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

The ladies at the Spencer house contributed to a very delightful southern hospitality experience
It is in town and walking distance to all the activities. The staff was very courteous and helpful. Our room was nice with a comfy bed. Overall stay was good. Great place to get away and relax.
Excellent breakfast, courteous and helpful staff, large and comfortable room, and ideal location for exploring downtown St. Mary’s and taking the ferry to Cumberland Island.
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.
It was a great experience!! The place was clean and the people were very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and a great presentation.
Penny showed us around and was very friendly!
Would definitely recommend
Convenient charming bed and breakfast with a wonderful breakfast! They left so many thoughtful touches throughout their hotel. You can tell staff takes great pride in their work.
The staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. The inn was walkable distance to anything needed in St Mary’s including the ferry and a coffee shop. Would recommend!
We were warmly greeted and all staff were kind, gracious, and very service-focused. The rooms are great. Bed was a little too soft for me, and I would have liked to have an extra blanket.
We had dinner here and it was fantastic! Everything homemade. The wine, although limited selection, was good quality. Everyone in our party was happy!
