My husband and I visited Savannah for the first time and were excited about staying at the Doubletree - were we ever disappointed! We were given a room on the third floor, in the back corner, and it was barely large enough to hold the furniture and move around. The mattress was lumpy, the bottom drawer of the dresser was busted/broken, tissue box holder was cracked and busted up (not a big deal, but certainly not representative of quality accomodations) and there was no ice bucket. The second day there, we returned to the hotel after being out for the morning and our entire 3rd floor smelled of the paint that they had obviously been using for their redecorating - it was nauseating. The coffee in the room was awful and although there was coffee availabile on the main floor - the third morning there they had forgotten to make it and we had to ask for it. Then when we called for a valet to help bring our luggage down, we waited for over 40 minutes and ended up having to make a number of trips to bring it down by ourselves. There are other hotels that are sooo much better - we know because we stayed in one for our fourth night in Savannah - what a refreshing difference.

You can't go wrong with the location -- close to everything. Rooms were nice too, with very friendly cleaning staff. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be in the middle of it all, but I'd advise them to bring their confirmed room rate in writing upon check-in. We had issues from check-in to check-out with the wrong -- significantly higher -- rate being charged to us. It took three visits to the front desk to reconcile it because no one at the front desk appeared to be experienced or in charge. In addition, my sister sent a surprise gift of champagne and strawberries to our room via room service but it came with no card or explanation from the front desk, despite the note that my sister dictated to them. Lots of mix-ups and frustration with the front desk, but great otherwise!

My friend & I stayed here this past weekend (Feb. 22 - Feb. 24). This hotel is very close to River Street & City Market. We could walk everywhere from this hotel. The hotel is very clean and nice looking, they are finishing a renovation of this hotel. The warm cookies were a nice touch & the staff seemed very nice. Unfortunately we were put in a smoking room on a smoking floor. When we originally booked that is all we could get so we took it. We called the night before & were told that they had some non-smoking rooms open & were told that they would put a note on our reservation to give us a non-smoking room. Unfortunately that did not happen & we were given no explanation. The room didn't smell that smoky, but at about 4:00-5:00 am you could smell that lovely bar smoke smell (I'm sure from people arriving home from the bars). Other than that it was pretty quiet. We also were a little surprised when we got the bill. We had to valet our vehicle because there is only on street parking (with a meter). The valet costs $15 a day (not a 1 time fee), also they have fun things that they add to your bill like "savannah downtown lodging fee". Just be aware of all the little things that they add on to the price they give you on their website to rent a room. It was a decent hotel, but very pricey, but then again, all the hotels on Bay Street & River Street are pricey.

Had a wonderful stay at the DoubleTree in Savannah. The rooms were excellent and the Staff couldn't have been any kinder. The food at their restaurant was great as well. We had two rooms. It was a girls trip for my daughter who was to be married in June of 2007. We can't say enough good about this hotel. As a matter of fact we are going to Florida in June of 2008 and we will be stopping in Savannah to spend the night. We will be staying at the DoubleTree. This time My husband, teenage daughter, and the newly married couple will be joining us.
I highly reccommend the DoubleTree to anyone traveling to Savannah!! The location is great and you can walk to everything.
This was our first trip to Savannah and believe me, when I tell you I checked every Hotel there before booking the DoubleTree and everyone was thrilled with my choice!
