I will have to say the lady at the front desk was super nice and really loved her! But I have to say that the pictures are very deceiving and when I say very I mean very deceiving. The room with two beds is tiny, The bathroom was so small you have to turn sideways to use the toilet and the door to the bathroom is a sliding door that doesn't even close So maybe if it's just a couple or something like that it would be okay but yeah. It was close to the beach so that was nice The rooms were fairly clean The pool was nice. Just the price that we paid for a night in that tiny room I just don't know. And also the parking at this motel is super ridiculous you will be lucky to get a parking spot most likely not by your room. Heaven forbid you move because you'll come back with nowhere to park.

A very quaint 1950s retro two story hotel. Window air conditioner ran off/on all night. Bathroom window does not lock so first floor window to road behind hotel. Very clean and very comfortable beds. Bedside table light does not work.

Nice Little Motel.

Cute little boutique hotel. Room was clean, although the shower floor could use some cleaning/bleach. Cute decor, fridge, microwave, and Keurig. Comfy bed. Tiny bathroom, but served its purpose. Smallest sink I’ve ever seen in the states. Good TV. Parking is very tight… but at least it’s there and free. Nice pool. Great check in and out!

Clean and bright little room with one bed and small bathroom an d shower. Fridge held more than I thought. Micro wave and coffee pot matched fridge a n awesome seaside blue. Parking right up to your door. So convenient. Cynthia who runs the place so nice and left a phone number in case office was closed. Pool right outside. Only a few blocks from the pier. Nice. Keyless entry with a code. Definitely would stay again.

Looks straight out of the 1960s! Convient location. Parking spaces too tight. Had to let people out of car before parking. Would not recommend if you have a large vehicle. Pull out sofa bed was terrible! Don't rent if you have more than 4 people. Pool area was nice. The kids enjoyed it. We really liked the contactless check-in and check-out via text messaging. Staff were polite and helpful when we requested bedding and towels, as there was only enough for 4 people in the room even though the reservation was for 6. Overall, it was worth it for the price.

Cute place, on a mission to be great.

My young son and I stayed one night. We arrived super early and the office wasn't open yet. Just be aware the office doesn't open until 10:30, at least on a Sunday. And there is nothing to do within walking distance. You are able to use the pool or go to th beach if you're early though. Once the office opened, Becky was amazing and so friendly! There's a restroom you can use in the office, filtered water, etc. And she has great recommendations for Tybee. We went out with some friends, and she sent a text and called to follow up once our room was ready. After we can back from our day out, we decided to get in the pool for a bit. The water was perfect, though the pool itself could use a little upkeep. And some other guests had glass bottles in the pool area, which is stated to be prohibited. The chairs and umbrellas around the pool are clean and in great condition, they look brand new. The exterior of the motel could use some upkeep, but you can tell they are doing what they can. I feel like they must have a checklist that they are going through. The inside of our room was great. Very cheerful and fun, without being overdone. The beds were super comfortable, and there is a fridge, microwave, and Keurig machine. We had plenty of room for the two of us. Some of the fixtures could stand to be updated, like the brass wall lamps. (If I'm being picky!) The floors looked brand new and were very clean. im about out of room but I could go on! I would probably stay here again.

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.
