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.

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.

Disappointing - we picked this hotel and paid more because of the cleanliness rating our room was not cleaned when I called and explained that hair was all over the room stuff spilled on the walls - they just ok we will change your room didn’t seem to care at all. No one says hello or where are you visiting from - will not stay here again

Great hotel to stay at while visiting SCAD!

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.

The property was exactly what I needed for my Stay. My room was very clean with no grime. The only issue I ran into was a very faint Smokey smell that was in the area rather the hotel itself but that was fixed with a couple of air freshener sprays. Bathrooms were comfortable.
