Very quiet. Room was perfect. Towels lux! BUT...I wish the staff (not kitchen) was more visible. I found myself hunting them. Breakfast was wonderful. Continental and eggs cooked to order and delish. They can also accommodate you if you arrive after 8 pm food wise. It's absolutely beautiful. Many rooms to choose from. Lovely living room and wrap around porch. Perfect if spending the day at Cumberland Island and you don't want to drive home. They can also pack you a lunch to take with you! Will come back for sure.

Some issues with late arrival and room number and key number not matching and poor initial follow-up. Staff did provide follow-up to compensate for situation. Breakfast was good but standard rooms and beds are small.

Disliked: Staff & service
I arrived at 2:00 check in is 3:00 even though I was called and told my room would be ready earlier. They said it was ready but it’s $30.00 to check in the hour early even though the room was ready. It was pouring down rain out she said just go walk around for a hour then if you don’t want to pay the $30.00 extra for the one hour early. So I left in pouring down rain and waited till check in. The rest of my stay was very uneventful. I hardly saw anybody and no one spoke to me except for at breakfast. No ice machine, no drinks. They did serve dinner but some meals average 60.00 a plate. Breakfast was continental except for you could have an egg and bacon or sausage. I tried one of the pastries, I didn’t care for it. I would not go back

A lovely old building in a relaxed liitle town with a lot going on for its size. I'm sure the dinner at the hotel must be good but we loved Locals, which has a lovely view and the best hushpuppies ever. I recommend a walk around - it was very peaceful when we were there. There are vintage stores with great selections nearby.

Quiet and roomy accommodations with a helpful and warm staff. We loved our stay at Spencer House, and St. Mary’s was a lovely little town to explore before and after our day on Cumberland Island. Great seafood at Locals too.
