Our room was spacious and comfortable. The bar was great for drinks after a day of sightseeing. Food choices were minimal. Location was great and every where we went in the historic district was walkable.

TRYP by Wyndham Savannah Downtown/Historic District
Large room but bed mattress and linens was in need of replacement. Maintainance needed - paint on bathroom walls peeling, tub caulking missing. Whole place needs a good cleaning. Desk clerk at checkin was surly. Room rate honored for first night but then jumped by $25 for second!! Wont be back.
