A really nice hotel in a fantastic location. Lots to do nearby, and walkable to River St. They do mean "double bed" in the booking, if you're larger, I'd recommend booking the king. Very friendly front staff. Pool was nice, but not enough chairs, so we didn't get to enjoy it. This hotel is definitely work a look if it's in your budget.

The hotel is in the perfect location for exploring downtown Savannah. If you like to exercise, the fitness room is lacking and machines are often broken, but other than that, the hotel is a 10/10!

This hotel is in an excellent location and has a very helpful staff. The only thing I would mark down is that while the hotel in general is very clean, someone needs to instruct housekeeping to clean the rail that the shower door goes in. Mine was pretty gross. Other than that everything was very clean.
