I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. While it was conveniently located near I-95, the cleanliness and condition of the rooms were quite concerning. The service was not attentive, and breakfast was severely lacking in quality and variety. Overall, the experience felt unsafe and unwelcoming, making it hard to recommend this place to others.

This hotel definitely needs some serious improvements. I was given what seemed like a suite, but it was dirty, and I found hair and a rose petal on the sheets. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed and our experience felt rushed. On the brighter side, the bed was comfy, and the shower had some good pressure. Just needs a lot more attention to cleanliness and customer service.

I had quite a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was decent and made getting to Savannah easy, but the service was lacking. My room was clean, which was a plus, but the breakfast options were very limited and not satisfying at all. Overall, while it provided a place to stay, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for a more comfortable experience.

Rooms

The room was clean and stylishly decorated, looking just like the pictures online. However, there were missing light bulbs in some fixtures, which was a bit of a drawback.

Service

I found the service to be a bit unorganized and not very welcoming, which detracted from the experience.

Location

The location is convenient, being near I-95 and only about 17-18 minutes from downtown Savannah, making it easy to access attractions.

Dining

The breakfast was a real letdown, consisting of minimal options that felt more like snacks than a meal.

Facilities

The overall facilities are okay but definitely need some attention, especially in terms of cleaning.
