Atlantis Inn

Horrible. Left a day early mainly because of the «take it or leave it» attitude of the front desk workers. There is enough parking for their golf cart and huge truck, but not enough for paying or over paying guest. We were harassed from the time we checked in about showing up in two different vehicles. They claim this was disclosed on their web site but after triple checking I beg to differ. The first night while trying to enjoy a nice dinner we got a call telling me to move my jeep into a huge mud puddle because it wouldn’t hurt it. The next day my wife and I were both harassed about moving a vehicle off the property to a pay to park lot. Also, the Wi Fi thru out is a lie. No service at all in our suite, if you can call it that. That brings me to the room. Musty smell, dingy towels, bedroom was 20 degrees hotter than sitting area due to undersized window unit, dust on headboard, cob webs on ceiling fan, towel rack ripped off wall in bathroom and not replaced. Buyer beware!

My husband and I are staying at Atlantis inn for our anniversary. when we showed up the guy at the desk told us we were getting $ 50 off because they were about to start to paint our room, I was confused by this. When I walked into the room it was horrible! The carpet has stains all over it there is food all over the ceiling, the shower curtain has what looks like blood on it, and there are headboards and other supplies in the closet. The worst part is the room reeks of cigarette smoke, this is supposed to be a non smoking room. I have looked for other hotels on the island but there are none available. I am so mad! I have never seen a room in this condition. The room is so small!!! I will never stay at Atlantis inn again!!!

Horrible… stay away. That is unless you are looking for a Motel with no frills and way over priced. Less than ½ a star

This was our first visit to Tybee and we are so glad we found Atlantis Inn. No frills, but who needs frills when there’s a beach a quick stroll away?! Affordable, cute, friendly staff, clean rooms… Will definitely visit again.

Hotel is old so don’t expect much. The room was a great romantic getaway – plenty of space for two, quaint lighting, and elegant bedding. We stayed in Poseidon’s Palace which is kind of the their presidential suite so don’t think all of the rooms are large because they’re not. We looked at some of the other rooms and they were much smaller.
No elevators so you must climb stairs.
Even though we were without the kids for this trip, the hotel itself didn’t seem kid friendly — close to the road and multiple stairs.
There is free Wi-​Fi but it was very weak and we very rarely were able to gain access.
The location is also great. It was a quick walk to the beach, the shops, and the restaurants.

First of all this is Tybee Beach which is special and hasn’t changed over the years and that is a good thing. It is much the same as it was when we came here when I was a child. This is a big wide clean beach with a wonderful warm ocean to swim in. The hotels are the kind that were around in the 1950’s and there are a lot of beach cottages. Read some of Mary Kay Andrews books about Tybee and you will get a good idea about what it is like here. She owns a cottage at Tybee as well.
This cute hotel, Atlantis Inn, is an Inn from the 1950’s. It has been preserved well and treated with love. My parents had a room on the first floor and my daughter and I had the one room on the third floor called the «Crows Nest». Both rooms ran about $ 175 a night which was a good deal since it was July. There was a junior refrigerator, micro wave, and double sink with nice counter tops and cabinets in both rooms. There was no oven or stove and no dishes or flatware. We ate out at night, ate breakfast in the lobby and made sandwiches for lunch so this set up was great for us. The beach is only about 2 blocks from the beach and the fishing pier. It is located close to any store you want and restaurants are all within walking distance. We only moved our car twice and had no problem parking. The hotel has it’s own parking and there were always spaces. The room on the top floor was lovely and relatively new. It is called the Crow’s Nest and is big and spacious. This is where I will stay again on my next visit. It was very clean and there is a full size kitchen table with four chairs, large sofa and coffee table. There is a huge walk-​in closet and a nice enclosed porch with wicker furniture and provided a nice place for kids to have a place separate from the parents. There are lots of ceiling fans and air conditioning, too. We had a little dog and he was welcomed. There is no elevator so you take your luggage upstairs yourself but I’m sure if you asked for help any of the staff would help you. The staff are all very nice and help in any way they can. We loved our stay here and I hope you enjoy it as well!

I just returned from Tybee Island and I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know. I stayed in the Rainforest Room and it was amazing. The in-​room jacuzzi and bamboo walls really made for a fun stay. Every staff member I spoke to was friendly and accommodating.
The Atlantis Inn is also super close to the beach, the pier, shops and bars (yay!). The rates are affordable too. I will definitely be back to try out some of the other themed rooms.

