The room was fine. The location was excellent. The breakfast room was not as fancy as the photos on the website made it look. One of the two elevators had a control panel held on with duck tape. When we checked in there was a problem with the computer so keys could not be made. However, they did store our luggage safely when we came in before check in time and called us when the room was ready, and stored our luggage again when we checked out. Concierge was very helpful. Overall a good experience.

The actual hotel was clean and pleasant, the breakfast was very good, as was the rooftop pool and hot tub; but the front desk staff and valets were incompetent and rude. First, it took the front desk forever to check me in- initially into the wrong room; secondly, they checked us out on the wrong day, causing our room to be cleaned out of some of our things, then they messed up our room keys, and were rude about all of that the entire time. Then they didn’t tell us that their parking fee was actually a valet service- causing us to pay extra money and unnecessary inconveniences. The valets hovered over us and rushed us out of our car whenever we arrived, one even insisted that we couldn’t access our own car without them getting it for us, and took long amounts of time to retrieve it. Also, the concierge messed up our dinner reservation by making it for the wrong night and we almost couldn’t get dinner. In short- don’t book this place through a third party, don’t get the valet service- park your own car, and don’t bother with the concierge- do your own research into dining options.

The staff went above and beyond to make us feel "at home" and make sure we had everything we needed. Check in was a breeze and check out was just as smooth! The valet parking was well worth not having to worry about your vehicle being safe and being available when needed. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone going to Savannah Historic District.

Property is nice, clean, etc.. We called early in the day and asked for possible early check in. We were told they would call us when our room was ready. We received no call so went at check-in time (4pm). Everyone else in line to check in got their room, ours was STILL not ready. Fortunately only had to wait another 20 min or so. We put our things in our room and went up to check out the pool...it was literally 'green' and a staff member was attempting to clean it. We checked again the next morning, now the pool was closed. The front desk told us it would be open at Noon. Alas, still closed at 4pm. The following day, our last day, we asked for a late check-out with hopes of still enjoying the pool before we left. We were told no late checkouts available and that the pool was STILL closed. I was coming off of a very tiring business meeting we specifically booked this property to use the pool during our stay. VERY disappointing - would not book again.
