Clean and comfortable room once we were assigned to an unoccupied room. ( first room we were assigned already had people in it.) Hotel location is easy walking distance to all historical Savannah. Valet parking is $48/day and valet parks car in city park garage next to hotel. We parked ourselves in same city garage for half the price of valet parking.

The room we stayed in had a chair in it with visible stains on it and the carpet was old and dirty. The elevator button console was held on with massive amounts of duct tape. The staff were very friendly and courteous. Breakfast was pretty good.

Location is great..everything else was average..

We loved the location of the hotel, but the amenities could’ve been better. The complimentary breakfast was ok, but the coffee situation was poor. Only one of the machines was working and it took time to get a single cup of coffee. We opted to enjoy breakfast elsewhere. The folks at the concierge desk were very nice but some did not seem to know the area well at all. Rooms were not really cleaned im a timely manner. We would be gone all day and return to a room that hadn’t been serviced yet.

Nice place but front desk staff very rude

The location of the hotel was ideal for all of our activities - easily walkable to restaurants and the river district. The front desk staff leaves much to be desired. The two women who were there when we arrived seemed bothered by the fact that we asked to leave our luggage while we went to get lunch as we arrived early and our rooms weren’t ready yet. They actually even said that the storage room was too full. There were other issues, too many to get into, but suffice it to say it took us over a half hour to check in at 3:30 after not getting the promised phone call telling us that the room was ready (we first arrived at 11 am). We were honestly made to feel like we were a burden to these workers. The rest of the stay was ok but that first experience made our introduction to Savannah a negative experience. I have never experienced treatment like that before, and I have stayed in holiday inn expresses and Hotel Indigos in other cities several times before. I will definitely visit Savannah again but will definitely not stay here.

I loved this place the pool on the Deck was super duper in late April (couldn't drag my kid from the pool / hot tub). Perfect location to walk everywhere you want to go downtown. We woke up early and walked around the squares before anything was open then back in the pool. Bed was really nice and room looked wonderful. I would come here just to sit in the hotel and meander around very relaxing. Breakfast had everything including pancakes and tasted delicious. Staff was friendly. I found Street Parking right outside and used that and there is a Public lot across the street.

Close to the river, good location. This was always my "go to" hotel when visiting Savannah but I'm not sure if I'll be back It seems to be going downhill and not maintained as well as it used to be. The elevators are fallen apart with one panel hanging to the side by masking tape. The rooftop pool has a beautiful view but it wasn't cleared regularly, towels everywhere.

Excellent staff. All staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel was in the perfect location to walk to everything. Rooms were clean and spacious but the air did not cool well at all even after we informed the front desk, nothing was fixed. We were asked if we wanted to change rooms but we had already unpacked our suitcases. It wasn’t unbearable just not as cool as we like it.
