#3 of 5 hotels in Tybee Island by Axel's take. Tybee Island is #5 of 6 places to stay in Savannah. The best hotels in Tybee Island, ranked · Where to stay in Savannah

Axel's take: 7.6/10

A good beach base, but aging rooms and a closed crossover temper the appeal. a no-frills, motel-style beachfront hotel on Tybee Island, scored for what it is.

DeSoto Beach Hotel is a no-frills, motel-style beachfront stay on Tybee Island, not in downtown Savannah. It’s a good pick for travelers who prioritize the coast over polished interiors. Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise friendly staff and clean rooms, while oceanfront balconies are a particular draw. The heated-and-cooled outdoor pool, included continental breakfast and one parking space per room make the basics convenient.

The trade-offs are dated finishes, recurring housekeeping and musty-odor complaints, and a breakfast that is more functional than generous. Crucially, the hotel currently says its beach crossover is closed because of erosion; guests must use the next dune path. Confirm the exact room category, since partial ocean views are not oceanfront balconies. Nightly service and credit-card fees also blunt the value. We’d skip it for a polished resort experience or guaranteed direct beach access.

  • Best for: couples prioritizing beach views; families wanting a simple coastal base; travelers who prefer practical extras to luxury

  • Watch out for: Beach crossover closed because of erosion; Dated rooms and uneven housekeeping; Nightly service fee and credit-card surcharge

  • Location: Beachfront on Tybee Island; the hotel directs guests to the next dune path while its crossover is closed.

  • Rooms: Practical rooms with refrigerators and microwaves; oceanfront balconies and partial-view rooms are distinct categories.

  • Cleanliness: Mostly positive overall, but recent guests repeatedly flag cleaning lapses and musty smells.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful staff are a consistent strength across booking and review sites.

  • Amenities: Outdoor heated-and-cooled pool, basic continental breakfast, Wi-Fi and one parking space per room.

  • Fees and surprises: Official policies list a nightly service fee, a credit-card surcharge and a one-night reservation deposit; bring beach towels.
