Comfortable bed, hot shower and good size room. It is further away from the main shops and the pier but we enjoyed the walk and the quiet area near it. The front courtyard wasn't relaxing though since you can hear the water pipes and anyone walking by. Overall we would recommend this place.

The first room they gave to us was really dirty (the German cockroach dying on the bedroom floor wasn't a great sign, and the second one only marginally better, and a number of the lights in the room didn't work, it seemed like they weren't expecting off-season guests!

Lil the quiet tucked away garden room. Quaint. Secure. My 9 year old granddaughter’s had only stayed in regular hotel rooms. This was the different experience I wanted for them

Staff was friendly but beyond that I would never recommend this place. We checked out. Dirtiest conditions I’ve ever seen. Stained sheets, layers of dust, dirty floors and dirty toilet.

I feel very mixed about our stay at the DeSoto Beach Gardens. We were in one of the suites for 5 nights, and it seemed to be fairly newly renovated. There were a lot of great things about this property: a nice sized kitchen and bathroom, easy access to the pool and beach, in-suite laundry, very polite and responsive staff, easy parking. There was a continental breakfast offered, but after trying it once we opted to make our own breakfast in our suite (the coffee was quite good though). Unfortunately, our chief issue was the cleanliness. Immediately upon arrival we could smell a very strong mold odor which I suspect is from the carpeting. We contacted the staff and they quickly came to wash the carpets. However, there aren't any windows that open in the suite, and it wasn't long before the smell returned because the lack of ventilation. I think they just need to pull up the carpets and replace them with tile. As well, the kitchen and bathroom seemed like they had only been quickly wiped, and a deep clean had not been performed for quite some time. But cleaning supplies had been left under the counter, so once I gave them a good scrub myself, it was much better. Finally, the couch that our children slept on was filthy and needs to be replaced or at least steam-cleaned. I feel bad giving not such a great review, but I do feel that we would have felt a lot more comfortable during our visit if just a bit more focus were given to the cleanliness.

Dirty room, mouse droppings, dead mouse My family (wife, 6 and 9yo girls) checked into the North Garden suite room for a 3 night stay. On arrival there was a strong odor, floors were dirty, hairs everywhere. We opened windows and did some of our own cleaning to make it work. Later that evening, we pulled out the sofa bed for the kids and found mouse droppings. Then we found a dead mouse in a sticky trap under the sofa bed. We alerted the receptionist who had us check the other suite rooms. The South suite had mouse droppings and insect wings in the sofa bed. The East suite appeared cleaner but had a strong odor. We moved our stuff / kids into a standard room in the beach hotel next door where we stayed for 3 nights. We might have moved hotels, but we had family also staying there. The first night charge was waived "for our trouble", however, we had pre-paid Suite rates but now staying in a cheaper Standard room. When I asked for an adjustment on check out (11/24), a different receptionist wasn’t interested in helping. She said a manager would call "to explain it to me"- but I wasn't contacted. I sent an email with no response. In the end, because we ended up in a cheaper room, there was little compensation "for our trouble". We understand that all hotels have occasional issues but these seem to have become *regular* issues for DeSoto. The standard room was better, not great. I'd recommend against the Garden Suites.

We enjoyed our stay. The condo was real nice, some mold in shower they just need to clean better. It was on the beach and lots of dining options close by and a few shops. The parking is not great, we had a truck and do not recommend bringing a full size car very hard to park it.

This place is on the beach with access to a neighboring pool. There is no smart TV, so any streaming for a movie must be done on personal electronic devices. The grounds need some landscaping clean up and signage would be helpful to find the paths/access to the beach or pool. The breakfast was good and had several options.

It’s been a while since I have experienced such a poor guest service and cleanliness during vacation. Hotel advertises as only beach front hotel in Tybee island. Which is not true . Plus we got a room facing busiest road in whole island . Carpets had stains , dish washer was filled with dirty dishes . Bathroom sink was clogged up in first night , there were potato chips in fold out bed in living room when we opened it up . No pillows or blankets for the kids . We booked the room for 4. On the first day of stay room service came and left extra towels and roll of toilet tissue on the kitchen counter. That was it. Did not come back the rest of the 5 day stay . We had to wash our own towels , take trash out and clean bathroom. It was just far from what I have experienced during any stay in a while . Not to mention customer service, upon check in I stood there for 15 minutes without being acknowledged with desk clerk talking to coworkers, clearly seeing me there standing waiting. Upon check out, different clerk was sitting down on her phone eating breakfast at one of the breakfast tables and just told me to lay the key down on the counter.

DeSoto was a great place for us. We spent the last 2 days walking the beach early in the morning and late into the night. We loved the view and location and would love to stay here again.

The room was not as expected in the picture when booked. It was much much smaller and just looked different. The couch and chairs had several stains, the carpet in the bedroom felt and smelled like it hasn’t ever been cleaned, I found several long hairs on the floor that were not mine. I had previously spoke to someone about early check in, however when we arrived 30 minutes before check in time at 4pm, the room was not ready, which was very inconvenient considering I had groceries in the car and I was under the impression I would be able to check in early. The young at the front did not tell me cleaning procedures for the suite and I would have been charged had I not asked someone else before check out. There is a sign that says heated pool, but the pool was absolutely freezing. The breakfast is ok, but the breakfast area is so small and all the guests are on top of eachother. I think I’ll just get a vacation rental next time. This wasn’t worth the $ I paid for 3 days.
