My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. While the friendly staff and smooth check-in made a good first impression, the room conditions and overall facilities left much to be desired. It's a shame that the hotel didn't live up to expectations, especially given the other enjoyable aspects like the location. I would suggest searching for other options.

Rooms

The room looked similar to the photos, but unfortunately, it was not very clean and had several issues such as soiled linens and a rickety shower. Overall, it was underwhelming and I would rate it as a 3.

Service

The staff was friendly upon check-in, but given the lack of available facilities and issues with the room, there wasn't much they could do to improve my stay. I would rate the service a 7.

Location

The location was convenient, just a short drive from downtown and nearby attractions. This was one of the better aspects of my stay, earning the location a solid 8.

Dining

The breakfast was quite disappointing, with very limited options that felt more like snacks than a meal. I would rate the dining experience a 4.

Facilities

The fitness center was practically unusable, and the business center was closed. The overall facilities seemed outdated and neglected, so I would rate it a 2.

5.0/10

My stay at the Grand Savannah was quite disappointing overall. The hotel has potential with a decent location near I-95, but the service and room conditions were unacceptable. I had a troubling experience with the staff's attitude and the cleanliness of the room. Though there was an effort to help, ultimately, my expectations were not met.

Rooms

5.0

The room was far from what was advertised, showing signs of neglect like a broken toilet paper holder and a lingering smoke smell. It felt unkempt and had obvious cleanliness issues.

Service

5.0

The service was poorly organized and unhelpful, especially when I had serious concerns about my personal belongings not being safe during my stay.

Location

7.0

The location is convenient being right off I-95, which was great for access to the area, and it’s just a short drive to downtown Savannah.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was lacking, with very limited options that didn't satisfy my expectations for a good meal before starting the day.

Facilities

5.0

While there were basic amenities, the overall maintenance of the hotel left a lot to be desired, impacting the comfort of my stay.
