My room was spotless and well-appointed. Only one negative: after confirming in advance the pool was open my key would not open the security gate. I loved the location only one street above the river walk.

Great location! Friendly helpful staff. Clean rooms.

Great property to stay at in Savannah.

The staff at the Best Western was amazing. We loved our check in process and Mary at the concierge table was fabulous. The room we had was extremely noisy with staff members and others standing outside the room and in the parking lot talking very loudly for long periods of time. The room was sufficient for one night on our stop through and breakfast was a nice perk, but just too loud for us. We did call the front desk to see if someone could talk with the loiterers but she said "I'm the only one here and I can't help you". So, we tried!

We came to town for a wedding and are pretty familiar with the area, so we knew this would be a great location as there are SO many things within walking distance. The room was clean and comfortable. The rooms are not interior rooms, and if you are in a room with a connecting door, things can be noisy, so be warned. There is a white noise machine in the room, but we didn’t use it as we had no difficulties while sleeping. It was pretty quiet. The breakfast that’s included was pretty good. Here is a list of items we saw on at least one of the days-scrambled eggs (probably powdered though), hard boiled eggs, fresh fruit, danishes, muffins, bagels, cream cheese, toast, jellies and peanut butter, waffles, grits, biscuits and gravy, French toast sticks, hash browns, bacon, oatmeal, coffee, and tea. Cons-We called the front desk for over two hours attempting to get more towels, but nobody answered. When I went down there, someone did finally come to the front desk, and she immediately gave me what I needed. Also, on the morning of our last day, our key cards would not work when we returned from breakfast. Not sure why they would deactivate them before check out time. The water pressure in the shower is not the best. Overall, it’s a good value, especially due to the location.

great hotel

Outdated property. The shower had no stopper; towel hanger was broken; sink tap was broken making noises. The bed was inconvenient. Staff was not transparent on charges about parking. The property was not clean. Breakfast was very ordinary and not worth considering as free amenity. Do not recommend

This hotel is a class act as it has a top notch staff that is informed, professional, and welcoming as well as clean, modern facilities. The location and access to food, shopping, entertainment, and transportation is excellent and an additional bonus is the breakfast included with one's stay.

Easy access.

I like that the property was right downtown and very convenient, but it wasn't very well maintained and it was very overpriced

This property met our goal to not park on the streets of Savannah. It was located within a half mile of every downtown thing to do or eat.

Very close to historic district and river walk.

Great location friendly staff and clean

Great location.

Very good location right in front of the river.....we loved how conveniently it was located. And the parking price was reasonable.

This hotel is a lot better than expected. The location is great. It was perfect for our groups needs.
