Wonderful

Outside of the silly requirement that guests pick up their Keurig coffee pods at check-in, instead of housekeeping putting them inside the rooms, everything was excellent.

Very comfortable and affordable. Great location with all rooms with a balcony and facing the water.
The main reason I did not give this a 5 star review is because the room had a strong musty smell that was over powering. We went to one of the shops in town and purchase a nice scented candle that helped.
The location was the best feature as we walked throughout the town.
The screened deck over the water was wonderful. We watched the sunrise and in the evening saw Manatees swimming in the river.
The hotel is only a 10 min drive to St. George Island.

Beautiful Room
Great location, outstanding view from the screened in veranda
The Water Street Hotel and Marina is a lovely place to stay. Very spacious rooms with full kitchen and a lovely balcony facing the river. While we were there, it was very quiet and peaceful. The pool area is also comfortable, clean and quiet. This was more like a condo than a hotel. I especially loved the lighted mirrors in the bathrooms. That was a nice touch. It is within walking distance to restaurants and shops and don’t forget to get your biscuit from the Biscuit Factory in the mornings. Just two blocks down the street. We will definitely stay here again.

Stayed for a week on business. The hotel was comfortable, great location, and had all the things we needed for a long stay - stocked kitchen, laundry, etc. Staff were friendly and the view from the balcony was so lovely to wake up to each morning.
