It was convenient to walk to most of the attractions. We were only there for 1 night. Only thing we did not like is that they charge 36.00 to park there and that’s after paying for a room.

The hotel is very conveniently located. We stayed on the front side of the property so we could hear a lot of street noise over night. Our room was not cleaned or restocked during our visit. When we asked for clean towels on day 2 we were told none were available.

The hotel is in a great location close to both River walk area and City Market. We parked and walked all through out the historic district. Breakfast had a good selection. Beds were really comfortable. The not so great - off a really busy road, our door had a big gap at the bottom and so it was a little noisy. Double doors to the bathroom with the lightswitch on the outside, so if you are getting up in the middle of the night, it is noisy and bright. Parking - expensive, but that is the same with most downtown parking, lots are small and because of the busy road can be hard to get in and out. Overall - for the price and location, we would likely stay here again.

One of my worst stay ever in Savannah

Room was not ready when we arrived at 4pm.and had to wait about 1 hour before it was ready. The front desk employee at check-in was rude and dismissive. They placed us in a room next to the stairs so was kept awake until after 2 am with people going up and down the stairs. Had to pay for parking that was not disclosed at time of reservation. Breakfast was minimal and of poor quality.

Check in was great. Employees were all very helpful and extremely nice. The rest of the hotel left a lot to be desired. Exterior was not well kept and the room we were in was rather nasty. The interior of the room gets a ton of outdoor noise. The free breakfast was a little better than your average hotel breakfast so that was a plus. I’ve stayed in other hotels in the area that cost a few dollars more and those few dollars are money well spent.

Being able to walk around the area was nice. I would have liked more parking availability at the Best Western. Check in and check out was acceptable. We did not like the fact that an employee in the breakfast area continued to express the fact that someone left their trash on the table and the employee had to clean it up. With that being said, the trash cans were overflowing so it was difficult to put trash in the trash can. The employee was clearly not having a good day and continued to have an attitude with other guests as they came in and asked for items that were not stocked. One lady made a mess at the cereal station and told the employee that she made the mess and the employee continued to make comments about people not being able to pour cereal. The lady apologized as the employee continued to fuss. It was very uncomfortable to sit and listen to that while other guests were trying to have their breakfast.

Not worth the money.

Door to our room was flimsy and had huge gaps in closing. Barely stayed shut without having to engage safety lock. Bathroom doors didn’t close at all. And there was sand in the tub- not from us. Had to pay to Park, but parking limited
