Royal Palms Motel

Looks straight out of the 1960s! Convient location. Parking spaces too tight. Had to let people out of car before parking. Would not recommend if you have a large vehicle. Pull out sofa bed was terrible! Don't rent if you have more than 4 people. Pool area was nice. The kids enjoyed it. We really liked the contactless check-in and check-out via text messaging. Staff were polite and helpful when we requested bedding and towels, as there was only enough for 4 people in the room even though the reservation was for 6. Overall, it was worth it for the price.

Room was very clean. Needed attention paid to the outside. Fresh paint needed. Parking lot needs work. Hard to pull in and out.

Clean, friendly helpful staff, so convenient to IGA, Beach 5 min walk. Plenty of restaurants and shops. Great pool area. Rooms were so cool in this crazy heat! My family had an amazing time. We will be staying again!

There is no assigned parking. We had to park at the road in the last spot but we still got a spot. The tiles in bathroom were a little stained. We booked the studio and that’s exactly what we got. It is small but perfect for a couple or single person. Overall it’s the perfect little place to sleep.

Upon arrival after 4.5 hours of driving with a 6 year old, getting in around midnight, we found little to no parking. The spots are so narrow that there are nearly inches between you and another vehicle. Our first night we had to go around the parking lot 4 times to find a spot to fit our small suv in. Because it was at night, it made it more difficult. This caused us to avoid leaving by car for any destination at all costs throughout our stay with the fear of losing a decent spot. In addition, while the motel is esthetically pleasing, there were several issues in quality of maintenance. For example, lamps that are in the wall by the beds were falling off and you could not turn them on. The only light option was the ceiling light. The window in the bathroom was poor. Looked like it had a weird film over it or painted over. It also looked like it wasn’t properly sealed at the bottom or unable to close. There was a huge spot on the wall near the AC where a leak may have been, wood floors were separating towards that area of the room as well. Front door was not sealed properly so heat would come in at the top. In addition, we never saw a single staff member. Cynthia was very pleasant on the phone to confirm our room. We did text about an issue with yellow jackets flooding the front door (due to them liking a palm tree) and I did hear them spray. I did complain about the parking with zero response. I could go on but there’s no room left to type.

Pool was a nice temperature. Code was ready to open the door upon arrival. Rooms were clean & well stocked. This is an older motel with a quaint, cozy, old-fashioned ocean type character. If you’re looking for a fancy, modern motel, look elsewhere. We loved this one for its uniqueness. Two light glass globes on the ceiling lights need to be replaced or cleaned, on the inside; otherwise our stay was great.

Honesty, I wasnt that impressed upon pulling in to the property. The room, however was just fine for my mother & I. It was conveniently located within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. My only complaint is that parking is very tight.

Great pool.

Cute little boutique hotel. Room was clean, although the shower floor could use some cleaning/bleach. Cute decor, fridge, microwave, and Keurig. Comfy bed. Tiny bathroom, but served its purpose. Smallest sink I’ve ever seen in the states. Good TV. Parking is very tight… but at least it’s there and free. Nice pool. Great check in and out!

Parking was small, room wasn't really what was pictured. But it was overall fine for a one night stay.

Even though the motel is older, it was very clean. The staff was friendly and hospitable. We would stay here again.

The room was so cute! It was well appointed and very clean. Beds were very comfortable. All in all a great little stay!

My young son and I stayed one night. We arrived super early and the office wasn't open yet. Just be aware the office doesn't open until 10:30, at least on a Sunday. And there is nothing to do within walking distance. You are able to use the pool or go to th beach if you're early though. Once the office opened, Becky was amazing and so friendly! There's a restroom you can use in the office, filtered water, etc. And she has great recommendations for Tybee. We went out with some friends, and she sent a text and called to follow up once our room was ready. After we can back from our day out, we decided to get in the pool for a bit. The water was perfect, though the pool itself could use a little upkeep. And some other guests had glass bottles in the pool area, which is stated to be prohibited. The chairs and umbrellas around the pool are clean and in great condition, they look brand new. The exterior of the motel could use some upkeep, but you can tell they are doing what they can. I feel like they must have a checklist that they are going through. The inside of our room was great. Very cheerful and fun, without being overdone. The beds were super comfortable, and there is a fridge, microwave, and Keurig machine. We had plenty of room for the two of us. Some of the fixtures could stand to be updated, like the brass wall lamps. (If I'm being picky!) The floors looked brand new and were very clean. im about out of room but I could go on! I would probably stay here again.

Clean room. No fuss check-in/check-out. Very attentive staff! 100% will return!

