Guest Reviews

• Brittany (10/5): It was amazing honestly my go to hotel. It was clean and very comfortable to stay in. Enough privacy given. - I love how welcoming the front desk was and also how close it was to the beach!!! Walking distance was amazing. N/A
• Lisa (3/5): - The bed was comfortable. Air conditioner worked great. Shower was hot. Pool was small. Room was old and needs updating. Shower wall was cracked. No amount of cleaning can make the room better. Picture on websites misleading. Not enough parking for guests,.
• Irving (8/5): - Es acogedor
• Lord (8/5): Well worth the money to see the beach and a rock concert. - I didn’t have time for breakfast. The beach is across the parking lot, so no crossing the street. My only complaint would be about the parking and ice machine not working. Other than that all expectations were met if not over exceeded. The parking was pretty tight. The manager did warn me to keep my spot off I found one. I found one but I couldn’t miss my show just to have a parking spot. I ended up parking on the side of the building when I got back that night. Not that big of a deal
• Gabrielle (8/5): It was short, wish it was longer! - The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The location was great! No real complaints!
• Kim (9/5): -
• Lakesia (1/5): - I never stayed wanted refund couldn’t get it The rooms wasn’t up to par
• Ain (9/5): -
• Sabra (4/5): - the location the bed was comfortable loved the pillows they use actual comforters not those ugly bed covers that don't work for a blanket...which is why I aways bring a comforter. pool was too cold to use and dirty constant smell of weed in the room especially if you left and came back lack of parking...we left by vehicle once and came back to no place to park! I was not paying for parking after paying for a hotel!
• Brandy (4/5): - The price was great for a quick weekend get away. They did honor my wish of providing me with a bottom floor room since my mom has trouble with her knees and it takes a lot of effort to climb stairs. The security lock was broken on the door. The bathroom door would not close so when you used the bathroom, you had to hold it close with your leg. Only the shower worked so you couldn't take a bath. The ice machine in the back didn't work.
• Karine (5/5): -
• Denise (10/5): Overall the stay was great. The staff was absolutely wonderful. I did not catch their names but they were very helpful, - I loved the location, value and staff Bathroom is very small and there was a moist smell to the room and black spots on the ceiling in the bathroom.
• Elizabeth (10/5): Everything went well staff was helpful and nice. - Walking distance to the beach, gas station, restaurants, and shopping! Parking is tight.
• candice (6/5): -
• Kankanala (9/5): - Well Cleaned Nothing
• Duff (10/5): - Location and staff was so nice Absolutely nothing it was an amazing stay
• Chris (4/5): Probably doable if it didn't cost anywhere near as much - The look of the room was pleasant, and the location was nice. The room looked clean and nice at first glance, but there was a sulfur smell. When taking a shower, the drain was so clogged that by the time a shower was done, you would be standing in about 4 inches of water and ick. Even after manually removing a disgusting amount of hair and other material from the drain, the water would still not drain properly during a shower. The sink would gargle several minutes after use from the backed up plumbing slowly releasing the drain water. The air conditioner unit would come on every 5-7 minutes and it would blow like a tornado through the room for all of about 20 seconds and then shut back off for another 5-7 minutes. The hard surface flooring in the room felt greasy and shoes had to be worn when not in the bed. When we checked out in the morning, the office was closed, so I was unable to disclose my issues to any staff and we ended up just leaving. I won't be back here again, and if we had needed to spend any more time in the room than we did. We probably would have left early.
• Billy (10/5): -
• Amber (4/5): - Close to the beach and shops, pet friendly Beds where really hard and uncomfortable, the pool was closed the whole time.
• Barfield (10/5): - The staff was wonderful Nothing
• Dana (9/5): -
• Dillon (8/5): - Very clean, cozy, and well stocked with amenities. Friendly staff, hot showers, and only a 10 min walk to the beach! For less than 100$ you simply can not beat the Sandcastle inn, will absolutely return for another night! <3 The worst thing about Sandcastle inn is the pool. While it was clean, well maintained, and relaxingly cold; the fact that the water provided no uplift and was filled to the brim with chlorine left me unable to overlook some glaring issues. I could only sink while i was in the deep end, so i had to stay around the middle to be submerged comfortably. But in the middle there is a extremely slippery tile decoration that forces you to watch your step, almost causing us to slip numerous times. There is no lifeguard either, which id think could be fine if anyone could float in the water, but we felt it was dangerous to do so in its current state. Besides the pool the only other issue we had was that the bathroom was a little confusing to us. It seems like someone tried to break the door down and the fix they provided was to bend the hinges and tape the door back together. I wish i had taken photos but the stay was so nice that i felt it was unnecessary
• Clayton (2/5): It was very unpleasurable. The shower and tv were okay but getting bit by bed bugs is not - I liked the location and surrounding area of the hotel I got bit by bed bugs everywhere, and there were exposed wires all around, and the shower floor was dirty
• Rebecca (5/5): -
• HELEN (8/5): -
• Eva (10/5): Nice comfortable beach stay. Clean and local to everything we wanted. - The location was awesome! Our room was clean. It was a typical oceanside room. We are not at the Ritz. But our room was very clean, beds comfortable and we had everything we needed.
• Win (6/5): - Connivence Had to change rooms 3 times. Mold in shower.
• Matthew (8/5): -
• Brenda (1/5): -
• Sandi (9/5): -
• keith (6/5): Ok place to spend the nite - Good location near the beach. Friendly staff Got locked in the bathroom! Door knob wouldn't turn, took me (inside) and partner (outside) to turn the knob to get out. Alerted the staff that it needs to be replaced. The A/C was very noisy and when turning on the heat produced an odd smell. The bathroom vent on the wall didn't appear to work at all.
• Stephanie (1/5): I would never recommend this place to anyone. - Nothing. We ordered a non smoking room and someone had smoked in it. It stunk really bad. The bathroom hadn’t been cleaned. We didn’t even stay. Now they won’t refund me any of the charges.
• michael (6/5): - Clean and comfortable
• Darcy (9/5): It was a quick stop and great place to do it at - Great location Inside the rooms are tired
• patrick (9/5): -
• BRITNI (10/5): Great last minute stay - Friendly staff
• Gypsy1824 (7/5): - Location Booking.com changed my room to a non smoking so we didn't get a smoking room. The beds are super uncomfortable.
• Sarah (10/5): -
• john (4/5): Would not recommend - There was none Room smelled like mildew
• Garner (8/5): -
• Bobbie (7/5): -
• ENARES (10/5): Muy buena ubicación la alberca bien pues en lo personal me gustó sólo fue un día pero estuvo cómodo,por el precio y la u - Excelente!!! Se me hizo limpio y la recepción genial !!! Si volvería a hospedarme ahí 👍👍👍👍
• Carolann (1/5): Sooo deceiving!!! - Nothing! Disgusting! Filthy, soiled towels were left from previous guests! Bathroom was never cleaned from previous guests! Same as above
• Danielle (8/5): - Don’t like that you have to check in at 4. Really don’t get your money worth, not even a whole 24 hrs.
• Amy (7/5): Great place to stay but needs a few upgrades. - Walking distance to the beach was perfect, the size of the room for family of four was great for one night stay, loved how quiet the location was. Also, so close to anything you needed. I would definitely book again no doubt. The TV wouldn't work properly. We started to watch a movie then it would cut off after about 10-15mins. Thought maybe it was user error it happened three more times. We checked the settings, we couldn't figure it out. Luckily, we were there to "unplug" for the most part, so not so serious. Toilet needed some work maybe major rebuild or new toilet in general. Parking was difficult especially when other customers didn't know how too.

