“It's hard to overstate the convenience of this downtown Savannah location; nearly every significant landmark is within easy walking distance. While the property presents a beautiful, historic facade, the interiors, particularly the bathrooms, show signs of needing an update. Still, the attentive staff, delightful pool area, and comfortable accommodations make it a compelling base for exploring the city.”
