husband had an apple danish type thing and he really enjoyed it. But they offer us a $30 voucher to one of two places in town for bfast. We chose the garden cafe. It was good. But of course you spend more than the $30 for basic bfast, oj & coffee. Would I go back? Most likely yes. Would I recommend to family & friends? Yes

The service here is wonderful! Employees here are amazing and super friendly. we also enjoyed eating breakfast here. Also, the beach is just few steps away! that was one of the reason why I choose Elizabeth Lodge. Unfortunately, I am not able to say anything about the rooms on the main lodge since we did not stay there but booking the tradewinds is highly recommend.

The negative: no real trees/shade altho the grass was well kept. Water needed a filter and we couldn't get TV reception. Maybe half to three quarters are permanent and I've seen a lot of complaints but we do not feel any need to complain. Also...RR tracks are close and maybe 5-8 trains came by every day/night. We love trains, so not a problem to us - just be warned if you care. No playground or dog park, with lots of dogs (all leashed). We will come back if we are in the area.

I wanted to visit the Cumberland Island National Seashore (reviewed separately) and didn't want to spend the 900-1000 plus dollars per night (with a two night minimum) to stay at the one crumbling inn on the island. This is truly like stepping back into the 20s and 30s. Lots of old wood, that slightly musty smell (but not unpleasant). The desk attendants were super kind and helpful. I stayed in room 15, Cross Creek. I chose it because it looked directly out onto the water. The bathroom was clean, the shower was hot. People who are tall might struggle a little, as it's a bit of a short shower. The bed was very comfy and I loved how soft it was, and appreciated the soft blankets. There are multiple configurations of rooms here--queens, fulls, twins, double beds. Each is named after a famous guest or situation. Basic cable TV and that's okay! They do a sack lunch for the island (no food to buy on the island) if you order the night before. There is a restaurant downstairs (reviewed separately) and a small, quaint lobby. Literally FEET from the ferry and national park checkin. Also tons of cute little shops to walk around to see and shop. And if you miss their sack lunches, some of these shops will make you a lunch. I loved my night here. I really did. It's something I won't forget.

Our room was neat, clean and had everything we needed; 2 very comfortable queen-size beds, plush pillows, good T.V. with a decent range of channel selections, a little refrigerator, and a 4-cup coffee pot with supplies. From our room, it was a short and easy walk to the beautiful beach. I enjoyed lazing around in the Adirondack chairs facing the beach of the patio area on the first floor. The pool looked nice and very clean, but it was too chilly to swim with a cold front moving through. This was a great value, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and I would definitely stay here again!
