I liked the friendly, helpful staff, workout room, convenient location to groceries, pharmacy and gas, quick access to downtown Savannah, and EV charging. I felt a bit apprehensive about the transient traffic through the parking lot at all hours of the day and night and it can be noisy in the room depending on who your neighbors are for the night. Also, I would have loved access to freshly brewed coffee at the bar/breakfast area instead of only having the weak room coffee, but it’s better than nothing.

The overall experience was okay. When we first came in the guest service attendant wasn’t super pleasant. Once we got up to the room the bathroom wasn’t clean. There was hair all over the sink, counter, and shower so we went to get some cleaning supplies to avoid having another encounter with the guest attendant. Also, I was very surprised about the area the hotel was in. It was in located in an area where you could tell a lot of local stores were run down and things needed to built up.
