The property is only 4 miles from downtown Savannah. They have a shuttle service that is free, but limited time slots. Only $10-15 for uber/lyft. Just easier commute. Saving money for excursions.

It looked like the room and bathroom had been renovated. So, everything was nice and clean. Only downside was that I was kept waiting for a considerable time at check in as the receptionist was having a long conversation with someone

Great place to stay just outside of the historic part of Savannah. Great for proximity to SCAD student. Super clean and comfortable. No breakfast, but Savannah has so many great places we don't mind.

New facility. The staff is terriffic. The entire place is clean. Spacious rooms with a coffee maker and refrigerator. There is a small microwave in the lobby. There is an attached restaurant and bar. I didnt try the food, but coffee was good, if a bit pricey at $2.25 a cup. The hotel is a short drive to Historiic Savannah or Hilton Head.

Very good overall. Just disappointed in the shuttle servíce. I needed it to get me to the train station by 7:30 am but it did not start running until 9:00. I don’t recall that being mentioned in the listing and I chose this hotel for that reason

Nice hotel

The hotel was nice and clean! Looked just like the pictures. The bed was actually comfortable for me. Food was good. Only draw backs during my stay was that there was no microwave in the room. We had to go down stairs and use this tiny microwave to reheat some fries for the kids. And the sliding barn door for the bathroom while nice didn’t leaving you feeling like you had privacy. The bar closed early at 9pm, no pool, and there market was completely empty with nothing in it to buy.

Great hotel to stay at when you want to be close to the historic district (and SCAD), but don't want to stay downtown and pay the high prices.
