I love to stay in a historic hotel but the staff was less than enthusiastic to be here. People outside were friendly and inviting. Roma the person at the desk should not be the one to engage visitors. She was lazy in tryin to secure an extra umbrella. There was a big storm at night and I had to share an umbrella walking the streets of Savannah. I also had to wait 1 hr for soap in order to take a shower. The soap in the shower was not filled at the beginning of my stay. And I ran out. I almost missed my tour and there was no sense of urgency to remedy an easy fix. My bathtub had a huge crack in it exposing the raw metal. I really did not enjoy showing in that tub.

I really enjoyed the southern hospitality of everyone. It is a great location for all of the historic sites and right on the free bus line. Valet parking was expensive but car was safe and was quickly retrieved.

Great Location, Good Customer Service, Dated Room.

My family of 3 recently stayed here for 4 nights. Great location for walking anywhere you want to go. Good and attentive customer service. I booked and paid more for the corner executive room with 2 double beds and a balcony, only to find when we arrived that the door to the balcony was sealed shut for "safety reasons." When I mentioned this to the front desk, they gave me an $80 voucher to use in the restaurant and coffee shop, which I appreciated and we did use. The food was ok. The hotel lobby is very modern and eye-catching with beautiful artwork and chandeliers, but our room, while clean, was very dated. The furniture and window treatments could use a refresh. The pool area was also dated with worn out pool chairs. Overall, it was a good stay and the customer service somewhat made up for the hotel's shortcomings.
