Royal Palms Motel

We had a great little vacation here! The walk to the beach is very short, and safe. The rooms are very well kept and the kitchenette is very functional and stylish. We filled the ice bucket and stored it in the freezer, and it lasted the whole trip. It was perfect for my iced coffee on morning beach strolls. We had no neighbor noise issues during our stay and the AC worked amazingly well. I loved the huge Tybee chart mural in our room, it was a very nice touch. The staff was very nice too, we will definitely be staying here again!

A lovely gem and pleasant surprise. 10/10! In my cross country travels, I have had many stays noting that most motels in the affordable range have been mediocre at best, but this one is a stand-out. Starting with before my arrival, a kind friendly call from the front desk, to then arrive at a very sparkly clean and cute room. The bed was super comfortable and location was quiet. (The only challenge was the very loud air conditioner overhead. That was solvable with silicone earplugs.) A five minute walk to the beach in a very safe part of the world. I would definitely come back and highly recommend this place.

We really enjoyed our stay here! Truly a 5 minute walk from our door to the ocean. Easy to check in and get a door code instead of a key which was great to keep our arms light going to and from. There are some things they are working on remodeling and the ventilation in the rooms is hard after everyone showers and has wet clothes from the beach—but that is to be expected in a beach motel. The air conditioner worked great. Each room having a fridge and microwave was a bonus for us as a family. Bathroom is small due to the building being older and renovations not having much space to make it spacious. But it’s the perfect size to have a place to crash for the beach. It’s important to note that the office hours are 9-5. At least when we were there. So be sure to get your requests in before they leave the desk! There isn’t an easy place to get water or ice after the office closes (there is a water refill station in the office) There is an ice machine outside but it needs quarters to run. The pool is beautiful and clean! I’m looking forward to seeing this place continue to improve as we visit over the years.

All I can say is now I want to move here!!!! Everything about this place is amazing! The rooms are super clean and cute. Total retro vibes inside and out. The pool is so clean and in a lovely location close to all rooms. This is a perfect place for a relaxing weekend or party trip. My mom and I brought my daughter her to celebrate her 18th BDay, we loved it soo much we booked an extra day.

We got the 2 suits both was clean and next to each other so it was easy. My family enjoyed the stay and the pool. I love the fact our windows open it was nice having the breeze at night. Staff was friendly, the parking was a little rough at times but that was to be expected considering all the rooms was booked. Will definitely stay again on our next trip

Charming, clean, safe, affordable, and perfectly located! We were traveling back to Kentucky after getting off a cruise in Orlando and decided to check out Tybee Island—and we’re so glad we did! Our stay at the Royal Palms Motel was the perfect little surprise. The room was spotless and had a fun vintage/retro vibe that made it feel unique and cozy. The pool was clean and relaxing, and the lobby was absolutely adorable—very tidy and welcoming. The location was ideal—the beach was just across the road (about a 6-minute walk), and it was an easy walk to all the shops and restaurants in downtown Tybee. The area felt very safe and peaceful, which added to how comfortable we felt during our stay. The woman at the front desk (possibly the owner?) was incredibly kind, helpful, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing experience. And to top it all off—the pricing was great! For the quality, location, and service, it was an excellent value. If you’re road-tripping, passing through, or just want a relaxing, affordable stay near the beach, we highly recommend Royal Palms Motel. We’ll definitely be back!

Hotel was in a great location. Just a short walk to the beach & the pool was nice in the late afternoons. Shopping & restaurants were close enough to walk for us (downtown restaurants/shopping were only about 1/2 mile). Clean, safe, no frills, nothing fancy hotel was perfect for our long weekend trip. The staff was very nice & friendly. The bathrooms & parking were a tad bit tight, but I would definitely stay here again.

Very cute place! Very clean and the retro touches throughout the room really take you back in time. Close to the beach (right across the street) but keep in mind the pier is still another like 7-8 blocks away (15-20min walk). We booked the suite room and did expect it to be a bigger space but since we were only 4 people, it was not too bad. The pool was also great and glad it’s open until late, plus it fits the theme - so cute! This is a self check-in/out place so we did not interact with the staff as much but they did provide a courtesy phone call to inform us our room was ready early! Plus you can park for free and use the pool the day of your check in while you wait for you room! We will be back!

