Bathroom
86- “I've been coming to Savannah, Georgia, for work for 3 years, and the rooms are possibly the nastiest I've ever stayed in. Granted, I don't stay at the JW or the Tribute, but good lord, they're disgusting. Does anyone else have this experience? I actually had to clean the vanity and shower; it was so nasty.” 4
Food
92- “Bahaha! We had brunch at 700 Drayton, and it was all so beautiful! You can see the fountain and the park from the windows.” 13
- “Hotel breakfasts can sometimes feel a little "meh," but this one we thought was great. And not having to hunt down a breakfast spot saved us time, money, and the inevitable hangry meltdown from my son.” 8
