Delightful bed and breakfast…read more House full of history. You would think some of the furnishings were original. According to the welcome booklet, all the original furnishings were sold off decades ago. All the rooms are open to exploration if they are not currently being occupied. Most of the guests stayed on the 3rd floor while I was there. Enjoyed room 304. Felt like I was back in time. Imagined I was renting the room, back in the boarding house days. Staff was open and friendly. Few notes: my room was missing a bed skirt. All the other rooms had one. Small thing really. Post cards and mugs were out of stock for sale. Prefer more house made items for breakfast. Fresh juice, one baked good, etc. Property has 2 porches and ver little yard or outside sitting options. Would have loved to play a local with the rocking chairs on the front porch rather the side. Again. Preference. Would stay here again.

I was told that the Sure Stay hotel the better of my options for a short stay.. well, after the warm reception I (and my Vietnam vet colleague) got, both at the Sure Stay and the VFW here in Kingsland (a short distance from the Sure Stay), I went home to Charleston, SC, checked on what it would cost to move to St. Marys, called the relators here, located an apartment (that wasn't "quite" ready), and moved lock stock and barrel. I booked into the Sure Stay for the duration of my wait for the apartment. Besides the wonderful breakfasts that were included in the room rate, having the cocktail lounge, "The Breeze", with their menu of bar foods, made it so I didn't really HAVE to go out for dinner. my stay at the Sure Stay got extended a couple of times because of problems that came up with the apartment, but it didn't bother me a bit; after a week I felt like family at the Sure Stay. I still visit the Breeze once a week and I'm greeted by the Sure Stay employees as if I never left. My Vietnam vet colleagues have come from out of state to visit and I put them in the Sure Stay. Thank You Best Western. Butch J

My fiancé and I recently stayed at Greyfield Inn for Memorial Day Weekend, and we are still raving…read moreabout our trip to anyone who will listen. If you are looking for the ultimate romantic escape, this is it. I almost didn't want to post a review out of fear that the Inn will get too popular, but something this extraordinary must be shared. From the moment you step off the Inn's private ferry, it feels as if you have stepped back in time. The untamed, natural beauty of Cumberland Island seems almost prehistoric, while the understated, casual "Old Money" elegance of the Inn harkens back to the days of the Gilded Age when the Carnegies and their contemporaries galavanted along the beach. Staying at Greyfield Inn isn't a typical luxury hotel experience; it's more like being a welcomed guest in a grand, historic family home, where your host has an extraordinary attention to detail. Fresh flowers and a handwritten card await you in your room upon your arrival, along with a copy of the Inn's daily meal schedule and a map of the island. A card bearing the day's forecast, including the speed of the current, winds, etc., is slipped under your door each morning while you're at breakfast. There is no front desk; if you require assistance, you need only wander downstairs to the kitchen and ask any available staff member. Speaking of the kitchen, it is open to guests 24-7; you are always free to help yourself to an assortment of delicious beverages and snacks, including homemade cookies (the flavor changes every day). We loved not having any Wi-Fi or TV; it forced us to completely unplug, slow down, and truly focus on each other. From riding the complimentary beach cruisers down live oak-canopied paths, to walking the beach and seeing no other humans for miles and miles, to lazing about on the Inn's extraordinarily comfortable front porch swings, we treasured every moment. We took advantage of the Inn's many tour offerings, including historic tours of the Dungenness Ruins and Plum Orchard estate, as well as a naturalist-led tour of the beach and an early morning birding tour through the marshland. Our guides, Christina and Nina, were both knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating facts about Cumberland Island's rich history and even richer biodiversity. The culinary experience was definitely a highlight. From the charming picnic lunches packed for our daytime adventures to the exquisite, garden-to-table communal dinners, every meal was phenomenal. The food was often simple, but perfectly executed. We appreciated the requirement that everyone dress up for dinner, and every day we looked forward to socializing with new friends during the evening cocktail hour, munching on delicious hors d'oeuvres in the drawing room and sipping ice-cold martinis on the front porch. A word of caution to high-maintenance guests (or those who insist on modern luxuries): you might find some aspects of Greyfield less than ideal (though we found them charming). As my fiance said, sometimes it feels like "camping for fancy rich people." The plumbing, for instance, is quite old-fashioned, and it was virtually impossible to take a hot shower with adequate water pressure in our bathroom (we stayed in the Library Suite, which we adored). However, the Inn offers an excellent outdoor shower, which we thought added to the rustic charm of the experience. The warmth and attentiveness of Greyfield's staff was unmatched. A special shout-out to Hayley, who took some very special photos of my fiance and I (and who went out of her way to shoot us in multiple spots and from multiple angles!). We cannot thank the folks at Greyfield Inn enough for making our trip so magical. We are already dreaming of our next trip back, and are even considering trying to book the Inn for our wedding!

For the cost, do not expect the staff to go above and beyond at all. They stand around in the kitchen and must be sought out for assistance, never proactive. It's a very serve yourself type of atmosphere .The porch area is rarely attended to and dirt, with the interior furniture is ripped, tattered and worn. The food is nothing special and you are herded out of the communal eating area when time is up. You are your own bartender, as there is no one to offer you a drink. The service is subpar at best and there is very little attention to detail. There were older folks who couldn't bike and climb the dunes to get to the beach and they would not drive these people in the truck to the beach, which would be a nice option to accommodate those who need help to enjoy the island. I am glad I went, but not worth the cost they charge. nothing special, IMO.

It looks like a nice, quaint hotel from a distance, but with the exception of very few people, this…read moreplace is nothing more than a roach- and flea-infested drug distribution center. They offer smoking and non-smoking rooms, but even the non-smoking rooms reek like smoke because they don't enforce their own non-smoking policy, leaving non-smokers to put up with the smell of smoke because they have so few rooms left that are truly "smoke-free." The majority of the "guests" are permanent residents, who pay by the week or two, some of whom have been there as long as five to seven years. In order for the single-night guests to not be "mixed" in with the long-term residents, they are deliberately placed in the front of the hotel only, where it is the hottest and noisiest. This way, they can supposedly be shielded from the activities that take place in the back of the hotel, such as drug use/deals, drunk and disorderly conduct, domestic disputes, etc. This might be why the police are called to the hotel almost every night, and sometimes more than once a night. If you have a problem, don't expect anything to be done about it. Neither the staff nor the manager seem interested in making your stay comfortable. They don't even offer cleaning services! Many of the permanent residents have dogs, in some cases more than one, and there is dog crap everywhere in the grass around the pool and gazebo, and in the picnic area. It's like a poop minefield everywhere there is grass because no one picks up after their dogs, and it smells like dog crap, everywhere. It even smells like animal urine right outside the office and in the breezeway between the buildings, ALL the time. There are children running everywhere, day and night, making all kinds of noise, and I heard that some children even go door-to-door asking for money for snacks! I've personally noticed some children being rude and disrespectful to adults while their parents did nothing about it. There is a small grocery store that is very convenient - when it has the things you need - but it runs out of many of the most popular items often, and they only restock once a week, so if you don't get there, or aren't staying there, right after they restock, you might as well just go to the store and stock up on groceries. The people who suffer however, are the ones who live there and don't have a car. The prices are so high on some items that it hurts many of the permanent residents who are on welfare/EBT and can't get to the store. They even charge for toilet paper here! This area is certainly not lacking in hotels/motels, so if you are planning a trip to this area, do yourself a favor, even of you have to pay a little more, stay somewhere else. By the way, the Cumberland Inn & Suites in St. Marys and the Best Western in Kingsland are owned by the same [non-American] company as this lodge is, so you are likely to encounter similar deficiencies at those hotels as well.
