We usually book our hotels ahead of time but this trip we drove into Savannah without any definite plans. We stopped at the visitor's bureau and asked if they had any specials for Thursday and Friday night and they suggested the Promenade - walking distance from River St. We were initially pleased with the room - good location and all - however when we went to bed I found what looked like dog hairs on the top sheet. We had two beds in the room so we just slept in the other bed. The main complaint I have was the NOISE!! Some have mentioned traffic noise but that was not the case here. Turns out there are several bars nearby. The patrons hang out right in the back of the hotel (where our room was) played loud booming music on their cars, shouting, etc. I called the front desk at 1:30 am to ask was there anything that could be done. The young guy at the desk (who called me honey and darling when I am a 57 year old woman) told me unfortunately it was a public street and there wasn't much that could be done. I called again at 3 am and he told me the bars were closing soon - that many of the patrons park in the hotel parking lot - and in 15 minutes it would be very quiet. He was right. I usually can just turn a hotel fan on loud but this unit only ran the fan when the air was on so I finally turned the thermostat down to 60 degrees, took a tylenol pm and was able to get some sleep. Perhaps it is not as bad during the week.
