Plastic bags with dirty diapers float up out of the sea onto the beach. The swimming pool - in a parking lot - had a scum ring, like a dirty bathtub. The picture on their website conceals a road, a parking lot and a public toilet between the hotel and the beach. Disgusting!

Tybee Island isn’t all bad. There are long stretches where it’s pristine.

This place is soooooo bad. I paid $299.00 a night and it was aweful. The keg party happening 2 floors above my car was throwing cigarettes on my car. I now have small burns on the hood of my car. Management has nothing to say about it. This place is a HUGE toilet!

Although Tybee itself is a nice little island with the charm of Savannah close by, I have to agree with you about the hotel. It’s an old hotel that they recently remodeled. I know it’s hard to imagine how much worse it could have been before the remodeling with it in such poor shape today. I’ve never seen the beach itself in the way you describe. There are also some other chain hotels on the island and some great local restaurants, so don’t let the comments about Ocean Plaza put you off about Tybee.

Savannah as a whole is a place to skip. Fine Living, a network that is part of Scripps (HGTV, Food) says it’s aweful too. I’ve lived there and should know. Crime is higher per capita than Atlanta. Racial tensions are high as the blue bloods can’t pull their heads out of their butts. Public schools are atrocious. And there are gnats year round that prevent you from doing anything outdoors. The humidity is that of a swamp, as is the smell. The paper plant may be tolerable on days when the wind blows in a favorable direction, but the swamp gas still permeates the brain. Skip Savannah unless it’s to get wasted downtown for two nights max, without kids.
