Multiple reviewers explicitly noted rooms were clean, neat and well-maintained; housekeeping appears reliable.
Service
8.7
Staff is generally described as friendly and accommodating (helped with room change, easy check-in/out), though one report indicates rude/unaccommodating behavior.
Location
9.3
Consistently praised for being right off I-95 with convenient access to gas, restaurants and easy highway travel.
Room Quality
7.6
Beds and showers are praised (comfortable, hot shower) but rooms are described as small with limited seating and some TV/streaming issues.
Amenities
7.5
Breakfast is available and acceptable to some, but inconsistent choices noted; no in-room coffee/microwave, vending issues (freezer-burnt items) and EV charging was poorly advertised.
Value for Money
7.3
Generally fine for short stays, but pet fee ($75) and some amenity limitations make perceived value lower for longer stays or pet owners.

Breakfast received mixed but mostly positive comments ('just right' or 'good'); however coffee logistics (no in-room maker) and limited breakfast options were mentioned.
Overall Experience
8.8
Good option for overnight/I-95 travelers: convenient location, clean rooms and friendly staff create a pleasant short-stay experience despite small rooms and some amenity shortcomings.

Good for overnight stay
Pros:

The location was great, right off interstate 95 and accessible to gas stations.
The staff were all very nice. Thry accommodated a request to change to a room closer to the front entrance, so we had less walking.
The room was clean and had a wonderful shower.
Nice large TV and comfortable bed.
Great water fountain by the ice machine, great for filling thermos.

Cons:

I felt the room was a bit small and there was only 1 chair to sit on outside the bed for 2 people.
The microwave and coffee were in the lobby and not in the room... not a problem. But be aware.
The ice cream products for sale in the lobby were freezer burnt.

Excellent option when traveling the I-95 corridor in the Savanah area.
Pros:

Location was very convenient to I-95 and the breakfast was just right with a good variety of options.

Cons:

The vehicle charging options in the back could have been better advertised. It was not listed as a feature in the Parking area of the listing. I also didn't notice anything at the front desk.

Nice Hotel
Pros:

This hotel is very nice, rooms are nice. The staff was friendly easy check in and check out.

Cons:

I did not like that I could not get the streaming feature to work on the TV even after calling the front desk the issue was not resolved. Also breakfast could’ve been better not many choices.

Hot shower, warm meal within walking distance, and a comfortable bed.
Pros:

It was comfortable and easy to access from I-95 in Savannah. There was a decent choice of places to eat across the street from the hotel.

Cons:

It needed a coffee maker in the room. I prefer not to get dressed to walk down to the lobby for coffee in the morning.
