After staying three nights at the Savannah Four Points, right next door to the Doubletree, I decided to try this hotel for my last night in Savannah. I found it generally comparable with the Four Points, but overall liked the Doubletree better because I found the setting more elegant and traditional. Basically, your choice between the two hotels should probably be based on whether you like classic hotels or very contemporary ones
The rooms in the Doubletree were spacious and beautiful with high, four poster beds and dark wood furniture. They had a wonderfully knowledgable and friendly afternoon concierge, but an unfriendly morning one. The check in staff was very pleasant and smiled a lot.
The location was sort of a mixed bag. It is right on the edge of the historic district and was very convenient to most of what a traveller would want to see in Savannah; the marketplace, the river, and easily walkable to the historic district. To get to the river cross the street and walk on that side becasue they were (in May anyway) doing repairs on the sidewalk near the hotel.
The only part of the hotel I really didn't like was the food. I ordered room service and although the food was quick, it really wasnt very good. The breakfast buffet the next morning was horrible. It had a traditional hot expanded egg buffet, but the eggs were powered and not even warm. It was also hard to get coffee from the indifferent serving staff.
