I had a great stay! The hotel is perfectly located near Savannah, making it easy to get around. Our room was very spacious and spotless. ​What really stood out was the service. We had to leave earlier than planned, and the manager Abhi Menon was incredibly kind enough to refund us for the two nights we didn't stay. That kind of honesty and hospitality is rare! Highly recommended for the clean rooms and the amazing staff."

Very clean room. Bed was satisfactory for one night. Great value. Restaurants were close, walking distance, good parking. Place was quiet. The breakfast was not appealing at all. Runny eggs were enought to sen us elsewhere for food.

During check-in, the front desk staff photocopied my driver’s license. I immediately raised an objection, but the staff insisted that this was required by the Georgia state government. I am very concerned about the potential leakage of my personal information. I have stayed at many hotels in the U.S. and this is the first time I have ever been required to have my driver’s license photocopied, which made me extremely uncomfortable. The hotel staff then stated that if I did not allow my driver’s license to be photocopied, I would not be allowed to check in, and that the reservation was non-refundable. Under pressure, and feeling that my privacy was not being respected, I chose not to stay at the hotel and instead booked another hotel.
