Our room was fine. The bed was very comfortable. Sadly the slider was bolted shut leaving no access to the balcony or ability to get fresh air. The entire hotel was very dark, the hallway almost comically so. The pool was very dirty and the 10 lounge chairs for the entire pool left many people sitting on the concrete. We stayed 3 nights, housekeeping came on day 2 but didn’t return on day 3, which would have been fine had the front desk told me this was the expectation, they did not. The location is fantastic. We parked our car (valet service is a steep $48/day) and never needed it. Every place we wanted to go was an easy and quick walk. While I didn’t love the hotel, for the location, I’d stay here again

The property was really nice, very quiet clean. I really enjoyed the layout. My main issue, and it was a pretty big issue because I drove to Savannah from a different state, was that I had to wait about two hours maybe a little more to check into my room after arriving at my check-in time
