Disliked: Staff & service
The staff is operating 2 different hotels at the same time. No staff on duty most of our stay. Had to call hotel next door for assistance and wait for someone to come over and check us in. Called front desk to ask question, no one available, had to walk to front desk to get the number of the hotel next door to ask for needed items.

The property was quiet during my 4 night stay. Staff was friendly and always greeted me when I came back to the hotel. The property is near a grocery store which was convenient. Unfortunately, my fridge was broken and moldy (would not get cold). So I was limited on purchase options. Also, I noticed that the elevator permit was expired by more than 1 year and it made a weird sound every time I stepped in. The property did have a breakfast option (hot meals on weekend) but the juices weren’t kept in a temp safe container. This resulted in the OJ expiring and fermenting. I stuck to making waffles each day since I knew they would be cooked correctly. The only other complaint was that the Wi-Fi was spotty at times.

Don’t usually comment on my stays, but this hotel is a solid stay for the price. Staff is friendly, yes the property isn’t luxurious or very new, but it’s comfortable and functional. No red flags in terms of hygiene during my stay, and it’s extremely convenient to drive into Savannah proper. Great bang for your buck, with easily accessible essentials within walking distance. Solid 4/5

Property doesn’t look like the pictures on Expedia. The complimentary body wash in the shower wasn’t filled up/completely empty, the floor of the shower wasn’t cleaned, pillow cases on one side of our king bed where very damp/wet… someone who works for the hotel knocked on our door at 11:30pm at night and asked us when we were checking out the next day… very inappropriate especially when they know when people have to check out by. Very very unpleased and IS NOT worth $160 per night.

Bed was clean and comfortable but the pillow were terribly lumpy. The rest of the room we had to sanitize what we could and tried not to touch anything else. If we hadn’t had a midnight arrival we would not have stayed at this property. Those who have rated it as exceptional have very poor standards. Stains on the carpets, walls, and furnishings. Dust on the doors and walls. The hotel lobby and breakfast area are beautifully redone but completely misrepresent the condition of the rooms which is really most important for a clean, healthy, relaxing, and comfortable stay. The breakfast area is the only space in the hotel that smells musty due to moisture control issues apparent by the extreme condensation on the windows. Breakfast is a risk at best. Juice looks like it’s been there too long and is possibly fermenting at this point. They also offer cereal with no milk, muffins, a waffle maker with no batter, and a carafe of coffee that really looks like it needs a good exterior cleaning. Spend $30 more and stay elsewhere.

I stayed at Iris Garden Inn from June 12–14 and was very disappointed. The lobby had a strong, unpleasant odor upon arrival. The front desk staff was unprofessional and untrained, and my reservation had been incorrectly checked in under someone else. It took multiple calls to a manager just to resolve the issue. The hotel felt unsafe, with people loitering in cars in the parking lot. Only one service elevator was working, and its inspection was expired (last checked in 2024). My room had a musty smell, was hot upon entry, and I found a dead roach behind the TV. It felt like the room hadn’t been inspected or used in a while. None of the ice machines worked on the 2nd or 3rd floors, and the vending area on the 1st floor was out of order too. I was beyond frustrated by that point. Staff were rarely visible, and checking out was difficult due to a language barrier. The photos online were misleading. I understand budget hotels come with limitations, but cleanliness, safety, and basic service should still be expected. I was relieved to only be staying two nights.

This our second time to stay at the Iris Garden Inn in Garden City/Savannah. Our daughter is a student at SCAD and in the past we always stayed at short term rentals in the north historic district. Last year we traveled with our dog to pick up our daughter for summer break and stayed at the Iris Garden Inn because they allow pets. We were pleasantly surprised at the newness and cleanliness of the inn and our room as well as the friendly and very helpful staff. Plus it had a large parking lot and grassy areas for walking our dog. This year no dog but booked again because we liked the convenience. It is close to the historic district (5 to 10 minute drive) and you don’t have the headache of hunting 15 minutes for an overnight pay to park space.

Unfortunately, this placed smelled like Marijuana as soon as we arrived. 1st room was not clean. Feces on the toilet. Front desk switched rooms. 2nd room was a bigger disaster. Broken shower and drain issue. Bathroom fan hanging from ceiling. Room was musty, bed linen dirty and hair present. Dont waste your time or money. Better off to sleep in your car.

Came into the lobby, desk attendant did not acknowledge us verbally or even with a smile. Check in and learned that our room had a broken window shade, refrigerator broken, air vent in bath broken. Had to go downstairs because no one answered front desk phone. Desk attendant was rude to other people checking in. I was offered a new room; however no “sorry for the inconvenience” was given. Once I changed rooms and I came back downstairs to put away the roll cart, there was no follow through to make sure I was happy with the new room. New room had working items but the bath tub was just dirty and you could tell the room had not been used in awhile with all the dust on the lamps. New room had no phone, broken clock and the charging plugs in the head lamps also didn’t work. The hallways smelled musty and you can tell cheap products were used to make it look like it’s a higher end/modern look. Haven’t tried the shower to see if there is hot water, we shall see.
