We chose this hotel for proximity to Candler hospital where we visited a family member. We usually stay near the riverfront in the historic district. While that has its appeal, the exploding homeless population and resulting trash and filth has made that area unpleasant. It’s also always very loud all night.
We discovered this hotel to be very near an up and coming “artsy” area. Lots of trendy eateries, bars, and even breweries, and easy parking (unlike downtown). You’ll have to look past the obvious big box shopping and chain restaurants - but head toward Starland and wander a bit. If you walk the same couple miles around there you’ll discover a whole new (old) Savannah. It’s got a real hipster vibe and the locals are very proud of what’s happening here. This property is also far less expensive than the touristy historic district - which is still an easy drive away.
