The coffee maker in our room was disgustingly filthy. No hooks in the bathroom to hang towels up. Usually, there is a pen and paper on the desk -no such thing! I Didn't dare try the ice machine for fear of mold. Coffee didn't taste like anything but watered down whatever and the breakfast wasn't anything to brag about. My husband wanted ketchup for his eggs, and they acted like they never heard of it!! We won't stay there again.

Great for families who want to walk to the beach

The room with 2 queen beds and a sleeper sofa was nice and big for our family. The beds were so comfortable—I want this mattress! The location of the hotel is great if you want to walk to the beach. The breakfast was ok, but I wish there were more options. The staff was friendly.

The good- We liked being right next to the entrance of Fort Clinch. Parking fee was waived, due to being fully booked & having to park in the restaurant lot across the street. The front desk peeps were friendly, and helpful. The bad-The bathroom was unclean at check in, so I wiped everything down, even the entire floor. The couch fabric was yuck, but we just covered with a sheet.

I made the reservation through Expedia. I did not know there was a $22 charge for parking. I called to see about getting an early check-in and was told absolutely not- not until 4:00. The tv remote didn’t work had to call about that. There was no hair dryer in the room. There was very loud young men next door that kept slamming their door and the one at the end of the hall. We had our small dog with us and every time they slammed the door she barked. We complained once but it continued until well past midnight. It was easily within walking distance to the beach and nice restaurants. And it was clean and smelled nice. There is no trash can out by the grass to throw dog bags in but a sign to clean up after your dog. Where are you supposed to put it??

No customer service

We were unable to stay due to our daughter being admitted to the Children’s Hospital in Orlando the day of our arrival. I emailed them at noon (through Hotels.com) and asked if we could have a credit to return once she was discharged as we are from out of state and knew we would be going that direction soon. It’s been 2 days and we have yet to receive a return email or call (I left my number in the email to them). I know the policy is no refunds after a certain time frame. I was only asking for a credit with them to be used within the next few days.

Our room was very dirty. A pill was found in the bed, rotting spilled sauce in the microwave. Floor in bathroom very dirty. Toilet was dirty. Pair of sunglasses left on sofa. Told front desk staff to give it a thorough cleaning while we were out, but returned to same dirt. They had only changed the towels. Very disappointing. Won’t be back.

Not really sure what all the bad reviews are about. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, it matched the pictures, and the location is amazing. One thing I didn't see the reviews mention and was a surprise to me was that of there is a car show in town (which apparently is a regular occurrence), Surf and Sand allows the car show people to keep their car trailers hooked to their vehicle and take up too many spaces and block the entrances to their parking lot. This is an incredibly stupid decision.

Thought this was on beach but had to walk across street. Pass a quick gas station and hotel was after that.
