Very well worth a stay

The Hotel was very nice our room was very big, huge shower on the second floor but there’s an elevator for easy access. Breakfast was free and very good. The beds are comfortable and so are the pillows. It’s also not far from Savannah so there are a lot of things to do and a lot of close food options.
