A Gorgeous, Affordable, and Modern Hotel with Huge Rooms!

A Gorgeous, Affordable, and Modern Hotel with Huge Rooms!

After a long drive from New York, we finally reached Savannah at 7:00 at night. The hotel wasn't located in the historic district, but was a few miles away in a more industrial part of Savannah. It's surrounded by warehouses and factories, but we didn't hear (or smell) anything from them and hardly knew they were there. We had booked the Baymont Inn and Suites for our overnight stop because it's pet friendly and affordable, and is only two-years old so we figured it would be in good condition.

It took us ten-minutes to get to the hotel from I-95, and when we went to check in we were surprised to see that almost every family there had a dog with them. If you're traveling to Savannah with your pet, this is the place to stay! They really cater to animals. It only took us five-minutes to check in, and the lobby was bright, clean and modern. There was unique lighting and a big flat-screen TV playing television shows for the the kids. There was also a small nook where a free hot breakfast was served every morning, a closet full of board games that could be borrowed for the night, and a big Fooseball table for some extra fun.

We were in room 126 on the first floor. I was actually nervous opening the door after staying in nightmare hotels on our drives down to Florida the previous two years. After putting our room key in the slot and watching the little light turn green, I opened the door and was very happy with what I saw! The room was gorgeous and absolutely huge! It was one of the biggest hotel rooms we've ever stayed in. There were two queen beds, a couch, a table and chair set, a dresser and a nightstand, and a large bathroom. There was also a huge flat-screen TV on the wall that offered a crystal-clear image and cleared up a lot of space in the room, as well as a microwave, mini refrigerator, coffee maker, and a big desk.

The room was comfortable and inviting, decorated in warm reds, pinks and golds. The lighting was powerful yet soft, and it really created a comfortable atmosphere. The room was actually very pretty! Plus, the air-conditioner worked great which was a problem we'd had in hotels on previous trips down I-95. As soon as we walked in the room it was cool and comfortable, which was a very welcome respite from the mid-summer southern heat.

The only problem we had was that we didn't have enough towels but that was quickly rectified with a short walk to the lobby. The girls at the front desk gave us a whole stack of extra towels and were nothing but friendly and helpful. Normally we hate spending time in the hotels we stop at along I-95, but this time was different. After a full day of driving, and with another half-day of driving ahead of us, we decided to pick up some IHOP for dinner since we were comfortable enough to eat in the room. The closest restaurants were a good 10-minute drive away, but there was little to no traffic and we got there in no time. Once back at the hotel, the food was good and we had more than enough room to spread out and eat comfortably.

It was great having two queen beds in the room, instead of the usual double beds. Traveling as a family of four, and with a dog in tow, we usually rent homes or condos while on vacation, so we're not used to all squishing into one room. It wasn't at all a problem at this hotel though, as the beds and room were big enough for us to all have our own space. It was nice to relax in bed and watch "The Soup" on E at the end of a long day, without feeling closed-in or grossed out by the room we were in. We loved it and all slept comfortably.

The only thing that bothered me about the room was that my allergies started acting up early the next morning. I'm allergic to most dogs, and we have a Shih-Tzu because they're hypoallergenic. If you have pet allergies, you may want to stay away from this hotel. They really do welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes, and some people may have a problem. It wasn't a big deal to me, though, and a Benadryl tablet cleared it right up.

The hotel serves a free breakfast every morning and we made sure to check it out. While most hotels offer a free continental breakfast, the Baymont offered a full hot selection of breakfast foods. There were pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, bagels, biscuits and muffins. There was also coffee, milk and a variety of fruit juices. It was all fresh and delicious! The breakfast nook is small and can get crowded, so just make sure to get there as early as you can to take advantage of the best offerings. There was plenty of seating for everyone in the lobby, but we took our food back to the room to eat. We checked out soon after, which again went smoothly.

I highly recommend the Baymont Inn and Suites in Savannah! It's a great hotel only a few minutes away from I-95 if you're only making an overnight stop, but it's also a great hotel for a complete trip to Savannah. It's 15-minutes away from the historic district, but is much more affordable than the hotels on the river front at only around $120 a night. With huge rooms, modern amenities, and a warm and inviting atmosphere, the hotel is ideal for both families and pet-lovers alike!

Baymont a Poor Choice

Although it looks like it would be convenient to downtown Savannah it is not. It is off the beaten path, near nothing and hard to find. It is in an industrial area with screeching freight trains passing next door. Worst however is cleanliness. My wife and I finally had to change rooms because the smell was so bad. Something I would never do unless absolutely necessary. Also noteworthy was the extra $100 charge they tacked onto my bill. I was told at check in they were adding it to cover any "incidental" charges I might incur during my stay. I latter became dubious when I realized the hotel offers NOTHING else "incidental" to purchase except the room charge. The reality was it was a security deposit which I had to wait several days before I received a credit for the charge on my credit card. A very tacky and deceptive way to conduct business. Except for the large flat panel TV, it was a rather disappointing experience.
