Killed the biggest roach I've ever seen. Bathroom is rough. Floor is dirty. Tub faucet wouldn't quit running. Convenient to beach. Ladies at reception were very nice. Pay more and stay somewhere better.

just a decent, clean, hotel that is steps away from the beach. Nothing fancy, but provides a good place to stay while enjoying Tybee Island.

This room was very utilitarian. Showed significant wear and tear. Bathroom door would not close due the the ceiling light being mounted on the wall blocking the door frame. Large gaping hole in the drain. Bed as hard and lumpy. Staff checking in was not friendly at all. Parking is limited.

Staff was very nice & helpful. Room was fine, as well as the pool. Beach was a little far for me due to my hip & back issues, but we could drive to parking area in back where the walkways to beach are. $4/hour for county parking, so worked out.

The hotel is in a great spot and there's a restaurant across the street for good food. We arrived early (@3p) and our room was clean so we wew allowed to check in. Nice size room but AC was not working. Nice girl from the front desk tried to get it working bit no luck. She graciously moved is to another room and all was good. Hotel is within walking distance of mich of the south end so that's a plus. We checked out before 8a and there was no one around so we called the number on the door and left the key in a box. Not a bad place, just old. Bed was fine and price was good compared to other hotels there. It's a 2 star hotel. Comfortable and quiet.
