Nice room and hotel,although paid extra for view on main street and it was very noisy and we were on 5th flr. Also,wasn't happy had to enter shower next to toilet instead of door opening on right side by wall. Clearly it was installed backwards and we had to squeeze past toilet to get in and out. Good thing we are average sized people. We weren't reminded at check-in of free breakfast and spent money every morning at their coffee cafe. If you visit and want to sleep in,get a room in back otherwise nice.

The hard product here, the room itself, is actually pretty nice. The hotel was recently renovated, and it shows in the room. The lobby area is large, but could use some work. The real issues are the service. The hotel bugs you endlessly before check in to fill in an online pre-check. When I got to check in, the hotel staff completely ignored this. When I pointed this out to the hotel staff, I received a rude response. The one service request I made, for more pillows, was not made the first time. The hotel tries to nickel and dime you for any late or early check-in check out. The gym could seriously use some work. There was only one working treadmill, one of the exercise balls was broken, and the space is very small.

Pro valet bring your car right up. Cons, the receptionist did not apply my payment for valet parking. I paid $96 in cash. The African American women with braids did not apply payment to room. When I checked out I had to go back in fourth with receptionist that I paid for parking cash. It was only one elevator working the entire weekend. Had to wait in a line just to go up to room and to even go to lobby. Stayed the weekend and didn’t get any towels or room clean while I was out.

The lobby was beautiful and the location of the property for the historic District was on point. The beds were comfortable and the room was spacious. The spa gave great massage and facials and they had lots of options. The concierge was helpful and offered great ideas for things to do. The pool bartender was very friendly, although the pool bar closed at 6 PM, which was disappointing. The mandatory valet service was not expected, it was $48 a day, although the valets were very personable and helpful when you needed your vehicle it was an unexpected expense. The pool was not kept properly and was green for three days. Housekeeping did not do a good job with the rooms and we had to constantly call the front desk to ask for restocking or cleaning and our air conditioning broke on our last night and had to be replaced.

I have stayed at this property many times over the years and this is by far the worst experience I’ve had. The sinks in the room didn’t drain, the shower had no hot water the first night, there’s no working ice machine on the floor, the pool was green with algae and the first day there were no pool towels. We had to take time out of our day there to have a repair man come fix the sinks.This used to be my favorite place to stay in Savanah.
