This was a great place to just need somewhere to sleep at. Staff was friendly, accommodated early check in, and room was very clean. Only complaint I have is the pool area needs updated pretty bad, it was small. The trash area was right next to it, so it smelled while sitting there. Thankfully we spent majority of the time at the beach.

Updates and Cleaning Needed

Check-in went well And the desk clerk was very accommodating. The rooms, however, were very outdated. The bathroom was in need of some repair and the air conditioning in our second room continually tripped the electric which requires a move to a different room. The bed linens had stains and hair. The walkways and stairs were filthy. We ended up leaving.
Bathroom door from the inside. Paint pealing
Bathroom was extremely small, tile cracked and the faucet area rusted and in need of repair

I booked to stay at sandcastle inn a month prior to my trip, upon arrival there was an awful smell and after attempting to check in they told me that they had no record of me in the system, they also told me that they had no way to accommodate me. I showed my receipt and proof of purchase and they told me to look for other places to stay. I called Expedia because that’s who I booked through and after Expedia had called them they found out that they had given my room to someone with a similar last name as mine. I was also told they couldn’t refund me due to the manager being absent. I was told that the manager would be there at 8 am the next day. I called the next day and another hotel answered for them and said they wouldn’t be in til 9:30 . We were luckily able to get our refund after a lot of back and forth, however The experience with this hotel was awful.

It is definitely an older property that could use some renovations but it was clean and the staff was excellent. There really aren't many hotel options on Tybee so I would say this is one of the better choices. Very loud older AC unit. Excellent location to the beach and restaurants. We normally rent a condo at the North end of the beach, but if you want to be where the action is, I would recommend staying here.
