The verdict
Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.
Located directly on the Savannah River, this hotel provides easy walking access to the historic core alongside practical perks like in-room kitchens and strong air conditioning. Guests regularly highlight the rooftop pool views and the lively breakfast buffet team. The primary drawback is the expensive valet parking, which costs around $48 a night and leads many guests to use the garage across the street instead. 271411
