“Nice Stay”

Holiday Inn Express Savannah-Historic District

27 Mar 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We stayed two nights in mid March. The hotel is still very new, so all of the furnishings are modern, which made us feel as if we were spending more than $150 a night. The bathroom was terrific with a very large walk-in shower. If you're a bath person, you would have been disappointed (no tub); but we're not, so we loved it.

Every employee was very warm and friendly. Each was quick to answer any questions we had or help in any way they could ... and always with a smile. That's greatly appreciated.

The breakfast spread was extensive. Seeing that we're both trying to cut out refined sugar and flour from our diets, most of the food items were things that we weren't going to eat (bread, bagels, sweet rolls, etc.), but they also had fruit, bacon, and mini omelets. All in all, it really was a nice array of food.

The location cannot be beat. After arriving in our car, we didn't get back into it until we were leaving town. We walked everywhere throughout the historic downtown from the tourist office on the east end to the Pirate's House on the west end and all points between. Savannah is so lovely, especially all of the beautiful squares sprinkled throughout the downtown.

The only negatives I can think of are
1. The air conditioner/heater unit was a bit noisy. But upon checkout, they told us that it was being serviced that day.
2. The windows do not open at all, not even an inch to get a little fresh air.
3. The parking situation confused me a bit. Before arriving, I was aware that we would have to pay extra for parking. The rate given by the hotel is $10 a day for the lot next door. They validate your parking ticket and add the expense to your bill. That's all fine and dandy. But when we were in the garage elevator to go up to our car to leave, I saw a sign promoting $6-a-day rates directly from the people who manage the garage. I intended to ask about that but then forgot as we were pulling out. So I never did find out what the deal was with that.

“Still Just a Holiday Inn...”

This hotel opened approximately three months prior to our stay, which was over Easter Weekend, 2008. Location is very convenient. Hotel staff are pleasant and check in was efficient and accurate. The coolest thing about the hotel is the gorgeous pine floors throughout the lobby area that were transferred and restored from a historic house. They are spectacular. Room: Bed was very comfortable/pillows were cheap and foamy/lumpy. Room was average size, but pleasant. They have a glass door shower with a low quality "rain" style shower head. We paid extra for the river view/balcony room. It consists of a tiny "balcony" that you can open a door to, but there is not actually room to sit out there. You wouldn't want to, because it basically just overlooks busy Bay Street. If you look hard, you can see the river behind the buildings across the street. My biggest complaint about the hotel was the maid service/cursory cleaning. While new, and still in good condition, clearly they are understaffed on maids - our room was finally cleaned at 6 PM. And the floss threader that was on the bathroom floor when we arrived was still there when we left. The glass shower doors clearly got a cursory, smeary wipe. Unless their cleaning standards really improve, this brand new property is going to be pretty trashy after about a year. Also, the complimentary breakfast was the worst of any hotel I've stayed at that includes breakfast. It was on a par with McDonald's.

“Watch out for the "riverview" request”

Holiday Inn Express Savannah-Historic District

21 Mar 2008

The hotel was pretty nice but I had requested a riverview and had a horrible view of the warehouse, port buildings on the river. I could barely see the river across the bridge. The noise from the street below was not too good either. Other than that the hotel staff were very polite and kind and we enjoyed Savannah. The hotel is very near the Riverwalk. The facility is nice.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The bellman was a super, super friendly guy. Wish I remembered his name.
    • Disliked — The "riverview" was horrible and should not be advertised as a riverview.

we stayed there on 3/16-3/18 and caught the tailend of st pats day celebration along river;it was fun. the hotel has an excellent and very helpful staff. also the hotel is clean and quiet as our room faced the parking garage. the only downside i seen was that you had to park in a municipal lot and it costs us an extra $10 a day. i would overall recommend this hotel as the location is excellent for walking the towns squares.

We recently stayed at this hotel on March 2nd and 3rd. We paid extra for a "Riverview" room with a balcony. My problem was our room's location.. .. We were on the third floor, right on Bay Street, couldn't see the river at all, and heard non stop heavy traffic 24 hours a day for 2 days. I would have asked to move, but I heard while checking in there was a convention and they were completely booked.

I'm guessing if you have this "Riverview" room, on one of the upper levels it might be quieter and provide a better view? I also guess if I were a heavy sleeper, this would not be a problem, but I am a light sleeper, especially away from home.

The hotel was very clean, brand new, had a nice breakfast, friendly staff, and had a great location. Other than the 24 hour noise and lack of a view, I would recommend this hotel, however I would probably not stay here again and risk the noise.
