Excellent location for us as we were visiting family on Wilmington Island. Beach access was most favorable. one drawer for clothing had some sand residue there so was not able to use that. but the wardrobe was good. Breakfast choices were limited, but as far as continental it was good for our purposes.

The cleanliness could be a lot better. Behind our bathroom door was absolutely filthy. All it takes are two minutes and a wet cloth. The air vent in the bathroom actually had dust hanging from it. At times, the cable tv wasn’t working. Breakfast was exactly what you would expect from a hotel offering continental breakfast.

Unfortunately the beach access was not available because of erosion on the way down to the beach but not any fault of the hotel. We had to access the beach a block down the road. Breakfast was above average but the coffee was good. I would rate 4 out of 5 for the price paid and amenities. Keep in mind, the Tybee Island is a tourist destination and will never be reasonably priced during tourist season.. still a good place to stay.

When we checked in they gave us a room without a balcony. When we spoke to the front desk about the error they provided a room with a balcony but oceanview was through the parking lot. The room was clean. The bridge to the beach was out. The only beach towels are the ones that were for purchase. Also no beach chairs or umbrellas, you will need to bring them with you. The staff was nice and helpful. If you pay with a credit card there is a 3% fee.

Great room and view. Breakfast was okay. I was hoping the have eggs and hot meals. The pool, room views and access to the beach are the best part of the stay. They charge $20 per towel for pool and beach so bring one along. Over all great experience.

We loved the view from our room. It was very clean. The breakfast was okay. The beach was having issues. You had to just 2 and a half ft down to the main level of the beach. So if was very, very difficult to get back up to the walkway to the hotel. There was not much in the way of dining choices and alot them had only street parking which was an exorbitant $5/hr. Both Savannah and Beaufort had very reasonable parking fees. But the main reason we went was a success. The Perseides meteor shower was awesome. :)
