Description: The only thing old about this place is the name, which once served one of Tybee’s oldest hotels. Completely renovated in 2010, this is a delightful place to stay with freshly painted rooms, upgraded linens and furniture, and rooms that range from two bedrooms with queen-size beds, oversized balconies, and kitchenettes (Hernando DeSoto Suite) to deluxe rooms with two queen-size beds. The old is gone, but on this narrow sliver of land between condo developments, careful design has led to 37 rooms, most of which are technically ocean view and a few of which have a magnificent view. The hotel is on the ocean side of Butler, and it is one of the first motels or hotels you will encounter when driving onto the island. There’s an oceanfront pool and a game room that’s partially open to the elements. Rates in season range from $130 to $210.
