The Spotlight on Royal Palms Motel

Beachside Vibes with Easy Access to Savannah Sounds

Located just a 2-minute walk from the sandy shores of Tybee Island Beach, the Royal Palms Motel is a relaxed, budget-friendly spot with a classic coastal vibe. Featuring a retro-style exterior and a welcoming, no-frills atmosphere, this 2-star motel offers everything you need for a chill concert weekend—free WiFi, free private parking, and a refreshing outdoor pool to unwind in after a night of live music.
Rooms are simple but comfortable, with air conditioning, private bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and even coffee machines for your late-night wind-down or early-morning recovery. Family rooms and pool-view options add a little extra comfort for groups or couples.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the motel's peaceful location away from the downtown buzz, while still being within driving distance (just 14–15 miles) of music hotspots in Savannah. After a loud night, the quiet beachside setting is perfect for some post-show decompression. Free parking makes it easy to come and go, and while there’s no on-site shuttle, rideshare options to Savannah are readily available.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a casual, affordable place to crash near the beach
  • Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting a quiet, safe spot
  • Couples turning a show into a weekend beach getaway
  • Fans needing a peaceful recovery space after the amps go quiet
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who’d rather spend on tickets than luxury lodging

Food and Drink Options

While the Royal Palms Motel doesn’t have its own restaurant, you’re just a short walk or bike ride from plenty of local eateries, many of which stay open late—perfect for a post-gig bite. Morning-after breakfast spots are plentiful nearby, and with an in-room coffee maker, you can start the day at your own pace.

Nightlife Options

While the motel itself keeps things quiet, Tybee Island offers several laid-back bars and beachside hangouts within walking distance. For a bigger night out, head to Savannah’s live music bars and clubs—just a short drive or rideshare away.

What People Say

Guests love the motel’s prime location just steps from the beach, the clean and comfortable rooms, and the friendly, helpful staff. The motel is often praised for its charming retro vibe and unbeatable value compared to downtown hotels.

Areas for Improvement

If you're looking for luxury or on-site dining, this might not be your spot. Some guests mention that the decor is a bit dated, but most agree it adds to the motel’s vintage charm. No elevators or bell service, so pack light if you’re heading upstairs.

The Bottom Line

For music fans looking for a low-key, affordable stay near Savannah with the bonus of beach access, the Royal Palms Motel hits all the right notes.

Crazy service

Liked: It's an older building, ya get what ya get. Everything was great. Even trivial things would be offset with the level of customer service received here. Pool was nice, place felt safe, beds were soft. Bathroom small, but who cares. There wasn't a single thing that was requested that wasn't received. Down to a hair tie request being fulfilled. Definitely would stay again.It pains me to leave this review m, may make it harder for me to find a room...
Disliked: Small things that were in the grand scheme negligible considering the service provided. Old building issues

Clean and affordable, not exactly...

Liked: Staff had great communication. Price was decent. Rooms were clean. Pool was comfortable.
Disliked: This was advertised as a 2 bedroom family suite with a sleeper sofa. It had the sofa as advertised and 2 beds. But when I hear the phrase 2 bedroom family suite, I suppose I was expecting 2 bedrooms and then a common area with a sofa bed. Well one of the beds was in the same room as the sofa bed. Got a little cramped and there was only a window unit in the secluded bedroom and only a fan to cool off those in the room with the sleeper sofa. So it was a little toasty and I’m very hot natured.

The place was probably one...

Liked: It was very clean. The staff was very quick in responding and even got us in before checking when we arrived early. We would definitely book this place again when we return to Tybee.
Disliked: It wasn’t really the properties fault but cops were called on next door for fighting and breaking windows.

Nice stay. We have stayed...

Liked: Location. Also the people in the office were fabulous and gave us everything we needed.
Disliked: The floors were dirty. My feet were black. I got a rag from housecleaning and wiped the floor with it but it wasn’t enough. It needed a swiffer. We did ask for a broom also just so we could sweep up the sand that we brought in, but the floors needed cleaning badly. The rest of the room was spotless.

We have stayed 3 times...

Liked: It was an inexpensive stay in a clean comfortable room without out all the fluff but everything needed to be comfortable. I also love that they have left some old the old features in the rooms and added the retro fridge and accessories. All in all was a great and comfortable two day getaway without breaking without breaking the bank. Will be back.
Disliked: Pool water was hazy.
