Great recommendation and wonderful hotel
Riverview Hotel is right above Seagles (restaurant and separate bar) with great priced drinks. Across the street, I’d recommend Souther River Walk for dinner, it’s always great food and service). Both places had live entertainment on their patios. Riverview Hotel was great! George checked us in and he was kind, even offered us an umbrella when he found out we were walking around the riverfront (it looked like it was going to rain).

Nice historic hotel. Staff was very friendly and sits right in historic St Mary’s. Great place to stay if visiting Cumberland Island. The second story common porch is a great place to sit and have some tea

Liked being down by the waterfront that was pretty clean. The restaurant saloon served great food. As expected with a historic hotel, the rooms were small with limited outlets room on the bedside table and no coffee in the room. Lovely porch rocking chairs. Be prepared to lug your suitcases upstairs. Bed was very comfy.
