There is NO RESTAURANT at this property even though Expedia has it listed as having a restaurant. Expedia also says that it has Breakfast “included” but all they have is a handful of muffins and a few yogurts. Coffee is limited to 1 small canister and when it’s empty you have to go to the front desk to ask them to make another pot which they do begrudgingly. The staff know nothing about amenities in the area and don’t seem to want to assist guests with any info on where to find a place to eat. The room was nice and seemed tidy however the stand up shower was still full of hair. bed was very comfortable. I picked this hotel specifically because Expedia said it had a restaurant and I was going to be arriving quite late after a long day and travel and didn’t want to have to go back out to find dinner. I was terribly disappointed in the amenities and the lack of service from the staff. If you’re in the hotel business dealing with travellers, you should at least be able to tell them where a good restaurant is.

Garden City GA stay
This hotel proved to be an economical choice just outside of the city of Savannah. Everything is new and clean. It has a gym, guest laundry, and a restaurant area where it seems there will soon be a breakfast offering. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The mattress was soft and the pillows were just the right density for me. There was a fridge/freezer and a Keurig. The bathroom had hand soap and body lotion in pump dispensers next to the sink and shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers in the large, glassed shower. My only critiques of this hotel is that the water in the shower didn’t get as hot as I would like and the volume of water exiting the shower head was less than I would’ve preferred. There is some metal molding along the corners of the bathroom door that is very sharp on the edges. I cut myself on it as I was toweling off. The last thing I will say is that the staff here are very inviting and polite. It was so nice to be greeted so warmly each time we returned. If you stay here, I highly recommend eating right up the road at Smokey’s BBQ. It was incredible!!

Cheap Savannah Stay
As many others stated, it's a newer hotel, so it's clean and comfortable. Perfect if you just need a place to sleep and don't want to pay the astronomical prices on River Street. It's only a ten min drive, but in a weird location. Also as mentioned by others, not the friendliest staff. We called when we got to our room becau the dead bolt on the door didn't work, and they sounded annoyed. Needless to say, no one ever came by to fix it nor were we offered another room. Lastly, the bed sits up on a weird metal box. Every time you get off, it make a thundering sound. I could even hear it coming from other rooms

Taking advantage of a woman late at night
The first room they gave me smelled horrible, it was gross. Then they put me in another room that had hair all over the sheets. At this point, I wanted my money back but they wouldn’t. They ended up putting me in another room after they made sure it was clean and I had to accept it since it was already late and dark outside and I was with my young son. It is a shame that knowing I’m with my elderly mother and my young son, that I was put in the rut of the hotel while the second floor was nicer.

The hotel was new and very nice. I booked several rooms for employees over a month's period. One thing I thought was highly inappropriate was the fact that one of my employees who is African American was asked to show an ID when he was coming/going to his room. And why was he the only one! REALLY! Imagine how that made him feel! Put a room key reader on the elevator and have everyone go through the security check! Not just the ones that are African American!! I understand the security but I do not understand the profiling!
