Earlier this year we stayed at a quaint little place called the Riverview Hotel located in St. Marys, GA. Now this place isn't your ordinary hotel. It is in a category all its own. I can tell you this... You will either love it or hate it. There is no inbetween. You either see it for what it is or... more

I had read the reviews, and decided to give the hotel a chance. Reserved Martha's Room. Where to start? A hole in the carpet by the roomdoor was "patched" with duct tape.

The rooms are named after former... more

The owners were very accommodating in allowing me to check in early, 11AM, as my husband had to drop me off and continue on to a meeting in Jacksonville. Although the room was not ready, I was able to drop my things and go explore the town... more

I already wrote a review earlier...BUT was BEFORE I returned again this year. (Do not know why I called their restaurant "Skylar's...oops! Senior moment!) Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on Mondays so I had to skip their delicious Rock shrimp this trip. Had a wonderful eve..the sunset from the Veranda perfect, and the Bag piper playing as it set was... more
