pros... On the beach, close to Savannah, friendly staff, easy/free parking
cons... Older hotel that needs some updating, mold/ mildew on bathroom fixtures.
Nice hotel right on the beach. Our room was a suite, big balcony, comfortable. Overall, I would stay here again. Breakfast was okay, parking is a little tight. Pool is heated and its right by the beach.
The hotel was right on the beach so you can easily get to the beach. The pool was nice. Front desk was friendly. There is only one parking spot per room and we had 2 cars so we had to pay to park the other on the street in front of the hotel, parking on the island is $4.00 per hour from 8AM to 8PM
What a lil gem by the ocean. Nice and clean. Continental breakfast included and different types of rooms to choose from. Great place for a couple or family. Right on the beach
The hotel is right on the beach. Very convenient if you have kids. The pool is heated and decent size. The rooms were comfortable and parking was free. TV has every channel available. Our room was wheelchair accessible.
The room was nicely furnished. I did notice some mildew above the tub surround and some of the ceiling tiles are black around the edges. The breakfast area was nice. We enjoyed the continental breakfast and a walk on the beach.