The staff was so friendly and accommodating! We will definitely be going back. We booked a room for a girls trip. Rooms are a little smaller, but location is perfect.

Overall, great stay, great location, good price. The room was clean and just what we needed. It's a quick walk to the beach and "downtown" to the shops. My only "complaint" is that the room itself, particularly the bathroom, was quite small. I feel that the bathroom could have been designed better to maximize space and not feel so cramped. The sink was nearly impossible to wash my face in, but no big deal. I also feel that more storage could have been incorporated into the room, as it was hard to unpack our stuff and still have the room be tidy. But, I was expecting it to be small and so honestly it wasn't a big deal as we barely spent time in the room. If you are on a budget and looking for a clean little place for a few nights, this place is perfect. I would recommend.

Great place. Clean, easy access to parking and the beach, and as many towels as you want. The bed is all memory foam. It's the best hotel bed I've slept on in awhile. Price was cheaper than hotels in the area that are not as nice. Anyone complaining about the size of the rooms is baffling. Are you at Tybee for the beach or to hang out in your hotel room all day? I recommend it.

Adorable little motel! Perfect for a getaway to Tybee- reasonably priced, across the street from beach access, two blocks from the market at 15 minute walk from the pier. The rooms had everything we needed- beds were super comfy, in room air conditioner unit was great after a day outside. Coffee is available once the front office opens in the morning as well. Parking spots are small, so be aware.

Stayed here in April for a quick getaway. I thought I'd got a great deal but this room is about the smallest I've ever seen. My fault for not looking around more but seriously this place is too small. One has to sit sideways on the toilet and the sink is the size of those sinks you spit in at the dentist. The room has no space for even a chair. The staff is nice and gave us extra towels. The whole place is cute but if you need room you will be disappointed.

Very retro and adorable!!! We stayed in a studio unit. The AC was loud but the motel was quiet, comfortable, and clean. They maximized space and provided some storage areas in the room. No closet or living area in the studio unit. Very affordable rates! Plus, it was a good location for the beach, shopping, and restaurants. It was perfect for our 2 night stay! We recommend Sunrise Restaurant and Salt Island Fish & beer. Both were yummy!!! We tried The Breakfast Club, it was okay but nothing special.

Royal Palm is one-half block north of the and across the street from 10th Avenue and its beach entrance, which is an additional block for a total of a five minute-walk to dune boardwalk (another several minutes). Received a welcome phone call from desk clerk Cynthia, then a text with door code, and the next day staffer Becky was visible, helpful and friendly. Our room, 16, was tiny, though clean, and I had no worries about the room or the hotel once we opened up the door. Rooms include a fridge and micro. Mattress was comfortable, but pillows were overstuffed synthetic. The rate before tax was about $250/night, not particularly roomy for the price. Pool area and grounds are well-maintained. I'd go back.

This is a nice motel, gives off great old school vibes. The beds were ok, pillows were not the best. Bad water pressure in the shower and takes a bit to heat up. Pool was okay, sorta dirty and greenish. The walls are very thin, can hear neighbors tv's that are all very loud because the AC units are also very loud. They were about an hour late on check in due to long cleaning, short staffed? Maybe so that's ok just be prepared if it's going to rain. Also no one in the office at all over night incase something happens. I probably wouldn't spend more then a night of 2 like I just did but it's not a bad place for a weekend.

Clean rooms comfortable beds. When we head back to Georgia we will probably use again. Old school motel, no frills, just a good place to sleep and watch television on down time

I am so glad we chose this adorable motel! The renovation they did is so well done. The decor is as perfect as the location. The room was clean, comfortable, and had all the things we needed. The rate was very reasonable for the area. We were just across the street from the entrance to the beach and in walking distance to the grocery store & restaurants, as well as the pier. My only complaint is that the pillows were a little too fluffy! Haha We CAN NOT wait to go back and we will 100% be staying with the incredibly friendly & helpful staff at The Royal Palms.

