Village Inn and Pub - Adults Only

Downtown St. Simons Island

10/10 Excellent

Beautiful room with luxury touches and perfect walkable location to great restaurants and shopping. Room turnover service every day, which is rare since Covid. No elevator, so keep that in mind if you get a 2nd floor room. The continental breakfast reminded me of what you get in Europe--fresh fruit and pastries. In room Nespresso coffee maker sure beats the Keurig-types. I would definitely stay here again.

10/10 Excellent

I would describe this as a cross between a condo rental & a hotel room. Room was exceptionally pretty, thoroughly cleaned every day, and the kitchenette had everything we needed. However, when we got there to check in at about 8:00pm, I found out that there is no front desk or concierge. Had to call someone offsite to get into the lockbox to get our key card, which I had not anticipated. However, on the other hand, I called the offsite number early one morning due to a clogged toilet and a...

While only a short overnight stay, we had one for the books. Driving to our next stop we were about 1 1/2 away when we realized we left cash in the open safe in our room. It was up high and hard to check. I called the hotel to secure it and the manager told me he had it and we have it put into safe keeping to we returned. When we got back they called security to deliver the funds to us. Not a penny was missing and when I offered a reward they refused it saying it would not feel...

We went for our 33rd wedding anniversary and were pleasantly surprised at the beauty of property, and how well maintained it is. We loved our room and we had a lovley balcony. It was very nice listening to the evening music from our balcony. Our bed and pillows were very comfortable. It was wonderful to have a refrigerator for cold drinks. However, the coffee maker in the room should be thoroughly cleaned in-between each guest. We are tea drinkers and everyday there were coffee grounds in our...
