Pro valet bring your car right up. Cons, the receptionist did not apply my payment for valet parking. I paid $96 in cash. The African American women with braids did not apply payment to room. When I checked out I had to go back in fourth with receptionist that I paid for parking cash. It was only one elevator working the entire weekend. Had to wait in a line just to go up to room and to even go to lobby. Stayed the weekend and didn’t get any towels or room clean while I was out.

The lobby was beautiful and the location of the property for the historic District was on point. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. The spa gave great massage and facials and they had lots of options. The concierge was helpful and offered great ideas for things to do. The pool bartender was very friendly, although the pool bar closed at 6 PM, which was disappointing. The mandatory valet service was not expected, it was $48 a day, although the valets were very personable and helpful when you needed your vehicle it was an unexpected expense. The pool was not kept properly and was green for three days. Housekeeping did not do a good job with the rooms and we had to constantly call the front desk to ask for restocking or cleaning and our air conditioning broke on our last night and had to be replaced.

I have stayed at this property many times over the years and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had. The sinks in the room didn’t drain, the shower had no hot water the first night, there’s no working ice machine on the floor, the pool was green with algae and the first day there were no pool towels. We had to take time out of our day there to have a repair man come fix the sinks.This used to be my favorite place to stay in Savanah.
