My sister and I stayed two nights. Each night, we found German roaches in our room. The room was not swept and the staff member at the front office said she could not help. Other customers were complaining about the same issues in the front office. The staff member kept shrugging her shoulder and said that is the way it was. I will never return to this location.

The place is sooo rundown and not maintained. Don't be fooled like I was. The pictures on the internet are from when the place was brand new. Now its so old. There were holes in the walls, the ceiling was peeling. Our bed was broken so we requested for a refund but the staff was very sorry about it and offered to give us another room. They advertise that it's non-smoking but every single part of the hotel smells like you're the one smoking. The rooms are not sound proof. You can hear a whole conversation of people standing in the hallway. Our door handle looked like it could easily be kicked down. There was a nice surprise though. All rooms have a stove if you want to cook. Staff was friendly though and location was close to downtown which I was happy about.

Roaches found in drawers, microwave, and a/c unit. Asked staff for towels and was told they were “out”. Manager said only housekeeping can get towels, how does that work? Better than sleeping in my car worse than literally any other econolodge I’ve been to. If the location wasn’t as convenient as it was for my commute to Savannah for the weekend a 1 star would be generous.

I reserved a queen bed and got 2 full. The picture looked way better than the actual property. The pool was not functional. The location is far from ideal for what we had planned. Price wise it was our budget but it was a drive everywhere and because of the distance from everything I wound up paying more for parking than I did for stuff us to enjoy our vacation.

When we told him about it, the maintenance guy said to change the room but we were tired already from driving a long way and did not want to go through that, especially because it was raining. Other than that it was a quiet place to sleep and there was no noise or other problems

Floor of room didn’t look like it had been vacuumed, latch on door was broke, you could tell the door had been kicked in at some point cause it didn’t close fully towards the bottom. Shower pressure was garbage. Hotel was about 13 minutes from downtown Savannah which was great but I probably wouldn’t book here again. Beds were uncomfortable, pillows could definitely be better. Half the electrical outlets/usb ports didn’t work.

Hotel seems to be in a safe area. It was pretty quiet except for the workers cleaning rooms yelling back and forth to each other at 9 a.m. they do not clean your room while you are staying here. They empty your trash and change out Your towels only. The bed sits on some kind of metal platform, and when you sit down on it. It sounds like roaring thunder the first time I did it, it scared the crap out of me. This is a no-frills hotel and with the exception of them not cleaning it, it was fine. No bugs or anything. Hot water with good water pressure. Ten minutes from downtown savannah.

The room was clean and quiet, and we couldn’t hear the airport at all.
The only small thing was that we had to wait about 10 minutes for the man at the front desk to come back because he was helping someone else check in. Also, we didn’t put the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door, so around 9:30 or so, housekeeping opened our door. But the man was very polite, so it wasn’t a big deal. Just in case, I recommend using the “Do Not Disturb” sign to avoid situations like that.
For the price, it was a great option. Overall, we were very happy with our stay at this hotel

Calamity

We were segregated by race and then left without power for hours

I have checked out of this Econo Lodge But the worst night was Tuesday, September 21, 2026, when the power went out for hours. No AC. No lights. 87 degrees inside the room.

What made it even worse is that this hotel openly segregated guests by race.

They have two clearly different sides of the building one rundown, one well-maintained. White guests were placed on the better side (Block 4). I was originally put on the worse side. When I went back to the front desk, I told the clerk that I would cancel my entire 7-night stay if he did not move me to the better side. He quickly made a phone call, hung up, and changed my room to Block 4.

That should tell you everything they knew exactly which side was better and they knew they were wrong.

On top of that, they run three different WiFi networks and segregate who gets the strong signal versus the weak one. Again, white guests got the best connection. Black guests got the worst.

The room itself was also unsafe. The safety lock on the door was broken off. And the door itself had to be lifted up in order for it to even lock.

When I asked the front desk for help during the power outage, they did not offer a refund or relocation. They simply left us in an uninhabitable, unsafe room with no power in summer heat and could not give an estimated time of when the power would be restored.

I have filed complaints with the DOJ Civil Rights Division & CH Corporate

STAY AWAY….Photos are misleading and the facility is unsecured. Looks as if people are living at the facility. Made the mistake of trying to open the wrong room and was able to open the room. When we arrived to our room it was musty and the floor was coming up due to moisture. The place was in disrepair compared to the photo listed. We spent less than 10 minutes before retuning the room cards and leaving.

We decided to take a last minute trip. This location was close to where we wanted to go, and it was within a decent price range. We checked in late. The attendant wasn’t very friendly, but he wasn’t rude either. The room was okay. It looked like they were trying to renovate, but just patched some things up. For the most part it was fairly clean. The floor in the shower was a bit scary looking, and our hand soap was already open, but otherwise it was fairly clean. Also, the bed was not the most comfortable. Overall, I didn’t have an overly positive or negative experience here. You get what you pay for, so it served its intended purpose.

I booked this room for my son for his work trip. When he got there & checked in, he FaceTimed me and said…”uhm well the pictures online are not accurate”. He then walked around the room showing how filthy it was and did not even have a smoke detector as it had been removed. It was a room w/ a kitchenette. There was a gross drip like stain on the wall, lopsided drawer on a dresser, weird stain on the top of the comforter. The AC unit was disgusting, the latch on the door was broken and not secured. The door looked like it had been kicked and even though it closed fully it looked bent, I will be happy to share photos if I can. Do not stay here!!!

We did not know that this location was an Extended stay until when we were leaving. The doors were inside but when we went to enter the bldg and our floor, the doors were not locked. Instead of using our key card to access the bldg, we could just pull the door. There was no security.

People could cook in their rooms but my room didnt have any sprinkler heads nor was there a smoke detector.

There were holes in the wall and the door was bent as you could see where someone kicked the door or hit it real hard. The paint on the walls was peeling. There was no telephone or lamp. The plugs between the beds were not functional. We had to clean the tub before it could be used.

They gave us a new room but it reeked of weed and cigarette smoke. So we stayed with the initial room.

I am giving 1 star because the night attendant allowed me to use his personal extension cord for a medical device.

Breakfast is cereal, toast or a donut, not worth the price of \"free\".

Room is run down and bed had bedbugs. People seem to hang out in the parking lot more than thier rooms. Had to get 3 lightbulbs installed, room is poorly lit.

Fridge is a decent size and there is small a microwave.

Setting aside the bedbugs (if that's possible) the bed was comfortable enough, chairs were not comfortable at all.

Shower has weak pressure.

Ice maker seemed sketchy and exterior doors were not properly secured.

It was a good stay! For the amount of money i wanted to spend on, it was on point. It was comfortable enough, did not smell like smoke/cigarettes, bathroom was clean, 2 beds clean and towels. The front desk lady was nice when I checked in. Overall, it is a great place to sleep in and refresh. I also like that they have microwave, fridge (everything got frozen, I guess I had to adjust the temperature). The place is like 12-15mins drive to downtown Savannah where we wanted to go and probably 30minutes to Tybee Island.
