Excellent views, service and location!

Everything about this stay was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. The front staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and ended up upgrading us to an executive suite when they found out our room wasn't available. The suite had an absolutely incredible view. My only complaint was that the balcony was locked down. I would've definitely loved to enjoy my morning coffee out there but I'm sure there's a reason they are locked. Close to fantastic restaurants and walkable to the local parks and riverfront shops. I'll definitely be staying here again the next time I visit Savannah!

We assumed our room would be cleaned. Met staff in hallway who spoke little English but communicated our need for towels and coffee for the next morning. This was mid-afternoon. Came back after dinner and found our beds made. Odd to only have one wastebasket in bathroom. None in living area. Missed having a fridge; used a lot of ice to keep leftovers cool. Beds were comfortable; room clean. I’ve stayed here before and wanted my friend to experience the hotel and area.

I was impressed by how pretty the main floor was. Check-in was smooth. Good bed. The room was shabby. Chipped/peeling paint in the room, the laminate floors were cracked and peeling up. There was a splatter stain on the floor next to my bed. The bottoms of the doors looked like animals had been chewing on them. Just a lot of details that could be easily fixed, but have not been taken care of, which gave an overall worn out and low end look to the room. In the bathroom, the only trashcan in the room was tiny and covered in rust. The fan over the shower was disgusting, full of dirt and the tub did not drain so when showering there was water to my ankles. The outside of the tub was discolored. The hairdryer was so old, super scratched up, and I knew immediately it was going to break while I was using it. I have long hair and although I took breaks the outlet stopped working, and the reset button would not work. This is likely due to the fact that the dryer was filthy, full of lint which led to overheating. I don’t understand why the hotel would not keep up with minor maintenance that would make a big difference. I did not feel safe in dimly lit hallways as I was solo. The elevators are slow and stopped working one day so guests had to use the service elevator waiting next to a shelf of leftover food. Not what I expected.
