We decided to give this Hampton a try due its Honors points redemption value - it was by far the lowest of the Savannah-area highway options. I have to admit I was wary due to the mixed reviews online, but we figured the bargain of a price could make us overlook some details like the age of rooms. The front desk agent, Zoltan, was incredibly friendly and a great first impression for the property. Our room, which was upgraded to a king with study a few days before checking in, was overall clean though cosmetically worn in some areas (especially the bathroom). While I did notice a smell in the room when I first entered, as mentioned in some other reviews, it never bothered me once in the room (and I’ve had various issues with cleaning products, mold, etc. at other hotels in the past). Based on other reviews, I would imagine your mileage may vary based on the room, but ours was generally fine. The property overall is definitely older and could benefit from a renovation. Some common areas, like the breakfast area and stairwell, emphasized the age of the property - yet I was surprised to see the fitness center had a Peloton! Safety wise, we felt uneasy in the parking lot at times; there was a guy who kept circulating the lot on his bike and would mumble while sitting on the curb for periods of time, and we noticed a large group at the Econo Lodge next door observing us closely while we unloaded our car. The area is limited in its offerings, as fast food is pretty much your only option with KFC and Wendy’s in walking distance (it appears even Waffle House closed). Similarly, breakfast offerings at the hotel were pretty average. We would probably wait until the hotel is renovated to return, but think it’s a half-decent value if the cash / points cost is low enough.
