Top Driftwood Beach Hotel Reviews

Saint Simons Inn by the Lighthouse

8/10 Good

"Room was nice but could use a deep cleaning. Breakfast was a little weak; coffee was good."

Queens Court

10/10 Excellent

"This motel is so cute and located in the perfect spot to park and explore. No need to drive around town. It's very close to restaurants, shops & the water. The property itself has an intentional retro vibe that we loved! Our room had a mini-fridge plus a Keurig (with k-cups). The bathroom had toiletries as well as a blowdryer. There were also 2 safes in the closet area. The bed was really comfortable too. While we didn't have a chance to use it, the pool looked really cool all lit up at night. They did a nice job of making it inviting. The front desk staff were great and friendly. We'll definitely be staying here again when we are back in St. Simons."
