Buyer Beware - This place is not at all what it appears to be online. I'm a seasoned traveler and I am pretty realistic and understand that not every place you book will be everything you expect but this place was beyond disappointing. As a surprise for our wedding anniversary, I booked a trip with the first half in Tybee and the second half at another hotel in Savannah. Don't get me wrong, Tybee is wonderful.... This review is strictly on the Hotel Tybee - not the Island. When I booked, I was willing to pay the extra money for the king, ocean view room, thinking we could have wine on the balcony overlooking the beach and ocean. We drove down from Atlanta and got in around 9:00pm on Friday night and immediately realized that the marketing material for this hotel is very misleading. If you look at the photo of the hotel on their website, it appears to be sitting on the beach. What they don't show in their photos is that behind the sand dunes is a huge city parking lot that remains open to the public at all hours. All those pricier ocean view rooms and every room facing the ocean actually has a balcony that hangs out over this parking lot. Your actual view is a lot full of cars, dumpsters, and a bunch of port-o-pots. Don't expect any romantic evening chats on the balcony overlooking the beach... what you get is noisy car radios and pedestrians walking in this parking lot at all hours. To make matters worse, the hotel, while not "officially" hosting this event had most of their rooms booked by members of this huge event called "Orange Crush" so there were 20 somethings roaming the halls, doors hanging open, and people hanging off balconies and yelling back and forth from the parking lot. We didnt sleep until after 3AM both nights. The hotel had hired security for this event, which was basically a guy in each hotel tower checking armbands which they made all guests wear for the duration of their stay to get into the buildings. That didnt stop friends of guests from going in via the ground level balconies. The parking lot attendant for the hotel and these hallway monitors treated us like we were part of this big party and not like a couple who had just paid for a relaxing weekend at the beach. The rooms in the hotel have walls that are paper thin and we could hear conversations in other rooms and because of a huge gap in our door that allowed light to flood into the room, we also smelled pot the whole weekend because there was no one stopping the smoking in the halls and these rooms, even though many of the doors were hanging open. The hotel is actually two large towers but the office is in a totally separate building by itself and doesn't face the guest room towers. Because they are isolated, they are not as aware or in touch with the actual noise or activity that takes place in the towers. There is no breakfast provided or offered at this hotel and nothing that makes you feel like they want guests to feel welcome or to make a return stay. I think they do the bare minimum and expect the ocean to be the primary draw. The Orange Crush event was a huge issue for us but, ultimately, it was the managements handling of my complaint and their overall attitude and lack of empathy that make it clear that they are interested in your money and not your satisfaction with your stay. The manager, Donna, basically argued with me on the phone and told me that I should have left a day earlier and had I complained earlier, she would have been able to rent my room to any one of the member of the Orange Crush party (the same party that had the sponsor arrested for trashing a rental home on Tybee that same weekend). I could go on about the overall experience but the bottom line is that this hotel is not at all what you want if you are hoping for a relaxing weekend on beautiful Tybee Island. My overall experience and interactions with the management and their misleading marketing photos really tarnished my impression of this place. Don't spend your money here... you will regret it! read more
