Royal Palms Motel

A perfect "Route 66" type hotel, very clean and comfortable. pool was amazing. Very close to beach and main street. We rented a tandem bicycle just down the street and had lunch at Fannie's by the beach, had great conversations with the locals and staff.

I had read the previous reviews about the Royal Palms in Tybee Island and was looking forward to our trip. Unfortunately, it was not the accommodations I expected. There are a few things I need to mention that would have made our time in room 20 more pleasant. First, the bathroom is tiny and poorly designed. The faucet was way too large for the small sized , the toilet seat was loose and the top of the seat was broken. This made it difficult to use the facilities, especially since the location of the toilet made it impossible to sit straight ahead without putting one's feet in the shower. We had to use the toilet side saddle. Also the hairdryer was broken. The biggest issue we had was the odor when you entered and clammiest of the room. Our sheets were damp from the humidity which made it very uncomfortable to sleep. Any clothing left out of the suitcase became clammy as well. Even our phones had moisture on them. We had the air conditioner on fan but it didn't help. The motel should consider putting a humidifier in the rooms. It might help. Also something to capture the moldy smell. On the positive front desk people were lovely and the location is great and had it not been damp, the bed would have been very comfortable. Making a few changes would improve our overall rating from fair to very good.

Clean room. Nice pool. Friendly helpful staff. But not quite as advertised on social media and website. Is treated much more like a condo rental than a motel, so we have to ask for towels and trash removal, which are things you normally get in a hotel/motel. Bathroom was very small and hard to negotiate. Parking spaces are small. Don't regret staying here but will not be back.

Rooms are fair enough sized, laid out weird. You walk into a bedroom/livingroom, couch sits under tv facing the bed. Issues 6 digit key code to use as a key, which was odd, door didn’t shut right unless slammed. Bathroom is in other room, outer bedroom has to walk through second room to use it, parking lot is super tight. Pool is small but adequate. Within walking distance to beach and pier. Staff in office was very nice, price was ok. Might try somewhere else next time.

My girlfriend and I were visiting Tybee Island for the day and in dire need of transportation back to downtown Savannah. Cynthia went out of her way to help us pin down a ride as Uber’s and Lyft’s are tough to locate. You rock, Cynthia!!! Thank you so much for helping us secure a private car company. Southern hospitality at its finest.

Not bad - Renovated first floor king room, June 2023, solo traveler. Bed was comfortable, sheets pillows etc clean. kitchenette was clean and stocked with coffee / kerig machine. bathroom was sort of clean-ish...there was debris on the shower floor, no towels or soaps /shampoo. When I address this issue to the front desk, they were gracious, kind and corrected the issue immediately. In fact, the customer service was perfect for my whole stay. Not great - bathroom shower is great, toilet is great tile is great, bathroom sink is about 8 inches square and pointless. To wash your face you must stand in the shower. To brush your teeth, you spit in the shower because the sink is so tiny. Why did they remodel with such tiny sinks with the wheeled cart is larger than the sink??? Elongated toilet, they should have used a round toilet...you must sit sideways or front facing you put your feet on the shower curb...most peculiar. Luggage & general storage etc....is limited. The rooms need a dresser to lay things out on. The rooms were clean but not really clean. For example, I spilled cola on the floor, when I wiped it up, the cloth was black from dirt...not brown from the cola. Would I stay here again...probz not because the bathroom sink is not practical/no countertop.
