Oglethorpe Inn & Suites

To start, when we made the reservation no one advised us that there would be massive amounts of construction going on. The hotel was dirty and under construction. When we first got there the water was turned off so we couldn’t even take showers. House keeping didn’t ever leave clean towels or replacement toiletries, they had to be asked for everyday. Milk didn’t work at morning for breakfast. One of the front desk personnel was very rude. Ice maker was right outside the room, and it was extremely loud. All in all, just a dirty, unkept hotel with rude staff. I would never recommend his place to anyone.

It’s a beautiful hotel; I especially love the lobby on the inside, because it looks like outdoor courtyard. The rooms are really nice too– huge and spacious with nice beds. Honestly I feel like it was nicer than the Hilton we stayed at in Atlanta and for a better price. It’s only a 15 minute drive to downtown Savannah, with little to no traffic, so if you want a nice, quiet place to stay away from all the hustle and bustle, this place is for you!

Worst hotel experience I’ve ever had! DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT STAY HERE!!! $ 140 per room, per night and under MAJOR construction. Front desk said they were «pretty sure» they told my office it was under construction when they booked our rooms. That was a lie. My office was also told they didn’t have a double room available when we tried to cancel one of the rooms and room together so we kept separate rooms. We get here and had to wait over an hour for one of the rooms due to the construction. They ended up putting her in a DOUBLE room because the construction crew left before getting her original room ready. Forget taking a nap. Banging, power tools, furniture being moved and dropped constantly. Came in from our conference today and one of the rooms had feces all over the toilet. Had to wait over an hour for them to fix the plumbing issue, and found them leaving the room open undersecured with personal belongings in it while they were working on the toilet. Then, ended up moving rooms anyway. Checking out tomorrow or I would definitely find a different place. I’m told I’ll get a discount when we check out tomorrow. It better be a damn good one. The one bright spot about this place is Marie on night shift. One if the nicest, most courteous ladies I’ve ever met. Other than that, this place is a total shit hole… literally.

This place was absolutely horrible. As soon as I walked into the room an overwhelming smell of paint was met. The paint was still wet on the walls, the lamp shades were not placed, and there was no ventilation. As a family we went back downstairs to ask for a different room. Annie (the front desk staff) said there was no other rooms available, but she said she would give a refund. While I was booking a room at a separate location she came and said I have a room for you and I can no longer refund you. We told her that we just booked another room and paid and we wanted what was offered originally. She refused and said we would have to talk to management in the morning and we might lose out on both nights. To say the least we received a refund from the booking agent used and will still have a great weekend elsewhere. DO NOT STAY HERE!

Was it perfect? Nah. But it was quiet and clean for us. The breakfast was lame, but HEY, free breakfast! The waffles were good, and there were several options. The rooms were clean and the air worked fine. We were on the 3^rd floor, and on the 3^rd/​final day of our trip, the elevator went out of service! No big deal for us, but some folks may have trouble with that. The location was alright. We weren’t super close to downtown — probably a 10 minute drive. But it was right across the street from a Toys R Us, so on a quiet Saturday night, we were able to wander there with our 2-​year-​old in the awkward time between nap and dinner! I would definitely stay here again. Good enough for the price!

(–3 STARS) I was thrilled at check in! The common area they use for breakfast was old Savannah breathtaking! Then we got in out room. It was after 1500 miles of driving that day. So to say the least we were beat. The room was huge and we slept fantastically on the king size bed! I’m sure you’re asking,“why one star then?” Well, because you can’t give negative star ratings. This SHOULD be a –3 Star hotel. Gordon Ramsey should be hosting a Hotel Hell episode from here. Sitting at the table this morning my arm started itching. Then my breathing hurt a little. I thought it weird, but continued my coffee and reading of the local paper found at the front desk complimentary. Then I looked up at the picture on the wall. It took a second to register what I was looking at. MOLD!!! BAD, THICK, UNMISTAKABLE MOLD!!! Mao I began looking around.. It was EVERYWHERE to a lesser degree!!! Thank GOD we didn’t set anything on the furniture as it is dark blue hotel pattern and I’m quite certain infested as well! I can’t wait to get out of here!!! NIGHTMARE!!! DON’T STAY!!! You can ruin your health and worst of all take it home with you and infest your home. Find somewhere newer and nicer and inspect the heck out of your room! Lesson learned. Also be CERY skeptical of the «photos by guests» posted about this rat hole. They show the «private business center»… It’s in the corner of the lobby by the elevator. Nothing private about it. It looks like they posted their own reviews and photos to boost business! Note the lack of photos of the Unilocal user with many of the good reviews. I call BS.

