While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

Great location right on the beach. Roomy areas outside where some guests were grilling and eating. Two pools to choose from. Nice boardwalk to the ocean. The room was plain but clean. Bike rental conveniently located right on the property edge. Balconies are not private but on a walkway - took me a minute to get used to but then liked meeting the neighbors as we walked by. They provide an extensive breakfast that should suit most anyone - dining room is pleasantly located with an ocean view. It was a very kid-friendly hotel and also saw some dogs. Comparing rates it was as good or better value than anything else I found. Only negative was spotty internet but found that true all over the island.

Only oceanfront hotel on Tybee Island. Direct beach access with oceanfront pool sundeck and game room. Free continental breakfast and WIFI. Voted best place to stay 7 years in a row. Beautifully re-modeled rooms and a heated and cooled pool depending on the weather.
The hotel and room was basic and nice. The breakfast was perfect for my husband and me. My only complaint is my husband had his cellphone stolen out of the room when we went to dinner with friends. We traced his cellphone at an employees house. We put a note on the door of their house to return the phone or call the police. The cellphone returned to the hotel 2 days later.

Saint Simons Inn, in the shadow of a centuries-old lighthouse, is easily within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, ocean and the fishing pier. There are 34 spacious guest rooms, each equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, and cable television. Enjoy a host of complimentary amenities, including continental breakfast, high speed wireless internet, coffee and donuts, and a swimming pool. We also have one pet friendly room (room 303 only) available.
We had 2 different rooms as we added an additional night. Both rooms were great! Every room is different and has different owners. The staff was so friendly, helpful and accommodating! Would stay here every time I visit if available. Close to the park, pier, lighthouse, and shopping! The only complaint would be the parking. Very small spaces to park in.

The Ocean Lodge Resort with its Spanish-Mediterranean style inside and out is one of the finest resorts we have ever stayed in! Our accommodations were in a premium suite for the 1st night on the 4th floor and the Penthouse suite on the 2nd night on the 5th floor. Both suites were large and of course the penthouse suite was even larger with a huge balcony with 2 sliding glass doors and an even better views to the neighborhood and the partial ocean view. All of the furnishings: couch, chairs, ottoman and bed was very comfortable with lovely high quality furnishings, art work, floor tile and woodwork! Loved the large full kitchen with eating island/bar in both suites that we stayed in. There were 2 tv’s in each suite, with one in the living room and one in the bedroom with streaming channels. Each suite we were in had 2 bathrooms; one bathroom had a shower and tub combo and the second bathroom had a shower with 2 shower heads styles to choose from; a hand-held and a stationary. Each bathroom had wonderful bottles of toiletries. The closet had an ironing board, a robe and slippers. Each suite also had a safe. There were no laundry facilities. We stayed on a Sunday and Monday the 1st week of May 2022 which was perfect since the 5th floor restaurant was closed on those days, therefore we had a very quiet stay, and was happy that we didn't have to hear any chatter coming from diners, plus the weather was perfect during our stay! The parking was free and is conveniently located on the 1st level of the resort with the elevator and luggage cart right there. The resort staff was very welcoming and accommodating! The resort is in a lovely neighborhood with a few minutes walk to the beach. The suites were very clean and we saw no bugs during our stay. We are extremely happy that we chose this beautiful property and will definitely plan on coming back to this lovely island and resort!

The Inn at Sea Island is the perfect spot for your next golf trip or vacation on St. Simons Island. The Inn is just minutes away from the Sea Island Golf Club and The Lodge, The Cloister on Sea Island, and all of St. Simons Island's historic sites, beaches, and shopping.
Our group of seven used the Sea Island Inn as our base to explore the Golden Isles for five days. We all were in complete agreement that the location, pool, beds and more were excellent but what really made the difference from other Inns and hotels was the outstanding friendliness and service , in a word - HOSPITALITY of all employees at the Inn and other Sea Island properties. It was my sixth stay with groups here and think it starts at the top- Emily Rose, Maggie Ireland, Racheal Brent along with Tara and Meredith at the front desk and all others at the front desk, breakfast servers, bartender and housekeepers. Highly recommend!

This hotel may have been nice in its heyday but take my advice and don’t stay here. It’s old and dirty. To start, they messed up our reservation. We arrived at 9:30 pm and tried to order room service but the tv where you order room service was not working. We called down to the front desk and were informed that someone would be up to fix the tv. When nobody came by 10:40, I went downstairs to order food since the restaurant closed at 11. The waitress looked annoyed that I was ordering. The next morning I was awakened by the cleaning person since there are no “do not disturb” signs to put on the door. Went down to the restaurant for lunch and it was so dirty I almost became ill. Tried to order a drink and the staff discussed in front of me for 20 minutes how no one had replaced the items needed for a margarita. Finally the waitress comes back and said they couldn’t make one. I could go on and on about this place, but you get the point. Oh, also if you don’t want to hear airplane noise all day and night, this isn’t the hotel for you. Do better, Marriott.

The outside may look iffy but the rooms on the inside are really nice! Comfy bed, large bathroom/vanity, new furniture. Also, do you come to the beach to spend time in your room? I don’t! Great price and right across the street from the beach. I’m only writing this last sentence to get to 200 characters. Haha.
