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.

Not worth a fraction of the cost.

I cannot believe I paid to stay here. For reference, I come to Tybee every year at this time. This is the worst trip I have ever taken; truly a disappointment. For starters, the office was closed and I had to go to a different office upon check in. The attendant at the office was less than cheery, we’ll just leave it at that. When I got to my physical room, I was shocked at the state of the room. It looks nothing like the photos (kudos to the photographer). The floor was filthy, the baseboards were broken, cracked, and falling off the walls, the sink was absolutely disgusting, the bathroom tile was cracked, and if you told me someone was murdered in the tub in 1982, I would believe you. The toilet didn’t properly flush, and it ran all night no matter what I did. The beds were far from comfortable, the sheets were thin, the air conditioning didn’t work well, the door didn’t seal and didn’t lock unless it was half open… very secure feeling for two women traveling alone. I wouldn’t stay here again if the room was offered for free, I pray someone reads this and it saves them the money I wish I would have saved myself. The only positive is the 7 channels and wifi work, and I didn’t *see* any bugs. Take that for what you will…