The exterior is reminiscent of one of the buildings in Old Savannah in this midtown location. The lobby is quaint but dated that informs the guest what is to be expected in the rooms. We had a king suite that was ample size with a large seating area separated from the bedroom and bathroom. The suite included a small refrigerator, a small microwave, and a small sink all in the living room area. The bedroom was sufficient, and although the bathroom included a jetted tub, the room was tiny. All in all the entire suite was spacious and perfunctory; it was in desperate need of remodelling. However, despite any shortcomings of the accommodations, the staff was very attentive and helpful. The location is convenient to all parts of Savannah – downtown, shopping, and the islands. Fairly priced.

0 stars. Staying in Georgia with family 5 hours from Savannah. Called the hotel the evening before check in and asked if there was a crib or a pack and play available for my 18 month old son to sleep in. They said «we don’t get many children so we will have something available for you».
Day of check in: front desk person says it is against their insurance policy to provide cribs /​pack and plays.
I would have brought one with me had I known. But how could I not know, considering their employee told me something would be available?
Solution? Book us in a Quality Inn across the street. So for the same money, a definite downgrade in accommodations. Great first family vacation.

Friendly staff. Very old and worn furnishings in the rooms. Stained carpets, dirty windows.

Overall a good stay. The room was clean and nice but not worth the price and not exactly what I was expecting. Wasn’t that much better than a holiday inn or the like and it wasn’t right in the heart of downtown or anything so I was a little disappointed about the cost. Maybe savannah is just expensive everywhere though. The concierge was very friendly and helpful. About a 15 minute drive from the historic district… might be worth staying right there for close to the same price or a little more.

Stayed here for five nights while attending a program. Definitely dated. Beds need to be replaced — actually had indentations in them! Windows didn’t open and air conditioner blew right on the bed.
Breakfast was minimal — sub-​par to the ordinary. The toaster only toasted on one side. Only one waffle maker. Luckily there were breakfast places close by.

We were very comfortable, being a family of five in one suite. The inn was clean and had everything we needed: 2 TVs, sink separated from bathroom, laundry machines for our use, parking just a few yards from our room, WiFi, plenty variety at breakfast, etc. nobody seemed to mind that our kids were noisy, but there also weren’t many kids there at all.
The only downside was that you can’t walk out of the inn right to the sights, although everything was less than 10 minutes away.

As far as a last minute booking for a one night stay in Savannah, GA, Oglethorpe Inn & Suites provided a good experience to fit our needs. The inside is very 1970’s in shape, décor and design. Aqua blue is the main color palate, with some comfortable seating in the lobby.
Front desk operatives were friendly, but not overly engaging nor friendly leaving me with the feeling I may have been more accepted elsewhere.
Breakfast buffet’s in these Inn’s are what they are. A few boiled eggs which look like some marvel of modern science, cereal and some English muffins. The Jimmy Deans microwavable breakfast biscuits were not something I would consume, but other residents were really attacking them as fast and processed food apparently brings out that need for immediacy mentality.
The room was larger in size than I expected, bed was quite comfortable, so nothing to state in a negative mannerism there, Outside parking was not very close to the building, but did not lack for space.
A fifteen minute drive to downtown Savannah.

Beautiful place to stay. Nice, spacious room. The staff was really friendly. Nice outdoor pool and great breakfast.

Maybe I expect too much, but getting here and having the Front Desk Clerk change our room number JUST after we got it (But before we went to the actual room) made me feel ill at ease.
The rooms themselves are a good size with a parlor and a sleeping area, which I had no complaints about.
They could do themselves a favor and have a few more customer accessible electrical outlets in both the parlor and the bedroom. I had to plug my laptop into a plug near the coffee machine so the farthest I could make it was a chair next to the couch unless I moved the couch out and unplugged one of the lamps. For my CPAP machine we had to buy an extension cord to plug into the outlet inconveniently located behind the bed.
The Free Internet was pretty poor, at least in our room, providing us with many minutes of «waity» bars and spinners.
The final two disappointing points are the almost overpowering FRESH smell. As thought they are trying to shove a smell into your nose to convince you of the overwhelming freshness they provide, as if to counter this though, the housekeeping service never attempted to clean our room. I’m not sure if it was because they were hard at work trying to clean our original room, or if they just didn’t give a crap.
I won’t be giving a crap about staying here if I ever return to Savannah and I suggest you don’t either.

