Under renovation, but still a beautiful atrium with plants, water fall and a delicious buffing and friendly staff
Pros:

Friendly staff. Beautiful older hotel with gorgeous atrium filled with a variety of plants and channels of water and even a waterfall! Well stocked breakfast buffet and very nice made to order omelettes included! The Top 2 floors are being renovated. We had a lovely day even though it's Under construction.

Awesome for convensions!
Pros:

We were there for the Fraternal Order of Eagles 7-State Convention. This is the 3rd year we have attended. Each time it has been a good experience. The Staff was very nice and helpful. Rooms were clean and nice. The conference room was excellent along with the meeting room. The number one thing I like it you never have to go outside. There is a indoor walk way from the motel to the Convention center. Thank you for hosting our event! We have already booked out next 3 years convention here.

Wait for renovation to complete.
Pros:

Staff was very friendly! Rooms are being renovated so I’m sure it will be better after. The room smelled awful and wasn’t very clean.

Very Accommodating Staff
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and the room was clean. Room attendants were quick when we needed them. The rating would be way less if Savannah didn’t save the weekend. We brought our son for his birthday to swim in the indoor pool. We woke up to the pool being closed because the door wouldn’t unlock. She literally called around to surrounding hotels to see if we could use their pools and even went further to call us once they were able to unlock the door. She went above and beyond. Great stay
