I loved this that hotel was only 5mins from downtown, easy to park and access. It was beautiful. I do wish the restaurant was open in the evenings but many great choices were a 5min drive away.

I had a great stay just wish there was a pool. U will need a car to get around it’s like 10-15 minutes from everything. The staff were nice and it was clean and quiet. There is a food mart right across the street and a Jamaican spot right down the street walking distance. I just really wish they had a pool. It was tool hot outside.

A short drive from downtown Savannah area. Reasonably priced, the quality of the rooms and premises were very clean and comfortable. A bar/cafe was available downstairs for dinning, as well as a local Jamaican and Salvadorian restaurant right around the corner. I enjoyed my stay.

Larissa was awesome and resourceful regarding recommendations for places to visit. I would select the Kingston hotel each visit to Savannah it was such a restful experience. Very clean and sophisticated, staff are friendly and quick to assist. They’re also pet friendly and that made the stay even better.

The surrounding area of this property is not the nicest. It feels a bit unsafe. But the actual hotel seems brand new on the outside and lobby area. The bathroom shower did not seem to be properly cleaned but the room itself was nice. Staff were all great and helpful. Probably would not stay again due to location, but for the price I believe it was worth it.
