It's a decent hotel, but there's a bunch of minor things that make it not great. Paid for a king bed, but received a queen. Paid for a ocean view, but got a pool view. The shower has a large metal drain that echoes through adjacent rooms. Also, the breakfast is not great. Additionally, there's extra daily fees.

Check your room type.....

We booked an ocean view, I called to confirm it was ocean view. When we arrived and got to our room it WAS NOT. The balcony upgraded room I asked for (rm 211) looked at the roof, when you sat in the chairs provided you couldn't see the ocean either. You had to stand on the chair and lean over railing at an angle to see the water. I immediately went back downstairs and asked for another room. We spent 4 nights here, the first night in the awful room. They moved us the next day, to room 411, but not until after we spent our afternoon waiting for the room to get ready instead of sight seeing. The staff was helpful, female bartender and chair and umbrella guy at beach were very knowledgeable. It was a really stressful way to start vacation.

I liked that this hotel was right on the beach and provided chairs and umbrella for day use. The staff was very friendly and approachable. They provided everything we needed. The hotel was clean and the grounds were well kept. It really felt like a resort. The only thing I would change would make sure the sleeper sofas are clean (there was goldfish crumbs under the mattress pad) and clean the shower heads. We would definitely stay there again.

Room for improvement

We were highly looking forward to our Residence Inn stay at Jekyll Island. The grounds outside the hotel were beautiful, the entrance and check in went smoothly. After gaining access to our room we noticed several issues we thought need more attention to detail- first off the amount of hair still hanging on the walls in the shower gave us a ick feeling of inadequate cleaning. The seals surrounding the showers had a large amount of visible black mold. Several drawers in the room were broken, with the handles falling off, and consistently sliding out, leading us to run into them in the dark- causing bruises and cuts especially dangerous with young children staying in the room. Small beetles/ baby roaches were found in our bags, and climbing on the walls in the corner next to windows. By the 3rd day the pool was not clean- hair, beetles, and palm tree debris was floating in the pool- as the groundskeepers were trimming the trees. As for breakfast- if you are gluten or dairy intolerant bring your own breakfast. There are not any alternatives. Despite having a “Starbucks sold here” cafe the coffee was TERRIBLE! If you find you like actual espresso and drinkable coffee- it’s well worth your trip to take a bike to Wake Up Coffee across from the Mosaic Museum. Aside from these imperfections- we did appreciate the free sand toys and pool floats that guests could utilize. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

The bad:Our room need repair badly, there was a circular patch that was falling off the wall which was right next to the electrical box which my child was very interested in, the kitchen did not come with a broom/dustpan which was needed for cleaning, rug was coming apart from the wall in several places in the bedroom, toilet paper was HORRIBLE so be sure to bring your own also paper towels the same, and the trash can in the kitchen is tiny which is bad considering they only clean every other day and that tiny 6/8 gallon gets filled up quick when you cook! Also they had issues with the terminal so took them 20 minutes to get checked in. Internet did have a few issues connecting the 2nd day we were there but was fine after that.housekeeping only leaves 2 towels so be prepared to ask for a 3rd, and check your ice bucket as ours was cracked, we learned when he tried to get ice and it leaked all over the counter The Good: the room came with pots/pans, silverware, plates, cups, and cooking utensils. The outside of the property was very nice with cornhole, the pool, lots of sitting areas both inside and out. The boardwalk was nice walking to the ocean everyday with showers right at the pool. Full breakfast was definitely a perk of Residence in : bagels, oatmeal, waffles, eggs, bacon or sausage, fruit, milk and yogurt. Overall the outside property and staff made up for the room issues. However we won’t be staying there again.

Not really an oceanfront view

We booked an oceanview balcony room but the view was blocked by an architectural portion of the building. It should have been listed as an obstructed view. We were very disappointed. Otherwise, the room and resort were nice.
