It was an enjoyable stay! The room was clean and management responded quickly to my needs.
I went to get coffee the last morning and a cockroach came out of the coffee pot. If I can I would post a picture. I messaged the manager and still haven’t heard back from them. Unprofessional. Beds are too small for frame .and when someone got switch to room 5 there were dead roaches on floor I have pictures of that as well . She had kids . I can’t believe they have people stay there and knowing the infestation.
It was not a good experience or at all as represented in the expedia profile. 100 bucks a night for no amenities, internet, ice machine nothing. The room was not well cleaned and dirt or stains all over floor. I left another room in Tybee island thinking it was bad and got not quite as bad. Do not use the place unless last resort.
Absolute worst expererience ive ever had checking in. After an employee finally showed up a literal hour late we were given a room on the other side of the building that had a dirt path to get to. Room was half ass renovated and had heavily stained carpets and towels. Daylight was visible around a cheap retail window unit for ac. Bugs in room. Stay away from here. Go camping instead if youre tight on money. We just ate our payment for this and went to the other side of the island for a safe and clean weekend.

The room was a bit outdated, the front area had a fan that did not circulate the air so it was stuffy. One of the lightbulbs fell out since it was shaking. Other than that it was convenient to our needs.

The room was exactly what we needed for a quick beach getaway. The lady in the office was great.
The bathroom was nice but only and old, dirty fan light. Toilet paper roll not on wall but sitting on sink. Door had been kicked in multiple times a d not repaied. Slept with huger heavy cooler blocking door. Light in room had a broken shade and was a fire hazzard. Carpet filthy, my feet turned black. Outdoor seating was in bad shape, can i say, splinters anyone?
The room was decent, definitely not as nice as pictures portrayed. Bed was comfy. Bedding was pretty although when we we arrived, one bed didnt have a comforter. We left briefly and returned to find a comforter in a bag on the bench outside. Ac window unit was super loud but we were basically just there to sleep so I didn't mind the background noise for sleep. Bathroom was clean and towels were thick, nice quality. The door was difficult to open & shut and was very loud. The door jams & doors were pretty dirty with fingerprints everywhere.
There was no staff on the property, they just left our keys in a mailbox. This didn't feel super safe to me. We get into the room and there was at least 30 to 50 small fly type bugs, I squished up to 30 of them. The carpet, door frames and fridge look like it hadn't been cleaned in years. The beds were hard and stained, I cut my let on the side of the bed because hard knobs were sticking out. It was convenient to walk down to the beach and was nice to walk back to the shower.
The office was unmanned the entire time we were there, Fri night - Mon morning. There is a sign on the door with a number to call, but nobody you could speak to face-to-face. The hotel is dated, but clean. It cracked me up that we had a full kitchen, complete with stove. But very few dishes, I think one frying pan, and 2 spoons and 2 was it for silverware. I should have been working this weekend, but we didn’t have an internet connection. I reported it on Saturday and asked again on Sunday, but no luck… so there I was at McD’s for hours on end because I couldn’t get a refund and move to another hotel…. Nice if you just need a place to sleep, but I wouldn’t recommend if you plan to spend any time in the room.
