Savannah is a beautiful town. I did enjoy the sites. I stayed at The Promenade. The location of the hotel was fine. Traffic noise was very loud early in the morning. The bathroom was clean. There was ample storage. The room in general was clean, except that I had to call the front desk to let them know that the linen had not been changed from the previous guests. I also had an employee to walk into my room unannounced while I was in the bathroom. Housekeeping had already been there. Management has not apologized for this incident.

My mother and I stayed at the Promenade Hotel on Saturday night. I discovered the Promenade on the web while looking for places to stay in Savannah. The hotel's website said that this was an "unique hotel" and that the hotel has been renovated. It HAS been renovated but that is where the story ends. First of all this is not a hotel. It is a roadside inn with an exterior corridor to get to the rooms. The pictures on the website are VERY
misleading and give the impression that the "hotel" is in a tree shaded, quiet area. The actual pictures on the hotels' website are of Savannahs' historic disctrict 3 blocks away. The Promenade Hotel is located in fact on the busiest street in Savannah and therefore also the nosiest. It is not bad if you are interested in being close to all of the activity on the weekends. But if you are interested in getting a good night's sleep, forget it. There were people walking around the hotel drunk and disorderly, parties going on next door to and above our room and when the front desk was called, no one answered because as we found out later, management was out having cars towed away ( at 2:00 am). Security finally came and around 3:00 am things began to quiet down. I did speak with the assistant manager later the next morning who said that the Promenade employs 4 security guards and they were contacted to quiet the noise. Why a hotel of 89 rooms requires 4 security guards says it all.

I missed the free continental breakfast and was going to have coffee in room but changed my mind when I found that the coffee maker had coffee grounds leftover from the previous occupants
of my room.

Management said that Savannah tends to be a bit roudy on the weekends but on Sunday through Thursday the city goes back to being a quiet relaxing place to visit.
Management did the right thing and comped the night's stay and tried to get us to stay on Sunday night, but no amount of persuasion could make me want to go back to this place.

Savannah is a place to party on Friday and Saturday nights. The exterior corridors of this hotel make this a place for people to congregate and party and no amount of renovation can change that fact. If you want a relaxing, quiet place to stay especially on the weekends in Savannah try the Doubletree, Hyatt or the Hilton. The Promanade is more like a Best Western or a Rodeway Inn.

All construction work has finished, there is still some cosmetic work going on but there is no noise. I have also read that people complain about the traffic noise but unless you live in a sprawling private estate the noise will be no worse then home. I slept like a baby and heard nothing.

The rooms are fantastic, very roomy, king size bed, large bathroom and a microwave and fridge. Free wifi too which by the way is enabling me to write this review before I forget.

I paid $129 as a walk in and I have found nothing wrong here and lots of things good. Staff are excellent, continental breakfast was fine, free parking a bonus, close to the river and to downtown.

I would recommend this hotel to anyone who would rather spend their money on enjoying themselves rather then hotel facilities that you never end up using.

The website states that the renovation is finished. Don't believe a word of it. We checked in and were told that they were finished with the renovation, they were just doing the sprinkler system. The place is a wreck, construction debris everywhere, wet paint signs on the doors,
They were actually working during the night while we tried to sleep. We awoke to find plywood platforms haphazardly placed along the walkway, to avoid stepping on the newly painted walkway
I am amazed no one has been hurt or injured on this property.
Complaining does very little as the staff is courteous but indifferent.
