Hyatt Regency Savannah

6/10 Okay

"Furniture was dated with signs of wear and tear(chips, repairs to walls). Exposed wires above closet. Mattress and bedding needs upgrading. Lobby was very nice and location excellent, walkable."

Planters Inn on Reynolds Square

8/10 Good

"This was our first time in Savannah, and we wanted to be in the Historic District so that we could walk everywhere for our only full day in the city. We try to travel on a budget, and Planters is a relatively inexpensive non-chain option with nice reviews. I chose the most basic room- no balcony, no view, ended up by the elevator- you get the idea. We stayed 2 nights and were pretty much in our room only to shower, rest, or sleep. I’d say our stay in Room 503 was adequate to good at best. Pros: Property is affordable and quaint, in a perfect location, and impeccably clean. Staff were friendly enough with one standout— Carl greeted us outside as we pulled up at check-in and went out of his way to be kind and helpful. He even pointed out a parking spot on the street just steps from the hotel where we left our car for the entire 30-odd hours of our stay (street parking is free on Sundays) costing us only about $6 total! Cons: The room could use refreshing— stained blind on the bathroom window that didn’t go all the way to the sill so that I could see people in the parking garage while I was on the toilet, as well as the stained carpet and faded paint made the room look run down. Towels not very soft. Sink area is tiny. “Antique” queen bed was lovely to look at, but for me the mattress was too soft and made an annoying sound anytime my husband or I turned over. Pillows not very comfy either. LOTS of noise from HVAC system, parking garage, and hallway by elevator. "