This hotel is ok, if you have never stayed in a nice hotel and have nothing to compare it to. Oglethorpe Inn & Suites is more of what you may expect from the «motel» category than hotel.
Room– Our room was pretty spacious with 2 double beds, a sitting area (couch & armchair), though the bathroom is very small and does not have venting (mildew & mold on ceiling & walls, ick). I am very picky when it comes of hotels… this place does not appear very clean and gives me a general sense of ickiness. However, all sheets & towels were clean and I had no issues while I was here.
Amenities– Free breakfast in the morning in the central courtyard area of the hotel means you will be woken up by screaming children and yelling adults getting breakfast. There’s free wifi, and 2 community computers in the lobby. The pool in the back of the hotel– small pool and surrounded by plastic deck chairs and umbrella-​ed tables… the towels are tiny (I needed three to cover the chair). In the room, there’s a mini fridge so you can keep your beverages cold.
Location– it’s located about 15 minutes drive from downtown… it’s an easy drive and there are lots of stores and restaurants in the immediate vicinity if you do to want to venture far. The area is mixed– there’s a fair amount of pawn shops, check cashing places, and places that offer you cash for your car title, but not right next to the hotel– I felt pretty safe, especially since all the rooms were accessed from the inside.
Rate– Definitely a value choice if you are visiting Savannah and are just looking for a place to crash and not spend alot of time in– we paid just over $ 60/​night booked through Expedia, but if it were my decision, I probably would have bumped up my spending limit for something a little closer to downtown, and up a couple stars.

I was thoroughly impressed w/​Ogelthorpe Inn. The staff is pleasant and helpful and the rooms are spacious and well-​equipped. While the hotel is not located in the gorgeous downtown area, it is only a short drive away. For budget conscious travelers, the cost wins!

I was torn as to whether or not to give this 2 or 3 stars. We recently stayed here during our Savannah vacation. I picked it because it was significantly cheaper than staying in the historic district, and it didn’t look scary. Plus, the room rate came with breakfast.
We checked in and found out that what I had been quoted over the phone when I booked the reservation ($ 89/​night, not including my AAA discount), was incorrect. I was charged $ 90+ a night with my discount. The rate was actually $ 109. The clerk asked me if I had received an email confirming the rate I was told over the phone, and since I never received anything of the kind, I was pretty much screwed. The room was very spacious. It’s run down, but it’s fairly clean and decent (although when I stepped into the shower for the first time, I found several hairs). The room comes with a mini-​fridge, microwave, couch, etc. They also include high-​speed internet, which in our experience barely worked. The breakfast wasn’t anything to write home about. They have bagels, waffles, toast, yogurt, etc, which is pretty much all previously frozen. There’s also cereal, a juice machine, coffee, and water. It’s free, though.
The rooms are all accessed from the inside, which is great for safety. However, this means that you will hear every single person in the lobby while you’re sitting in your room. Screaming kids, etc.
Overall, it wasn’t worth the money. At $ 60 or maybe even $ 70 a night, I may have considered it. Next time I’m staying somewhere different.

A nice place to stay, but not downtown. It is conveniently located to the downtown area if you have a car– about a 10 minute drive. The place is very clean and the staff is nice. Our room was spacious and quiet and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and the vanity is separate from the shower area, so two people can get ready at the same time.
The continental breakfast has rolls, yogurt, fruit, coffee, cereal, etc. Definitely will stay here again next time we’re in town.

Here is where we stayed during move out! This hotel is not located in the immediate downtown area, it’s down one of the main streets (Abercorn) and is about 10 – 15 minutes away from Downtown. So the con is that it is far away, but the pro is that since it isn’t downtown it is way cheaper! It worked out really well for my mom and I, we had a rental car and didn’t mind driving down there when we were done with the moving.
The room was really big! There was a couch and a bog chair as well as a mini fridge, perfect for keeping water cold in the summer heat! We had a king size bed and a huge bathroom. Everything was nice and clean, the only bad thing was that the ac broke in the middle of the night and was putting out heat! But they fixed it the next morning with no problem! They offer breakfast in the morning and they have 2 computers and a printer available in the lobby for guests to use.
Would stay there again!