Clean

Clean room! Comfy beds. Nice location. Bathroom was a little rough, sink was very small. Overall a good experience for the price.

Nice and clean motel.

It was not perfect, but bed and bathroom was pretty clean and the floor not clean. Room was so cute even not too clean

The room was clean and beautiful. The bathroom was a bit uncomfortable, due to the placement of the toilet in the corner. Our feet sat on the rim of the shower when we had to use it. That should be on the list to remodel or upgrade soon. People with mobility issues would have a BAD time with it being in that position. That was the only issue we noticed. Enjoyed the stay other than that.

Our original room was way too small. They allowed us to upgrade to a bigger room. The lady in the office was very nice. The cable tv was extremely limited. We were there during the MLB playoffs and I could not watch any game on the channels offered.

Room okay. Internet does not work

Very small rooms but very clean. The AC is an older window unit, built into the wall, that was either on or off and it ran all night so it was never quiet in the room. It's also not on the beach but there's a pool.

Amazing place! Perfect location, easy access. The air conditioning was a little noisy, but managable All in all we really enjoyed our stay!

A very quaint 1950s retro two story hotel. Window air conditioner ran off/on all night. Bathroom window does not lock so first floor window to road behind hotel. Very clean and very comfortable beds. Bedside table light does not work.

Overnight stay to visit Tybee island on way to HH. We knew room was small when we reserved it. Room was perfect for our stay. Clean& had conviences such as mini fridge which had a freezer section, microwave, Kurieg with pods provided. Bedding was comfortable . 5 minutes to beach & pool nice option. We had basic studio room which was suitable for our 1 night need . Would reserve double if stayed longer for a little more space. Would return again as it was a value for cleanliness & amenities provided.

The air ran almost all night , light bulb out in bath room , the toilet facing the shower was the worst there was a step for the shower that was directly in front of the toilet which made it difficult just to use the toilet unless you sit sideways !

I booked a room for 2 people. It was SUPER small and the bathroom was even smaller. The sink was the size of a cereal bowl (which just splashed water everywhere when washing your hands or brushing your teeth) and the toilet was so close to the shower, you had to put your feet in the shower when sitting on the toilet. The lights flickered and one in the bathroom didn’t even turn on. The air conditioner was so loud that it kept us up all night turning off and on every hour. The walls are super thin that you could hear everything outside and there was a slice in the door which let in light (and who knows what else) from outside. There was not a rug in the entrance so dirt/sand was easily tracked in. Parking was a HUGE issue as there were no available spots when we came back for the night. I felt that there were more rooms than parking spots. We had to park in front of a tree which wasn’t even a parking spot. The room smelled like cigarettes and felt dingy. The only plus was that it was within a mile or two of the boardwalk and shops near the beach! The pictures were so deceiving! For the price, I was very disappointed.

Clean room. No fuss check-in/check-out. Very attentive staff! 100% will return!

Cynthia at the front desk is the best thing about this great little hotel

My experience was great. I went to relax and enjoy the sun and sea without crowds. It was quiet and peaceful at the Royal Palms. The office ladies were very helpful and friendly. I was there five nights and could have used a refresh of the bathroom half way through. Otherwise everything met my expectations. I hope to return.

Super cute motel with a great vibe!! Front desk ladies were both so helpful with recommendations for food in area. 5 minute walk to beach and 10 minutes to the local market

The room was remodeled and retro chic. Beds and pillow’s comfortable. Becky in the front office was amazing! Only problem was I should’ve booked 2 nights instead of just one.

Convenient location to both parts of the island. Hotel is nice and clean, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay there.

Awesome place for the price , clean and quirky, convenient to a Baptist church for Sunday services. I was on the Island to officiate a wedding and the staff was so nice allowing an early check in to get dressed. Communication was great. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Friendly staff, easy check in, comfortable bed, great location. Total old school win in TYBEE ISLAND.

Pretty nice small hotel. People on reception are very friendly and helpful!:)

Great pace to stay Close to the beach and not far from amenities

Clean, friendly helpful staff, so convenient to IGA, Beach 5 min walk. Plenty of restaurants and shops. Great pool area. Rooms were so cool in this crazy heat! My family had an amazing time. We will be staying again!

This is a nice place to stay in a very convenient location.

Very nice place next to the beach

Clean place. Small room . Ok for 2 people. Big shower area. Near the beech. I love it. Nice breakfast place in walking distance. Very quiet area with small town feel. Perfect place for a weekend het away...less crowded.

Amazing Location, close to beach and stores and very comfortable beds! Very clean and very nice sweet receptionist too. Will definitely be back! Our girls trip went great here.
