Not worth a fraction of the cost.
I cannot believe I paid to stay here. For reference, I come to Tybee every year at this time. This is the worst trip I have ever taken; truly a disappointment. For starters, the office was closed and I had to go to a different office upon check in. The attendant at the office was less than cheery, we’ll just leave it at that. When I got to my physical room, I was shocked at the state of the room. It looks nothing like the photos (kudos to the photographer). The floor was filthy, the baseboards were broken, cracked, and falling off the walls, the sink was absolutely disgusting, the bathroom tile was cracked, and if you told me someone was murdered in the tub in 1982, I would believe you. The toilet didn’t properly flush, and it ran all night no matter what I did. The beds were far from comfortable, the sheets were thin, the air conditioning didn’t work well, the door didn’t seal and didn’t lock unless it was half open… very secure feeling for two women traveling alone. I wouldn’t stay here again if the room was offered for free, I pray someone reads this and it saves them the money I wish I would have saved myself. The only positive is the 7 channels and wifi work, and I didn’t *see* any bugs. Take that for what you will…

What a great find!
We just came to Savannah for one night for a quick birthday /Christmas shopping trip. What a great find Sandcastle Inn is!!!!! The receptionists were so nice both on check in and check out. The room was very clean with a great tv with apps already on it so you don't need to bring a Roku. The beds were comfortable and the shower was very hot with great water pressure. It is less than a 5 minute walk to the beach and it is right there at the pier. We were there in December so it was too cold to swim but it had the cutest little pool that looked very clean. We will definitely stay here again the next time we go to Savannah.

Property definitely needs some updating, but we didn’t pay too much for the stay. Double room and one mattress had no springs…sunk to the platform. The walls must he paper thin as we heard our neighbors until the middle of the night. Air con was terrible and loud. It stopped working in the middle of the night and had to have the TV volume up way too loud just to hear.

I really hate the AI responses
This is your average 50's era beach motor court hotel. It's dated. The renovation is a little sloppy and amateur. But it's a reasonable price for a hotel close to the beach. What I DESPISE is all the 'understanding' AI responses claiming that they care and will fix the issues. They don't. They won't. The AC still doesn't work well. The toilet is still wobbly. The TV is confusing to use. The floors are kinda dirty. No matter how many reviews mention these things and how many times the AI "understands" the problem and promises to correct it... the AC still won't work. The toilet will still wobble. The floors will still be dirty. It's a budget beach hotel. It's OK. If you are picky, you won't like it. Also, you have to turn the AC down to 60' to get it to work at all. I think it's offset by 10' to try and get people not to use it. Set it to 60', you'll get 70' and it's comfortable.
