It was worth getting the corner room with the balcony and the ocean view. Waking up to the ocean every morning was so refreshing for my birthday week. Room was clean, no bugs, clean sheets, plenty of towels. For an older hotel, they take very good care of everything. I also really liked the private beach access, very convenient.

We requested ocean view - not. Parking limited to 1 vehicle per room - we had 2. Ice machine on 3rd floor in closed stairwell- very scary. Carpets dirty. Bed frame coming apart. Pool closed for maintenance, but nobody worked on it and it was running. Outdoor beach loungers old and not moveable. Staff didn't seem to know anything about pool or property. We love Tybee Island , but would not stay here next time. Asking for refund.
