Our room was clean and we received a warm welcome when we checked in. We were traveling with our 2 small dogs and we were assigned a room on the first floor which was very convenient.
Clean and comfortable hotel, located just of the I95.
The staff was super nice and friendly.

This is my second time staying there and I loved it. The room is simple, but nice and clean. The staff was friendly and professional as well. I’m going to add them to my list of Savannah hotels.
The room had the basics we needed, comfortable king bed. Coffee, tea available in lobby 24 hrs. Breakfast had everything we wanted ..eggs. sausage, potatoes, bread, bagel, muffins. Cold cereal, hot oatmeal, yogurt, juice,assorted fresh fruit. We would stop again if passing through.

The room and facilities were very clean. The breakfast was very good with many food choices. A $75 pet fee was excessive
The property was clean, and the staff were friendly. I also liked that there were several resturants close by and a couple of gas stations, which made it easy to fill-up before getting on the road. I would definately stay here again.
The room was great with the exception of the shower. It was a little tight. Probably the best hotel breakfast I've had. The room and public areas were super clean. I'd stay there again.
