The room was so humid nothing would dry. The sheets felt damp when you got into bed. The hotel looked cheap and rundown. Ice machines never had ice. A few staff were pleasant and others rude. Two females jumped a fence and came into pool area to swim in street clothes. They were friends of an employee and were waiting for friend to get off work. Several males were in room next door one night yelling and being very loud. Someone walked into our room. Unknown who it was. Can’t think of anything good to say.

2am shooting outside my door
There was fighting outside my 1st floor door. I called front desk 4 times and no one answered as it was 2am. The I heard gunshots. At this point I called police and they came to investigate. I informed front desk when they came in finally in the morning and they did’t seem to care. Needless to say we didn’t get much sleep. Will never come back to this hotel again.

The areas where occupants walk around the premises are not well kept, they are all dirty with debris from cigarette butts, paper droppings, cups and tops and leaves. Many areas have not been cleaned in many many weeks. The room was small for the price and the doors to closit and bathroom did not operate smoothly, they were stuck and hard to close, especially the bathroom doors, very noise to open or close. Bed comfortable but room only had one chair to lounge, for a couple other had to sit on bed or the office chair, should be better seating for guests in our opinion. Breakfast was good, well presented and plentiful, the area is clean. Interactive staff highly communicative and helpful. The support staff was seen too often sitting on steps on their phones - especially when there was obvious cleaning around common areas to be accomplished.

Good/Bad
Was really looking forward to visiting Savannah. Hotel was in a good location in proximity to downtown, restaurants and shops. It was updated; however, bed was lumpy-especially on edge and sadly, rooms were not within a hallway/corridor so they were open to outside and extremely noisy. Friday night a spring break started which brought a bunch of noisy rowdy college kids everywhere. The noise continued until 2 am; worst night I have ever had in a hotel. Breakfast was good when the staff could keep up with replenishing food. Savannah is a city full of history and fun to visit. Our stay would have been wonderful if not for noise from college kids.

We only stayed here for 1 night during our return home from a road trip. The hotel is in a PRIME LOCATION, making everything walking distance. The room was clean and bedding was comfortable. Our bathroom sink wasn’t working properly and hot breakfast turned out to be cold breakfast because they were “short staffed”. However, check-in staff was friendly and overall we enjoyed our stay.

I am so disappointed in the management of this hotel. My daughter and I stayed 4 nights total. 2 nights were fine but the Friday and Saturday nights included wild, loud teenagers running and screaming through the hotel, cars driving by with extremely loud radios with vibrations causing our room windows to rattle and multiple car alarms to go off all night long No Sleep at all. Saturday morning I informed the young man at front desk and he said he would have his manager contact me but no response from the manager. Saturday night same reckless behavior from these kids. Called hotel security and he did not seem to even know or hear these loud commotions. Loud again all night. What is that all about. Either you have security or you don’t. No sleep again. Sunday morning told young man at desk and he again said he would tell manager to contact me. It has been now 8 days since I am back home and no response. Have requested my money back for the 2 miserable nights. So dissatisfied. The cleaning staff and kitchen staff were good.

The breakfasts were horrible. 2 of the 4 days the eggs with ham and cheese were exceedingly runny. The first The last morning was only cold service. Sign said due to lack of staff. There were never any fresh bananas. Canned peaches were offered 2 of the 4 mornings. The first and second morning there was no decaf tea. It took maintenance 2 tries to eliminate a flashing blue light from the HVAC unit. Very very disruptive to sleep. Flushing the toilet was very noisy . It was so loud you couldn’t flush at night as would wake other person up. The No Smoking in public areas (in front of entrance and the walkways to the rooms) was not enforced. The 2nd floor ice machine was broken the entire length of the stay. The shower was exceedingly slow in delivering water. Said served cookies and lemonade from 5 to 7. Cookies were out by 5:30 . When asked if would be more was told “no”. There were blood stains on the extra blanket we requested. This was the worst stay I have ever experienced at a Best Western.

Room was clean, outside of the room and the lobby, the pool area was not clean and the chairs tables etc were in need of replacement. Noise issue the first night was unresolved. I called the front desk at 4 am as the people next door were arguing very loudly, woke us up and they did not answer the phone when staff called to tell them to be quiet. Nothing else was done so we lost a great amount of our sleep on that first night. Disappointed that staff did not deal with the situation effectively at all. I asked the next morning to see if those people were checking out or staying. Told they were leaving and they did so good sleep the 2nd night.