• Sharell (10/5): -
• Alexia (8/5): -
• Hilda (9/5): -
• Amanda (9/5): -
• Ross (8/5): Good room, bad location - location to beach.. that i was put on the second floor, after requesting bottom floor, cause I have no feelings in my legs, extreme hard to go up stairs .. But they tried.. I did make my request before I arrived , and at check in..
• Tonia (5/5): The hotel location is great. The staff is very nice and helpful. It’s nothing fancy, but we weren’t looking for fancy. I - The proximity to the beach is walkable. Hearing the children running around, at all times of day and night. It was very loud. This really wasn’t the fault of the property. It would be good if they could figure out how to insulate a little better, but yeah, not an easy fix.
• Pennington (8/5): -
• Joey (4/5): - Ac not working at times Bathroom area not clean Floors needed mopping smell bad like dirty socks
• Rebekah (1/5): The worst place I’ve ever stayed at - It was kinda close to the beach and good walking distance from shops nearby. I was put in a smoking room that I did not ask for I wouldn’t have minded if I wasn’t pregnant and when I asked to switch rooms they said they did not have anymore. Since it was the only room available and I couldn’t get a refund I took the room. When I got the room the smell of smoke wasn’t too bad but there was not a mirror in the room because the people who stayed before us had a frat party and broke it. Also there were a few flies and a couple bats in the room and pet hair on the comforter. There was something wrong with the toilet leaking water from bottom. Also barely any water comes out of the cold side of the sink and the drain in the sink has a very bad smell coming out of it I had to cover it with a rag and couldn’t use it the entire time.
• Willa (8/5): We got our money’s worth, would stay again for a short stay. What we were really unhappy with was not property related- - Good value for cost. Super clean surfaces- beds, vanity, bathtub. Quiet, good supply of hot water. Very friendly staff. Bathroom super small and cramped, very dated and needs a deep cleaning where floor meets tub and walls.

