Front desk should not tell you that they will take $50.00 off per night and then say they can’t do that. I’m also a IHG member and a military veteran and she still couldn’t help us out. We had to pay another $246.00 for the two nights . That’s as much as another night. This is an issue for all guests. The elevator certification was expired. I have a picture to prove that.

This was our second stay at the Holiday Inn Historic District. Our room was superb - it was incredibly comfortable with a homey atmosphere - really beautiful room with a view of the river. The weather in Savannah was not great, but the room really was a perfect hideaway from the cold. The staff were really helpful and very welcoming.

Best hotel pillows we have used in some time. Bed was comfortable. We were charged $50.00 as a "contingency fee" and no contingencies occurred. It is now 10 days later and the funds have not been refunded. Why???

I have got email to register for the best view of river. I did. And I have got a view of buildings. Why you ask if you do not plan to deliver. In the morning at 7 am front desk was not able to get valet to come to work. We were waiting for good half an hour for him to appear and bring the car. What do you think about such service for which we paid $330

Not so good
First the good stuff: Hotel was clean, well kept and great location. The rest: We arrived early. We totally didn't expect to check in at 12:45, BUT the woman at the desk took our phone number and said I'll get housekeeping on it and I'll call you when it's ready. At 3 p.m., no call. We made our way back to the hotel after grabbing lunch. Went up to the desk and our room was ready. How long had it been ready is the question? Don't say you're going to do something (call us when it's ready), if you aren't. We purchased a room with a balcony, which we got. But there is no furnishings on the balcony. What's the point of having a balcony if you can't sit out there. Waste of extra money. The breakfast was underwhelming. Coffee was empty, out of biscuits and the orange juice was tasteless. The garbages were overflowing. I will say, the sweet woman working in the dining area (on Friday a.m.) was as sweet as can be and buzzing around trying to do all she could alone to keep up. Emptying garbages, filling the coffee and getting cups. But it was too much for just one person. Kudos to her for trying. THEN, to top it all off, we check out on 12/29, wait for valet to bring our truck, almost 15 minutes, and when it arrived a long strip of our trim is off the truck. A guy comes to us and takes a look. Goes up to where it was parked & comes back down with the trim in his hand. Then he tries to tell us he didn't think it was their fault. REALLY? This isn't over. You aren't off the hook
