It was clearly a place that used to not be so great that Best Western cleaned up. A staff member made a few mistakes throughout the stay but it was the same one repeatedly and others fixed it so it might’ve just been him. Overall, a perfectly fine place to stay for a night but wouldn’t be my first choice

I loved the area. It was conveniently located near River Street and City Market. This was the second time I stayed at this hotel. The staff was polite and the breakfast was very good. My room was clean and comertable. My only complaint was that the a/c struggled durring the day to keep up with the Savannah heat.

The hotel Grounds where dirty, trash cans over flowing with trash. The Bed was hard as a rock. But the room was ok. The bathroom and closet doors which where double didn't close unless you forced them to shut. I was surprised it was in this condition most of the Best Western we've stayed at are nicer.

The room was nice and comfortable but the walls are paper thin and you could hear the couple next door talking quite clearly. The hotel does provide a sound machine to drown out noise which was helpful for sleeping.

Mediocre at best! Room wasn’t very clean, carpets had just been washed but were still wet in our room; continuous music from hotel across the street - the ENTIRE night! Location was central, and I guess you get what you pay for.