• Alan (6/5): -
• Rose (10/5): Great budget hotel - Location , cleanliness and pool was open even though it was chilly outside Some noise but got quiet at 10 pm every evening
• Damon (10/5): Thank you for all of the help and service - The location and the people that work there No complaints
• tiffany (4/5): - The lady at the desk was nice The whole place is extremely dated and dirty. Moldy smelling linens. Uncomfortable beds. Cockroaches
• Bethany (10/5): - Close to the beach and clean The bed was hard
• Jakeia (7/5): Love the area but not the hotel - I love that the hotel was right near everything! Food , beach, fun, it was all within walking distance. The room was quite small, beds were not really comfortable, bathroom tub was clogged, sink was clogged and behind the toilet was dirty. The bathroom was very very small. The Refrigerator was was leaking, the room door was crunched up at the bottom so bugs could get in if they wanted too. Hangers were rusted.
• Jennifer (9/5): -
• brandi (10/5): Best place to stay for the price. - Perfect walking distance from everything. Nothing. We always enjoy our stay here
• Brown (8/5): -
• Jill (2/5): Would not recommend. - Nothing really. Very outdated. Location is on the main strip and has a lot of people around at ALL times. I’ve been to Tybee many times and for the first time, I didn’t feel very safe. Additionally, they charge a lot for what you get.
• Beth (9/5): -
• Josephine (4/5): Not worth the money. - Staff The shower, the sink and the coffee maker.
• Franki (7/5): -
• Tammy (4/5): The beach was the saving grace. - The closeness to the beach and favorite restaurant. Even though the property seemed fully booked, it was nice and quiet at slumber hours. When I made reservation, I requested ground floor, when given a second floor room, I mentioned the fact to the clerk but she didn't acknowledge it, I just left. The room toilet did not flush. When I returned to let front desk know, Mrs Dawn was very pleasant and said she would go check it out. When I returned to front desk after store run she had changed my room to a ground floor room. I was appreciative of her effort and pleasantness. The second room toilet worked but the tissue would come back up after the flush. The sink took forever to drain. The beds were not comfortable at all. The wifi was sporadic. I stayed here 2 years ago, and it has definitely gone downhill.

• JoAnn (10/5): -
• Tammy (8/5): We will stay again - Close to beach
• Christy (3/5): One and done - Close to the beach. The room smelled like mildew was very rusty and the floor was dirty , turned my feet black.

• Kemi (6/5): The Sandcastle Inn was alright to stay in but getting into our room 2 hours later made our trip mediocre at best. I wil - The location was near the beach and restaurants Check-in is 4:00 and our room wasn’t ready until 5:40. This is a hardship on families traveling all day.
• Lindsey (3/5): -
• Jena (7/5): Great location near beach. - Great location, right in the heart of all the restaurants, bars and shops. Very close to beach. Bathrooms need overhaul, tiles grout is dirty. Water pressure in sinks is low and the height of vanity is low and needs updating.
• Bola (5/5): -
• Brandi (10/5): Beautiful affordable beach stay - The beach was beautiful, it was close to a lot of restaurants
• Malach (10/5): -
• Justin (10/5): -
• Brian (8/5): -
• warren (7/5): - Booked a ground floor room was not honored
• Brent (8/5): -
• stephanie (10/5): -
• China (10/5): It was nice and clean - remodeled and clean Pool very small
• Latoya (9/5): - The room was a good size and had everything I needed. The noise from outside.. People came out both mornings before 8am talking and laughing loudly til almost 10am. It's very inconsiderate to others that want to sleep in. The office should let everyone know checking in to be aware of the noise they make outside the room doors to be considerate of others.
