Pros:

Front desk staff was great

Cons:

Valet staff was awful. They lost keys and had a huge group of families waiting for their cars at check out. Took us over an hour to locate our car and get out of the hotel because the keys weren’t properly labeled from valet check in the day prior. Horrible experience

Nice clean hotel with very friend staff and comfortable rooms.
Pros:

The staff was excellent, and the hotel was nice and clean. It was in a great location. This hotel really puts clients first, with a nice bar, a rooftop pool, and a sitting area with a great view of the Savannah River.

Cons:

Breakfast wasn't that good. We got there pretty early one morning, and they were already out of the majority of the food. They should really have more breakfast staff. We didn't like the fact that room service was only every other day. One of the main benefits of staying in a hotel vs Airbnb is the daily room service.

Great stay in Savannah's historic district!
Pros:

The location of the hotel in the historic district was great. So easy to get around and only one street away from River Street. The hotel itself was very nice. Wanda and the other staff upon check in were awesome and very helpful allowing us to store our bags until the room was ready. We paid extra for valet but it was well worth it.

Cons:

The ice machine on our floor was broken and it seemed like our refrigerator either wasn't very cold or wasn't working. Otherwise we had a great stay.
