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.

My husband and I went for an overnight stay and it was ok but I would never go back as the shower really didn’t look that clean and for a renovation I thought it should have been cleaner I thought . The pet cost seemed higher than I have paid for my dog in the past . Because we travel with our dog often I wouldn’t stay at that hotel again

The room was not cleaned with no hot water in the bathroom and a broken, defaced draw. The ac unit cover was laying on the ground The complimentary breakfast is a total joke. The food was the frozen kind reheated and if you value your life should be avoided Worst hotel experience ever

Great value for your money. The room was clean and comfortable. Good breakfast in the morning and the staff was very friendly and caring. I liked the walk in shower, but the door was not working properly and could not be opened and closed without extreme effort.

This was a nice decent and semi clean hotel and newly renovated are updated. Basically, my only complaint was I had a king suite with a jet tub and the tub the jet could definitely could’ve been more clean as well as the walk-in shower and the linens was visibly dirty other than that the room Was clean and the mattress was clean. That was a big plus no stains on the mattress. The breakfast was OK and the noise level was a bit much. Sounds like somebody was constantly moving furniture and can definitely hear footsteps of people running back-and-forth and walking hard on the floors.
