Customer service was Great. Room was very clean. The only thing that I could say is that~ the rooms Are way over priced. I've stayed n nicer hotels on the beach that was not as expensive as the Desoto. I did enjoy my stay there, but next time I think I may check out the Ocean Plaza hotel.

We enjoyed the stay very much. The view of the beach was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Lots of good places to eat nearby. Also very comfortable Latex mattresses by Symbol Mattress Co.

The good: this hotel is right on the beach and there is some covered parking. The room had a safe, microwave, tv, mini fridge and coffee maker. The room was clean and the staff was pleasant and helpful The not so good: the bed was so uncomfortable that I think it was the worst night sleep I have had in... More

We had a great time at Desoto Beach Hotel April 2012. It was clean and the staff was friendly. We got a great price on our room, plus a military discount. Loved the pool and the game room. The beach was a short walk and there were some nice tables with umbrellas outside to sit at by the beach. Our... More

I recently took a road trip from NJ to GA and stayed in many hotels/motels along my route. By far the nicest place I stayed in was the DeSoto Beach Hotel on Tybee Island. My room was clean, tastefully decorated, had everything I needed, a refrigerator, coffee, microwave, a balcony and view of the ocean. The staff was friendly and... More

My family and I traveled with some friends and stayed at Desoto Beach Hotel for Spring Break during the first week of April-we had such a great time! The weather was perfect and we couldn’t have picked a better hotel with a better location. I have a small daughter and wanted to keep her away from all of the bars... More

My first experience of the hotel was the warm and friendly greeting I received form the knowledgeable front desk staff, they were very helpful, pleasant to work with and had all the right answers. The rooms are clean, well kept, well organized and inviting. Our stay was in one of the fantastic ocean view rooms... totally mesmerizing. The atmosphere was... More

Awful..awful..experience. Housekeeping Manager named Marci embarrassed us so badly in a lobby with several customers speaking loudly about an issue we were being accused of but did not do. We even asked her to bring her voice down but she did not. You could even tell the other employees were embarrassed by the way she was speaking to us. I... More

Yes, we do remember this specific incident with this guest, from last October. What they had done was urinate in the bed two nights in a row causing us to have to steam-clean the mattress two consecutive days. It is unfortunate that the guest was embarrassed when we showed her the urine soaked sheets, but we had no choice after... More

Had a terrible experience here. First of all the staff is not friendly. THe arcade or game room consists of a pool table and 4 broken arcade games that have out of order taped over all of them. It is overpriced for what you get. The only thing they have going is that they are on the beach. After checking... More

This review has no merit whatsoever. After Mrs. B checked out Housekeeping discovered spots of blood all over the room. Apparently her small grandchild had cut his finger and had finger-painted blood spots all over the room. There were numerous spots of blood all over the sheets, pillow, pillowcase, bedspread, walls, the nightstand, dresser, room door, connecting door, drape, and... More

STAY AWAY FROM THIS MOTEL. They charge Arm and Length for a third grade Motel. We were on the road and without much researching their Hotel, we called them to reserve a room. The lady named Ayesha was telling us that they have just one room with Ocean view and going in for $199 + taxes. Since we wanted to... More

This review is based on a complete falsehood. Mr. H made a reservation at our hotel on Mar 31st at 6:53pm for April 1st for one night. When he made the reservation he was told that we have a 72 hour cancellation policy and that once he made the reservation, since it was for the very next night, he would... More
