We had an "OK" stay here. The price we paid is questionable for the value of what we got. The room itself was fine. The view was nice. However, our hopes of being able to enjoy the balcony to hear the ocean were dashed by air conditioner wonderfully positioned right next to our room and the plentiful noises of the... More

Perhaps the most happening place on any beach is Tybee Island and Desoto Beach Hotel with the ocean side condos are probably the best bet. The condo comes with a balcony overlooking the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. It is never lonely out here since you will always see happy faces freak out on the beach. The rooms are... More

We had 6 people with us for this vacation. We stayed in the Hernando Desoto Suite which was right outside of the lobby, which for us was convenient. Breakfast was right outside of our door as were towels and all needs. Staff was friendly, helpful and very nice. Our room was comfortable, accommodating for 6 people. It was not immaculate... More

On the last day we decided to walk to the beach. As we left the room we passed 4 or 5 cleaning staff. When we came back $140 was gone from my friends wallet and $365 was missing from mine. Credit cards were still there. But $505 was stolen. When we reported to the front desk the manager told us... More

We arrived for a 3 night stay, only to find that our room was barely inhabitable because it was so dirty! There was sand on the nightstand, an empty shampoo bottle by the front door and toothpaste on bathroom counter!! Our shower the next morning revealed a greasy bathtub floor. Ugh! On the second day we were showering when the... More

From bad to worse. When we arrived our room smelled like urine so they moved us. New room smelled fine but my friend's room smelled like perfumed beer. Bedspreads so bad we went to target and bought our own blankets. Coup de gras was waking up to an empty toilet, and then when I flushed (nothing in it just curious... More

I ended up booking this hotel after Howard Johnson's messed up my reservation. I am glad that I did. It costs about 25 dollars more per night. It was worth every penny! The hotel being on the beach was a huge plus. I liked the microwave and fridge in the room. The staff were friendly, helpful and accommodating. I should... More

Our 2 night stay at Desoto Beach Motel was excellent.. Only recommendation would be to add a microwave to the breakfast bar. Rooms were clean. Staff friendly and provided everything we ask about. would love to stay there for a month. Rates could be a little cheaper. maybe senior discounts or aarp. Location is the best.
