vacation

The card door key would not work, nor would the neighbors key work. It took 5 attempts to rectify the problem. The WiFi in the room would not work. the business office to print out airline tickes was out of order. Everyone was very courteous and made you feel at home. The location of the hotel was perfect for exploring Savannah.

Dated, but clean, convenient, affordable

Pros: Pd $95 for one Saturday night, so very affordable. Very convenient location to city center. Nice to see the trend of WiFi without an extra charge. Cons: Website says they just completed a $6 million (US) renovation. Lobby is nice, but my hall and room were about 30 years dated, except for the newer TV.

False Fire Alarm

This hotel is average. The location is amazing! The breakfast was crowded and the dining area does not accomodate nearly half the guests so its a fight just trying to make your plate! During my stay the fire alarm when off at 7am, which thankfully ended up being a false alarm but NO ONE from the hotel's staff was manning the hallways or in the parking lot where guests were evauating to. I found this to be a very poor reflection on the hotel being that folks were racing out of the hotel in their pajammas with their valuables, babies and small children on the first cold morning in Savannah. The conclusion of the alarm, according to fire fighters and NOT the staff, was that the heaters burning off dust due to being the first time they had been cut on this season set off the fire/smoke alarm. This hotel needs an emergency evacuation plan like YESTERDAY!!!

Something to be desired

Not happy with some of the staff. Elevator extremely slow. Our "suite" had a crazy configuration especially with the bathroom.

Historic District on a budget

Great! It was easy walking around the historic district. We did not get in our car once. Yes, they have a free continental breakfast but we felt we were in Savannah so did not take advantage of it. We did take advantage of their fitness room. It was small but we both could get a workout including with some weights. We felt we got a good deal

Hotel Review

The hotel itself was beautiful and the staff were nice and accommodating, however, the room was very small and the bathroom was near closet size. Additionally, we had to call the front desk three times before someone finally arrived to handle an ant problem in our room. The problem was solved by hotel staff spraying Raid on the line and colony of ants that had accumulated by the time the arrived. We will find other accomodations on our next visit to the wonderful city of Savannah, GA.
