Best Hotels in Saint Marys

When I first walked in, everything looked fine. King size bed, black out curtains in two big windows but not in the narrow window beside the bed, couch with recliner at each end, a recliner, tv, three drawers under the tv, dining table with two chairs, kitchen with full size fridge, pots and pans, four each of plates, bowls, spoons, forks, knives, cups, glasses, one dish towel, one dish cloth, one pot holder, paper towels, coffee maker, coffee, one roll toilet paper, two bath towels, two hand towels, two wash cloths, tissues, two little bottles shampoo. First, I start to unpack and realize there’s no hangers in the closet/hot water heater room. My clothes were kept in my suitcase and unpacked as I needed as I didn’t feel good about putting in the three drawers under tv. The bathroom was filthy, the tub had at least three inches of dirty filthy scum around the entire bottom and up the side. The shower curtain was filthy. The corners of the floor and around sink floor was covered in black mold filth. The toilet had a yellow stain around the top of water. The floor was so sticky, my flip flops were sticking to it. The towels appeared clean and smelled fine. The fridge handles and door was filthy with dirt as was the kitchen floor sticky like the bathroom. The tub had to be scrubbed before I could shower. Also the tub drained so slow that water was up to my ankles when I showered. So bedtime comes and I could hear not only children but grown men and women yelling, laughing, talking till way after midnight all three nights that I was there. The bed had four pillows all flat and hard as a rock. The mattress was worn out, hard and lumpy. Every morning when the sun come up it would shine through the narrow window beside the bed right in my face and wake me up. Defeats the purpose of having blackout curtains in the living area. Every day I saw groups of people hanging out in front of rooms in chairs, sitting on stoops, smoking, drinking, talking. The place was like a commune. At night the parking lot would fill up with cars and there was dozens of people at the pool, and other common areas. Party all three nights that I was there. I didn’t see any security or security cameras. I will not stay there again. It is not a hotel as it’s advertised. It’s like those old motels from back in the day that were scattered all along hwy 17. I’d say most people here live here.

I am local here in Kingsland, even work in hospitality management myself down on Amelia. A few nights ago, I got home from work (At nearly 1AM, life of hospitality!) to find that my AC was broken. My house was nearly 90 degrees! No way I could sleep at home, so I started looking around for somewhere relatively cheap to spend the night. I drove to the country inn and suites as my parents stayed there previously. Absolutely not, the clerk was on her phone when I got there- one of my own pet peeves. I made my way over to this property, and Robin at the front desk absolutely made my night. Typical night auditors are irritated by anyone needing anything- but not Robin. She was up to the task with a smile and wonderful energy. She offered me the best flexible rate and a late check out complimentary! This is exactly what I needed after a long week at my front desk. She reminded me of why I love what I do! The room was immaculately clean and comfortable. This chain hotel has a soul that runs deep.

I felt very safe and didn't worry about my car. The Lobby was inviting; Desk Clerk explained everything I needed to know. My room was quiet, very clean; two double beds-- very comfortable and the pillows were fluffy-3 on each bed! Breakfast Buffet was 6 am to 9:30....more than enough to satisfy the hungriest of appetites! And, the room rate was only $80.00--included all taxes, etc. GREAT value!!
