Hampton Inn & Suites
603 W. Oglethorpe Ave., Savannah, Georgia, 31401, United States, Savannah, Georgia, USA
Why We Like It
For a quality hotel so close to many of the must-see spots in the western part of the Historic District, it is tough to beat the rates.
Fodor's Expert Review
The rooms and suites at this well-known chain hotel are a remarkably good value for Savannah's Historic District. The studios and one-bedroom suites have their own kitchenettes, making them ideal for families. The beds are topped with soft linens. There's even a bank of public computers in the lobby near the concierge—unusual for a hotel at this price point. There are an adjacent parking lot and a small swimming pool but, alas, no restaurant or bar.
You Should Know If you will be using the pull-out couch in one of the suites make sure to request linen at check-in.
