Parking is very tight fitting. Ice maker for back rooms doesn’t work have go to front of building to get ice. Toilet made loud running sound when other rooms used theirs. But was close to Shops and Beach. Would stay again. Just needs a little attention to some things.

We always stay here when we travel to Tybee. We have tried the other hotel behind Tybee (Hotel Tybee) and we prefer Sandcastle Inn much more. It’s an older hotel as they all are there but it is clean and the staff is top notch. They don’t have an elevator so if you require one definitely ask for handicap accessible room. It’s about a 3 min walk to the beach and it’s very conveniently located walking distance to Tybrisa street. They have an outdoor pool that is well kept as well.

Pro's: okay price compaired to nearby competitors, location was nice and close to the beach without needing to cross a mainroad, staff were friendly and parking lot felt safe, had a microwave and fridge, room smelled okay, was across the street from a cute dog friendly restaurant <3 Potential areas of improvement: AC unit kept shutting off and the room got hot overnight, bathrooms are incredibly small- may want to be cautious if traveling with burly gentlemen

It was one of the best hotels in the area that's for sure!!! Centrally located with everything around it, the sting ray across the street the tryler park restaurant nextdoor and the breakfast club at the end of the block were great but everything is right around it with in a few minute walk. Don't forget Jason at the daiquiri bar which was amazing too. Also can't forget Halo at the Pier 16 restaurant what a meal and great service. The beach is literally right behind the hotel less than 10 minutes to a perfect spot. The Hotel was nice very retro needed a little work but we all do lmao, the pool was great especially being open until 10 so you could do some night swimming and our room was great the bed was comfortable, they gave us enough pillows which I'm always concerned about, the shower was odd and took some getting used too. Overall it was a great stay and I recommend it to anyone.
