Moon River District
Can't say enough great things about this hotel! This is the place to stay if you are in Savannah. Great staff, that go over and beyond from valet to front desk. Beautiful amenities including fitness center and a roof top pool with an excellent view of the boats on the water. Plus it's fairly new only a few months old so none of that clammy hotel germy feel. I really enjoyed my stay here, highly recommended.
