"Not great."
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 25, 2025 NEW
We stayed here based on the reviews and honestly it’s massively overrated. There was only one lift working for our stay and when you’re on the top floor and waiting 10 mins to get to the lobby that’s not great. There was no hot water one morning. There were repeated issues with the key card. Breakfast is poor (there isn’t even bacon) and despite it being advertised, the bar is only open Friday and Saturday for a couple of hours

"Frustrating experience"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 24, 2025 NEW
I had an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience at this Holiday Inn Express. I made a reservation in advance and even took the extra step to call the hotel two days before arrival to confirm and notify them that our flight would be arriving late — around 11 PM. Despite this, when my family and I arrived after a long day of travel, the front desk could not find our reservation. For over an hour — until 1 AM — the staff struggled to locate our booking. It was only after they finally contacted the employee I had spoken with earlier that we learned the hotel had canceled our reservation at 9 PM and attempted to call me. Unfortunately, we were mid-flight and obviously unable to answer. Even after explaining all this, the hotel had already given our room away and had no other accommodations available. At 1 AM, with two exhausted young children in tow, we were forced to scramble to find another hotel and ended up paying significantly more. This was an unacceptable experience and a failure in customer service. I took the time to confirm our late arrival in advance, and the hotel’s poor communication and lack of accountability left my family in a terrible situation. I will not be returning and would caution others to double-check the reliability of their reservation system before booking here.

"ONE OF THE BEST HOTEL EXPERIENCES WE HAVE EVER HAD"
TripAdvisor user rating 5.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 22, 2025 NEW
By far this was the best Holiday Inn Express we have ever stayed in. From the check in to the check out, my husband & I were treated so well. The front desk workers were so very friendly & they went out of their way to make our stay amazing. The hotel was extremely clean from the front desk to the elevator, to the room which was immaculate, to the roof top pool. I can't say enough great things about this Holiday Inn Express. We will definitely be staying here again.

"Comfortable Savannah"

The room was clean. AC was necessary and cold, which it was. Valeting your car is the best way to go in this part of Savannah. Shout out to Gail D’Alma. She works in the breakfast staff and was wonderful.
