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.

• Solo travelers catching a dream concert and wanting a quiet, safe spot
• Couples turning a show into a weekend beach getaway
