Didn't exceed expectations, but overall wasn't a bad hotel.
Pros:

The walk to the beach was easy to do, even though the main walkway immediately from the hotel was closed off. It was easy to get around to go to the beach entrance. The hotel was within walking distance of most things within Tybee Island, such as The Deck restaurant.

Cons:

The cleanliness of the room was mostly clean, but several hairs were around the sink, shower, and toilet. Hair that was very clearly not mine. There was no bathmat to walk on after your shower had completed, so I had to use one of the towels. On the booking, it showed a perfect view of the beach, and I planned around being able to see the beach when I wake up in the morning. That is one of the reasons I paid such a price for the beachfront hotel. Come to find out, the rooms I was given was not a beachfront room. The parking spots were difficult to get out of, sometimes requiring a 6 point turn to get out. I stated in my preference I would like a quiet room. I was not able to get that preference met. I heard several conversations with people in rooms next to me on the phone where they were swearing, threatening to kill someone over the phone, etc. all through the walls of my bedroom.

Pros:

The beach view

Cons:

The carpet smelled and the the tub had rust stains. This unit needs a update or a deep deep cleaning. For the price at 500.00 a night it should be spotless and odorless!!

Not good.
Pros:

Location was ok

Cons:

Staff was not accommodating. I booked an ocean front room and was put in a partial ocean view mist likely because I did not book direct.
The room was not kept up. Ceiling was stained and falling apart.

Would go back but definitely would have to be a lot cheaper for just one night.$400 for it not to be perfectly a little
Pros:

Super convenient location. Friendly staff and it was comfy

Cons:

Couldn’t use the bridge on property, didn’t seem very well clean especially for the price of just one night. The pull out couch was moldy and had dried blood on it as well as one of the couch cushions so we ended up not even using it

Pros:

The bed was comfortable and the A/C worked well

Cons:

The false advertising about them providing free beach chairs and umbrellas daily.A note was attached to my room key said they no longer did this.There was no reason given and when I asked why to the morning staff they were not helpful or sympathetic.
Additionally they advertise themselves as the only " beachfront hotel on Tybee Island".
Actually the hotel has an extensive length and depth of sand dunes between it and the hotel which means our " beach view" room was about a thousand feet from the actual ocean and our narrow limited view was only of the dunes with the ocean on the horizon with no beach of the beach itself.
For these reasons I felt that the room ( which was very small compared to most king rooms) was overpriced by at least $100/ night
