I was in Savannah recently for the Savannah Music Festival at SCAD and needed a reasonably priced hotel in a good location for a few nights. I found that in The Promenade.
Our room was recently refurbished and looked quite nice. The bathroom had all new fixtures and a HUGE mirror across from the commode (which was a bit disconcerting), but was pretty nice for a hotel bathroom. The beds were comfy and there was a large flat-screen TV, fridge and coffee maker. With only 1 wardrobe, 1 chest of drawers and 2 full beds, the room was a tad small for 4 people.
Construction was largely over. There were some painters around doing exterior work. They were all nice and stepped out of the way when we came down the halls.
The concierge was helpful with maps and directions for getting about town and the folks at the front desk were very pleasant and assisted me with a special delivery I was expecting. And it was nice having access to the internet in the lobby (as I don't have a laptop). I found the continental breakfast just OK. It could have used some fruit.
The location was great. We were within walking distance to the shops and restaurants on the riverfront and all the places we needed to go to at SCAD. Plenty of night spots were walkable, too. The price was hard to beat. We booked thru an internet travel site.
The Promenade is by no means the Westin or Fours Seasons, but I wasn't looking for those kind of luxuries (and prices) on this trip. I'd go there again on my next trip back to Savannah.
