This was our second time staying at the Sandcastle Inn. We have enjoyed our stays. The only down side is if you have two vehicles when they are full, you have to park one somewhere else. For us it wasn’t a problem because of all the parking on the streets and it’s walking distance to the beach (which has parking)

Very basic room

The photos presented on websites are deceiving..yes the rooms are simple with a TV and free wi-fi - they are in dire need of total renovation..sink was old and without a stopper; towels pretty weathered and forget about any housekeeping. Check in happens across the street at a sister property which was not convenient when the room key no longer worked. If a very basic room is needed - this would be the place.

The room was a smoking room, but could have used some detailed cleaning. The lady in office said she would come clean, but we didn't want any one in room. Cleaned it up myself. Lady in office was great

Although the hotel had an atmsphere of days gone by, the rooms showed that as well. Very much in need of updates. Rates were comparable to updated rooms, but without the updates. Door was about to break, and room smelled moldy.

The Sandcastle Inn was not a great experience on Tybee. Though the staff were friendly, the low cost attracted a poor clientele. Between drunken parties, big loud dogs, and the cops banging on a room door at 7:30am, I can't recommend the establishment. Further, I found a few bugs in the bathroom and on the bed. Plus, I couldn't make it the first day of my reservation, but was charged for it anyway. Just a heads up to all tempted by the low price. You'll get what you pay for at this location.

Stayed 3 nights off-season (March) and was perfectly happy with the Sandcastle when considering price/amenities ratio. It's not a fancy hotel, but met our needs just fine at a good price compared to other options on Tybee. Super-convenient location that is walkable to just about everything, including numerous restaurants, the "main" street stores and dining/bars, and the beach (a block or so away). Room was basic but fine, clearly an older motel that has been somewhat (but not totally) updated. Our only real complaint was noise from the street, but that's probably an issue with other hotels on that street as well. If you are a light sleeper you may want to bring earplugs or run the HVAC fan all night as we did, which made it fine.
