This room is tiny. The pictures online are deceiving. Sink in bathroom is the smallest I have ever seen. Cant use toilet properly because its up against wall on right side. If u just want a bed to sleep in its ok. Oh, our lights kept flickering and surging so much that I was afraid to sleep thinking building would catch fire.

Very small rooms but very clean. The AC is an older window unit, built into the wall, that was either on or off and it ran all night so it was never quiet in the room. It's also not on the beach but there's a pool.

My granddaughter and I had a wonderful stay during our 5 days on Tybee Island. The room was super clean and very cute. It took us about 10 minutes to walk to the beach. Definitely would stay here again. We mostly had the pool all to ourselves.

Pool was a nice temperature. Code was ready to open the door upon arrival. Rooms were clean & well stocked. This is an older motel with a quaint, cozy, old-fashioned ocean type character. If you’re looking for a fancy, modern motel, look elsewhere. We loved this one for its uniqueness. Two light glass globes on the ceiling lights need to be replaced or cleaned, on the inside; otherwise our stay was great.