So let me start with the whole trip. My husband and 2 friends decided about 2AM on a Friday night that they wanted to take a fly by the seat of our pants overnight trip to tybee. So the next afternoon we pile into the car, and «on the road again» Tybee here we come. Between Unilocal and trip adviser i perused the reviews and after making a phone call to the Atlantis, we explained the situation to the owner/​manager, and he gave us a heck of a deal! It was around $ 60 bucks for the night, no CC required, he left us the keys for when we rolled in late. It really gave me the old school feeling where people actually trust people and don’t make you jump through hoops to get where your going.
We get the keys, and locate the room. Cons– It was small
Pros: Cute decorations, clean. close to the beach so the smaller room was OK.
the view was of the back of what looked like an apartment?
Our room had 2 full/​queen beds, a dresser, a nightstand a mini fridge and about 5 steps in between :) but again. you are here for the beach. so why are you in the room for anything more then sleeping and showering.
The hotel is about 6 blocks from the beach access, walking distance to plenty of food and some night life — even in off season–
All in all we had a good time, tiny room and all. it was clean, the people were great, super friendly and trusting– SO DON’T ABUSE THAT! :) Thank you Atlantis Inn for helping us have a great overnight trip on a tight budget! We will keep you on the books for future last min get aways!

We stayed at the Atlantis Inn for a birthday weekend, in the Endless Summer room. The building is an old-​fashioned motel… kind of kitschy and vintage. The room themes go all-​out and are fun in a bizarre way. Everything was clean and the bed was super comfy. The pillows were nice and there was a 4 inch memory foam topper on the king-​sized bed. The linens were high thread count and we were VERY comfortable.
The staff was wonderfully nice. The staff went out of their way to decorate the room with a birthday banner, balloons, cake, and champagne. We met the owners and Mel made breakfast for us himself! The breakfast was beyond all imagining – I’ve been to buffets that had fewer options. Scrambled eggs, biscuits, gravy, bacon, sausage, fruit, yogurt… It really went on and on.
I’m honestly shocked by the other poor reviews. Some people just don’t understand a boutique hotel. They really should go to a chain. I do think the price is a bit high, but I think times are tough for small business owners and I get that they have to charge more than the Holiday Inn. It wasn’t dirty, just old.

Atlantis is nowhere near as bad as the other reviews suggest; we very much enjoyed our stay here during our honeymoon in late October. It wasn’t the fanciest place we slept in, and perhaps it was a bit steep for the price. But it’s clean, spacious, cute in a cheesy way, and most importantly, a block from the beach.
Each of the rooms has a theme, probably including dolphins somehow. The theme dictates the wallpaper and décor of the bedroom and hot tub room, and they usually end up looking like a more aquatic cousin of the airbrushed-​T-​shirt shops that litter the main drag of Tybee, which is conveniently close by.
The bed and couch were quite comfy. The hot tub was a little meh, but fun all the same. Staff was helpful and hospitable. The setting of the hotel is lovely — there was a great garden right outside our window. Parking was not a problem for us, but this was in late October.
This is not the best place ever — more like a 3.5 than 4 stars. But I’m rounding up because we had a good time and the other reviews are REAL harsh.

If there was a lower score it wound be that!!! The pros first. Walking distance to the beach, beach bars. Now the bad… Well, we decided to try it and it was a disaster! Dirty, and not safe. We paid $ 170 off season thinking we were staying somewhere nice. They let us change rooms because we weren’t happy with our first room. We kindly asked to leave early and were told if the room didn’t fill that there was no way to get our money back which sucks because they make you prepay. I was even told by the cab driver that he wouldn’t stay here. My recommendation would be to stay in savannah and drive into the beach.

First the pluses…
Staff: The staff here are excellent. Very friendly and helpful!
Location: Very close to the beach, definitely walking distance which makes it great for a beach stay.
And now the bad…
Parking: Due to the location the parking is an absolute crapshoot. They don’t have any specific parking for their guests and you can be stuck trying to find a place to park if you decide to leave for any reason.
The rooms: Oh god the rooms. The rooms are all themed… which is fine and while they aren’t dirty, they certainly aren’t clean. The bed was uncomfortable, the furniture was run down, all in all it’s a pretty bad place to stay if you’re looking for a nice room.
The Value: Oh god the value is terrible. The prices are insane per night considering that you have to fight for parking, use a run down shower, and feel weird walking barefoot in your own room.
Overall, not a bad place if you and some friends are splitting a room and want to only do the beach. But if it’s just you and your SO… well lets put it this way. After only one of our two nights my wife wanted us to go home… and we did.
