Great place to stay
We came to town for one night. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back and stay longer. The staff was welcoming and very helpful when I had questions about the property. The onsite restaurant was good. We enjoyed a light lunch and decided to eat there again for dinner and we weren’t disappointed. The grounds were very nice and kept. The room was clean, fresh, and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. The only area that might improve would be a few minor things. The sofa had a rip in it and some floor trim was missing in the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower could have been better. One unexpected thing was the complimentary bike rental. We really enjoyed taking a bike ride along the coast to Driftwood Beach. Overall I was extremely happy with my stay.

Beautiful view
Great room and property. The only complaint I have is the bed was too hard so I didn’t sleep good. Other than that, great experience!

The location was wonderful, easy walk to beautiful beach and huge dunes. There were free bikes and bike paths all over the island (an untouched tropical paradise thru the center of the island). The room was spacious and clean.
We had a difficult time getting enough bath towels each day. The restaurant food was just ok, and they seated us at a table that had not been wiped down. Also, there was a bit of an ant problem around the pool. And the ocean water is black at Jekyll Island.
There was ping pong, corn hole, big jenga and big connect 4 to keep us entertained.

We enjoyed our stay at the Residence Inn Marriott. The hotel was pet friendly and clean. The pool was super clean and refreshing. We loved our ocean front room. All of the staff were kind and happy to help us. We enjoyed our complimentary breakfast each morning. We would stay there again.

I love how accommodating the hotel and staff was with our fur baby. Staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms were very nice, clean and fully stocked. I love that we were right in front of the beach, just a quick walk to the beach from the back of the hotel. It was a great stay at this hotel, Totally recommend!

Upon checking in we were informed that our booked room was not available and that we would be downgraded (with the appropriate discount, of course). However, this was an anniversary trip for us and the room that we had booked was pretty important to us. The staff were not at all sympathetic or even helpful, only telling us to just check back the next day to see if another room was available. We bypassed the front desk and found the HR office where the lady there was so very nice and immediately set out to help us. She contacted the manager that was on site, and he immediately appeared and made everything good. We are so very appreciative of the result and it turned our whole vacation around! To their credit, there was a convention or two in the area, and I'm suring there were booking issues there. However, it didn't seem fair to bump us from our room for that reason or without any prior notification. I do recommend this hotel for a stay and the area is beautiful.

Was given wrong room then moved to an even worse one. We booked a king size bed and was given two queens.
Then when we went down with all our luggage to get it right they gave us a smaller more akward shaped room with a king

We had a wonderful relaxing stay! Being able to walk right down to the beach was amazing! All of the staff members were super nice and accommodating making us feel like they really wanted us to have a nice stay. We loved the pool area but REALLY wished the pool was heated like at some of the other hotels because the water was way to cold to go in and enjoy the pool( the weather was warm enough to swim but pool water was freezing). One thing that was not so great was the smell of the water and pipes I smelt it the entire time we were there.
