We made our 7th trip to Cumberland Island the best ever by staying at the Rivewview Hotel. We couldn't believe the convenience to the Cumberland Island ferry, and the old time ambience of the hotel. It was great! Nothing like being able to park in front of the hotel, walk around the town, enjoy a view of the river, and... More

One of the things that also appeals to me is the legendary bartender-Cindy Dean. I understand that she is cutting back on her hours lthough. This Brit girlfriend of mine really enjoyed her sense of humor-sort of a Don Rickles southern counterpart, if you were around in 1960's, 1970's America. More

We stayed at the Riverview over Christmas and found it charming and clean. Family owned hotels like this rarely exist these days. The owners were very friendly, husband and wife team. The husband seems to be a bit scattered but both were extremely friendly, and were very accommodating. If you are looking for the Ritz don't stay there. If you... More

My husband and I visited the St. Mary's area last year as our "Christmas gift" to each other. I decided to wait to write the review because I was afraid I wouldn't be objective if I wrote the review right away. After a year, I still get confused when I think about that place. We were a late arrival, and... More

Maybe Old & Gross should just go stay in a box hotel somewhere else. I am returning this weekend and can not wait to get there. It may not be for everyone but you should try it, if you are in St Marys, before Marriott and H I take over the World. It's a colorful piece of the past. Great... More

After reading the previous reviews I am compelled to say - yes, it is completely out-of-date, grungy, and in desparate need of repair and cleaning. You probably won't find the conveniences that you would expect from even a budget hotel chain. And YES, it is absolutely charming. You will walk into the lobby and step back in time. The door...

We wanted somewhere to stay right on the waterfront. This fitted the bill. It was like walking into the 1900s and an experience to be taken without worrying too much about value for money or modern conveniences. We loved every minute. From the front balcony you can hail the very smart town tour bus to wait while you get your... More

Let me begin by stating that we are not fussy travelers by any stretch of the imagination. We should have cancelled the reservation upon walking into the lobby. No a/c and the young man that finally responded to the service bell could barely be bothered to check us in. Upstairs, the stifling heat continued into our room. There was a... More

We toured Cumberland National Seashore off the South Ga. Coast beautiful I recommend it for able bodied hikers and casual strollers alike be in St. Marys at the dock by 9 or 11:30 if you want to go . On return we decided to stay at the Riverview with the ghosts of JD Rockefeller and other notables ... O ld... More

This big, old house has more of a B&B feel to it, even though rooms are complete with basic amenities. Proprietors were very pleasant. I had both dinner and breakfast onsite and both were very good. Locatio, adjacent to Cumberland Island ferry couldn't have been better for me. More