I wish I could give this motel a higher rating...five wasn't even good enough. The staff are wonderful. We were there on our Anniversary and we were not disappointed. The room was really cute. The pool was great. I would not hesitate to go back and as a matter of fact plan to as soon as possible!

TERRIFIC VALUE!!!!!! The room was nicely air conditioned, the price was as low as I could get on the island, the staff was professional and helpful, the pool was clean, it's a very short walk to either the beach or the local grocery store, and the other guests were mostly families and extremely friendly. I had people offering me burgers and beer the whole time I was there! :) My room and the grounds in general were very clean. There are lovely seating areas for those who want to avoid direct sun also. Another pleasant surprise was the refrigerator; it wasn't normal kitchen size of course, but larger than the tiny "dorm size" little ones. There was a microwave too. Being walking distance to a grocer made this vacation very affordable so much so that I am taking another one next month. They also allow small grills (hence my "neighbors" offering me food which was super cool) Forget the fancy condos; this is where I'll stay on future visits.

Sweet staff but way over priced and room smelt of mildew/mold :/ location was fine but wouldn't stay again

Adorable motel with great value in an awesome location! The rooms were cute and comfortable and we were within close walking distance of the beach and the grocery store. My only complaint is low water pressure in the shower, but other than that a perfect choice!

FIVE STARS FOR SAVINGS IN A TRUBLED ECONOMY I had a great time at Tybee Island this weekend! I really enjoyed my savings when I stayed at the Royal Palm Motel. I give this place an A+ for the low price and the excellent management. In these tough times with gas prices shooting sky high it is wonderful thing when you can find great savings to make vacation time a little more affordable. This is just what I found in The Royal Palm Motel. If you are like me and are just looking for a nice clean place to hang your hat at a great value while you enjoy the beach, the shops and the fun in town then you may want to hang your hat at the Royal Palm on your next trip to Tybee Island. There is also a nice clean pool to relax by. The distance is just a tad bit further from town but an enjoyable walk or the perfect distance for a bike ride.

I am going to start by giving the Royal Palm Motel a 3 star review. My family has been coming to this motel every trip to Tybee we have ever taken. My parents as well. This past week makes about the 5th stay and unfortunately the final stay. I am aware that you cannot help who books the rooms but you most certainly can help who stays. The guest that took over the pool area this last week were loud, inconsiderate of the other guests, cursing in front of the kids and in the pool way past 11pm. The office staff said something 1 time about not doing backflips while we were in the pool. This went on for the an entire week. When they started talking about "Negro" that's when I decided to take my kids inside. I have never felt more uncomfortable. That's my most major complaint... The rooms are becoming very outdated. The carpet flooring is disgustingly dirty so much so you cannot wear white socks. The bottoms of your feet become very filthy! Sad to say we won't be returning to the Royal Palms, which is sad for me. This used to be a very family friendly place to come

My wife and I recently stayed at the Royal Palm Motel while closing on a house on Tybee Island, and we were very happy with our spotless room, the reasonable rates, and the friendly, welcoming staff. We highly recommend the Royal Palm Motel.

Yes,Me,&my husband have always loved staying @Royal Palm Motel every time we came down there for ann.,vac.,honeymoon.&we give it a 5star rating as well.The only complaint we had was the noise @the pool in the evenings.But it's been 5yrs since we've been down there,&we miss it.hope to come soon!

I loved this older motor inn. It was close enough to everything including a grocery store. The lady that owns it is super sweet and helpful. The price was awesome.

My sisters and I stayed here a couple of weeks ago. The room isn't perfect, but the price is and the beds were clean and comfy. Plenty of hot water for three back to back showers, plenty of towels (you do have to ask for extras but they will happily give you all you need) and the air conditioning worked great. The pool was clean and the staff was very friendly. It's a short walk to the beach or you can pay to park closer or pay to ride the hopper. If you're considering a trip to Tybee but are on a tight budget, you should check out the classic Royal Palm!

This is an older motel but is SO CLEAN! We stayed in a single double room which, was very small but perfect for our short getaway. Staff was very polite and always made sure we had everything we needed. Pool was very clean and it was very convenient location to the pier and a short walk to the beach. Will be returning.
