Visited the Island inn for a Wedding and was very pleased with the service. The Island Inn was very pretty, quiet and picturesque. The breakfast was great and the beach was wonderful. I would stay at the Island Inn again in the future.

My husband and I stopped at St. Simon's for 3 nights recently. We travel with a small dog and booked a dog friendly room when making our reservation. When we arrived there was barely anyone else staying there and we were assigned their one and only pet friendly room. It was located on the back side of the motel. That... More

You have to drive to everything. I was in room 108, corner on the front. Bed was comfy but pillows were awful. They were small square couch throw pillows. Took all four to make a decent pillow. I really didn't have a problem with the room. I wouldn't stay there again just because of location.

This is an older place. Some would call it charming or quirky. At the end of a cul de sac it's quiet and out of the way. Why its called Main Street I cant imagine. Some people will like the location, others won't. With a car its just minutes away from the action, without a car you probably wouldn't be... More

I visit the Island Inn (formerly the Best Western) once a year on business. There have been ZERO upgrades to the rooms in several years. (The bathrooms were renovated a few years ago). The beds are old and hard as a rock. In addition, they quoted me one price on the telephone but tried to charge me a higher rate... More

Found this quaint motel by chance and we were pleasantly surprised. The pool is just as pretty as the photo. The hot tub was not working but not missed. It is in a very quiet location and while older it had comfort and charm. Never having been to this wonderful island we had many questions and found the staff very... More
