What our guests say about their stay
Ava Amaris a month ago
I stayed here last night during an unexpected and stressful time. I had been unable to sleep in our apartment for the past two nights while waiting on my landlord to address an issue, so I needed a safe place to stay with my infant. What stood out most is that the staff had no idea what we were going through, yet they were still patient, warm, and genuinely kind to both me and my baby. That level of kindness, given without any context, meant a lot. After a difficult stretch of uncertainty, it was a relief to be met with such compassion and a welcoming environment when we really needed it.
Response from the owner a month ago Dear Ava, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand how challenging and stressful unexpected situations can be, especially when traveling with an infant. We’re truly glad that you felt safe, comfortable, and cared for during your stay. At Sonesta Essential Savannah, we always strive to treat every guest with kindness, respect, and genuine care—just like family. Providing a safe, peaceful, and welcoming environment for our guests is always our top priority. It was my privilege to personally assist you, and I’m happy we could offer you a quiet space during such a difficult time. We wish you and your little one comfort and ease ahead, and we would be honored to welcome you back anytime. Warm regards, Abhi Menon Management-Sonesta Essential Savannah GA

This hotel has been recently remodeled and looks great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast in the morning was good, but the coffee machine brought it to a whole new level. I would recommend staying here if you come to Savannah Georgia. It's a little bit outside of town, but that's what we wanted. Just a 20 minute drive to downtown Savannah.

Nancy Humphreys a month ago
A nice warm breakfast with scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits & gravy stood out to me. The yogurt machine & coffee, latte or hot chocolate were icing on the top! The king room was spacious with all amenities. I would highly recommend a stay here.

Renee Brown 3 months ago
The rooms are simple, beautiful, clean and comfortable. There’s no carpet. That is a huge win for me. If I could rate the service of this place 10 stars I would. The staff here is amazing and you can tell that it starts at the top. When I checked in, I was very distraught. The manager was extremely kind and soft spoken and genuinely cared about my well-being. His kindness will not go forgotten. All of the staff that I encounter were very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend this hotel!

Alissa Shreeve a month ago
This hotel is the absolute best I have been to in a long time!!! So good, that I have stayed there 3 times in the last 2 months… It would have been more, but it was sold out! For those complaining about the hotel’s appearance… Yes, the hotel is older- it is not the luxury remodeled hotel you will pay a fortune to stay in. But the hotel is clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet, and safe. That is exactly what I look for, so I consider this hotel a bargain. That said, the hotel is definitely working to spiff up and modernize. One day I am sure it will look fully remodeled and will be too expensive for my budget. Right now, I am personally grateful to find this hotel that meets all my needs and is in my price range. The number one “feature” of this hotel is Abhi. He always greets you with a smile and is genuinely pleased to have you there. He cares if you enjoy your stay and will do his best to fix any issues you may have. He also has so much pride in the hotel - eager to point out the latest updates. I can’t say enough good things about him! He always makes me feel welcome and remembers me from past visits. He is also very observant. If he sees you need a hand or are struggling with something, he offers help. It is incredible how different this is from other hotels that try to avoid eye contact or make you feel like a bother. He is incredible. My only concern is that he must not sleep! - he is always there and available regardless of the time of day, and still he manages to greet you with a smile! Here is just a bit more info… Breakfast: typical free hotel breakfast offerings. They do have some hot food, cereals, oatmeal, yogurt, tea / juice. Don’t expect a gourmet breakfast, and you won’t go hungry or be disappointed. Cleanliness: I was hesitant since they do allow pets; however, I have been really pleased. My daughter is allergic to cats and dogs and had no issues. They did a great job cleaning if previous guests had pets. I think it helps that they do not have
Response from the owner a month ago Dear Guest, Good day Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and heartfelt review about your experiences with us.

Guests like you make hospitality meaningful, and knowing that you felt comfortable, safe, and genuinely welcomed is one of the greatest compliments we could receive. I especially appreciate your kind words about me personally. Hospitality is not just a job for me — it is something I truly believe in from the heart. I always try to treat every guest with care, respect, attention, and genuine warmth. Some guests may notice the small efforts more than others, but regardless, I will always continue giving my best and never compromise when it comes to guest comfort, safety, cleanliness, and service. Thank you also for recognizing the improvements happening around the hotel. We know our property has its own character, and we are continuously working hard to enhance the guest experience while still providing comfort, value, and a welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

Abhi, the manager was efficient and courteous. He offered to show me the room, before paying for one night. The hotel is conveniently located off 95. Even though it has seen some wear, it was extremely clean and quiet. Close to Applebees, Ruby Tuesday & Cracker Barrel. The breakfast was tasty and their coffee was delicious, made from fresh coffee beans. Hospitality was superb.
