We just returned from a 7 day stay at the Holiday Inn Mulberry in Savannah, GA, and it was the most wonderful experience in lodging that we have ever had and we travel frequently. We flew instead of driving and from the minute we entered the Lobby, Every staff member was overly friendly, courteous, anxious to see to our needs, efficient, professional. We believe Windy & Staff( Hi Sue) wrote the manual on service & hospitality. Not once in 7 days were we not greeted by any staff member without a smile and kind words. The food was exceptional, the housekeeping was perfection, the landscaping, the pool, the courtyard were all maintained beautifully. We felt like we were in a dream staying at the Mulberry and the service would end any minute ( we have stayed at more expensive hotels and they were a 2 on a scale of 1-10) . I could write a book about each staff member that we watched doing their jobs, but I think I should say a little about the location. The Mulberry is located in the East area of the historical district, and a 5-10 minute walk to the Savannah River with all it's nice stores, restaurants, attractions.
The free shuttle (excellent service) can be accessed with a 3 minute walk across the street from the Mulberry. The free shuttle will take you anywhere within the Historical district and runs every 15 minutes. The Mulberry offers a "tea" every afternoon at 4:00 with small sandwiches, cookies, tea/lemonade/water. Always , wonderfully fresh coffee in the Lobby every morning. During the tea, there is always a very talented pianist( Hi EDDIE!)
entertaining the guests which is so relaxing after a busy day of site seeing. I wish I could mention every staff member, and how they contributed to our very needed vacation, but space is limited.
In Savannah, the historical tours are very informative, and be sure and see the 50's musical at the Savannah theater. These local performers are truly talented. What a pleasant way to spend 2 hours! I would be remiss if I didn't mention the drivers of the free shuttles/Dot & Cat shuttles. These drivers are so courteous , and they kept us in stitches while utilizing their services.
What is it about this City???? Do they know anything other than being friendly?? Did we somehow luck up and visit the "right" week?? The worst part of the trip was needing to leave..
Thanks! Mulberry & Savannah!!
