Very good

We had time for a quick trip to Tybee, and the Desoto Beach Hotel was perfect! We could see the ocean from our balcony, had a short walk to the beach, and appreciated the breakfast.
The whole team at Desoto are kind, warm and welcoming

Very nice staff. Check In was very easy. Room was dirty, we did make the staff aware and they gave us an additional cleaning. Still not real clean. Bathrooms are very small. Beds are clean and comfortable. Breakfast consisted of danish, cereal, bagels and cranberry juice that tasted like colored water. Hotel location is great being that it is right on the beach.
I liked the fact that we were right on the beach. Room was nice and clean. Definitely worth the cost of the hotel. I would stay here again if ever in the area.
Property is old. We upgraded to a beachfront room and it wasn’t aired out, which is not their fault. We walked to Sundae Cafe and it was sooo good. The walkway to the beach over the dunes was well maintained, spacious, and private. We had a great time even though jellyfish were stinging people in the area.

Everything was very old. The door to our room even had light coming through to the outdoor hallway. This is a MOTEL, not a Hotel. The toilet was like a toddler toilet, extremely low. Overall, it was clean but the whole area (Tybee Beach) was run down and not updated. I won't go back to this area even if we stayed somewhere else. People and staff were nice.
It's more of a motel, totally not worth 400/ night. The beach is great, everything else is not

We enjoyed our stay at The Desoto. It was very quiet, our room was delightfully clean, and we actually liked that the hotel wasn't like so many other more modern hotels. I would suggest some improvement in the breakfast offerings.

While the locations is great for the beach the Hotel itself is just average and not worth the room rates that are charged.
Best part of this hotel is actually being on the beach. No crossing roads or having to move cars. Just walk down to the dune crossing bridge and you are there. They will set up umbrellas and chairs, so no need to carry all that.
