After a long cold winter in the UK to arrive in Tybee Island and the Desoto Beach Hotel was just what my husband and I needed to unwind and recharge our batteries. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful on check in room spacious and well equipped. What more could we ask for a well maintained swimming pool with... More

We stayed at the Desoto in their 2 bedroom hotel room. It was a converted conference room, the room door was in the middle of the lobby. The beds were comfortable, furniture not. Great idea but they need to put more effort into making the it a true 2 bedroom unit.

Near the north end of the island, you are away from most (not all) restaurants and shops, but you can easily walk anywhwre as we did every day. There is NO free parking on the island so it was nice to park at check in and never move the car. A spacious and clean room with really no view of... More

It was our honeymoon. Our credit card was charged $250.00 for smoking in the room and we don't smoke. We tried to reason with the manager and owner and they refused. They could not give proof of any smoking. We had to call the front desk at 5 a.m. to report vandalism and guys urinating off the top balcony. We... More

We had a good experience at this hotel. We didnt have reservations and the staff was nice and helped us out with a discount. The room was basic with two beds but clean the little frig added a nice touch. Being this close to the beach with a pool was a big plus and easy to get to from our... More

It is an older hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms (ocean view) were on the small side. The shower and toilet were right next to the bed while the sink area was around the corner in the hallway entrance. The continental breakfast consisted of oatmeal, bagels, tiny donuts, toast, cereal, yogurt, juice, milk and coffee. I... More

I spent 3 days at this older but great hotel. Rooms are clean which is very important to me and my family. Our room was not facing the beach but its just a few steps to the pool and sand. The staff is very friendly and answered many questions about where to eat and visit this being our first time... More

This is an old property that has (and continues) renovations that keep it clean, but not a lot can be done for the fact that it is an older property with yesterday's access and parking. The one bright spot is that it is clean and has a heated pool (a heated pool is a rare thing on Tybee) You must... More

The hotel is not fancy...it is pretty typical of a small Oceanside hotel. That said, the Ocean is right there! The view from our room was fantastic. We had pretty mild weather during our stay, which made the heated pool a nice feature, it was toasty warm! The ocean never disappoints, so the easy access is wonderful. The staff was... More

My friend and I had reservations to stay at the Desoto Beach hotel for 4 nights, however, as soon as we arrived, we were looking for another hotel to stay. The staff was extremely unprofessional, and the room was not very clean. It was an outside entrance room, and there was an opening in the door large enough for us... More
