The motel is quaint and centrally located on the island; it has charm and nostalgic feel. The pool is very nice, office staff is very friendly and responsive… Wish a few things in the room were upgraded and more up to date.. Rooms are suitable size and nice to have a fridge and microwave… The fans need to be more upright oscillating type to cool all the rooms… Would stay again

Convenient location, nice staff, pool was warm and clean. Rooms were nice and served the purpose for a larger group with bedding and sofa couch. One request, keep smart remotes in the room for the tvs. We had cable but wanted to use the stream at night. Close to beach and food. I’d go back.

I love the retro/beach vibe of the motel. The lovely lady that checked me in was so nice & accommodating. The room was very clean. I also loved that there was a pool on the property & the beach was within walking distance. I will definitely return again.

The motel looks old. But was very nice, and clean, my only recommendations would be to reprint the lines in the parking lot because it's important to management that you park between the lines.

We stayed for 3 nights and really enjoyed Tybee Island. The motel is in a great place for access to the beach, it has its own clean pool, the room was comfortable and we had a little extra room with a coffee machine and fridge which was handy. the bathroom was teeny but the shower worked and we managed fine. The ladies on reception were friendly and helpful. I would happily stay there again.

The property was in prime location. Just a few minutes to the beach by foot. Literally five minutes. Location was perfect. You can walk just a few blocks and be in the downtown area where you can get food and drinks without any worries about driving. The motel was cute and vintage. Very adorable. Great for a few nights day. If you don’t mind a tiny house living the Royal Palms is the perfect place.
