Staybridge Suites Savannah Historic District by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Anita at the front desk was super helpful. And all staff we interacted with were fantastic. Breakfast bar was really good. We had a wonderful time and would love to visit again. Thank You"

TRYP by Wyndham Savannah Downtown/Historic District

8/10 Good

"Our Room was not cleaned on Monday of my stay. Had to make the bed and clean it myself. Complained and was told I would receive a 35 percent discount for that day. When I checked out they would not give me a receipt because I booked through Expedia. Please be certain I receive the discount please."

Cambria Hotel Savannah Downtown Historic District

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a great downtown location however, there is only valet parking and the circle drive entrance is not big enough to accommodate a truck. Can be an issue for unloading luggage. The hotel it's self is beautiful. It has been recently renovated and is very quiet. We ate breakfast at the restaurant downstairs and the food was really good!!! The room was a an odd shape but nice and large. The bed was comfortable and the room had great amenities. I would definitely recommend this hotel. Just be aware of the valet parking requirement and the issue with space if you drive a truck."
