The
Best Western Central Inn Savannah is a budget hotel located on a busy
artery outside Savannah's city center. The hotel resembles more of a
motel, with 129 guest rooms arranged on two floors of
a long building with rooms that open from the outside. Rooms are clean and well-maintained, but the decor is dark, with low ceilings and deep-brown dominating the color
palette. The property is located close to an Army air field, and the
noise of low-flying aircraft can be heard during the day. Rates are extremely competitive and offer good value, despite the somewhat
dated decor and lack of extra features. Travelers seeking a budget alternative closer to
downtown with a bit more personality might want to try the slightly quirky Thunderbird Inn.
Scene
Budget hotel with a motel vibe
The Best Western Central Inn is motel style, with a
long two-story building with balconies running along the second
floor and room doors that open to the outside. Guests staying on
the ground floor can park right in front of their doors. The lobby is filled with windows, creating a light-filled space, but otherwise
the decor is bland and dated. Brown-leather sofas are
arranged in a cluster bordered by a black-and-white carpet with
geometric shapes, but there are few decorative accents to liven up
the space. The hotel draws mainly leisure travelers, especially couples and families.
Location
On a busy artery outside Savannah city center
The
Best Western Central Inn is located outside Savannah city center on
a traffic-heavy street. Other hotels,
restaurants, and bars are within walking distance. The city's tourist
attractions, however, are farther away, and the historic district is
a 12-minute drive from here. Popular city trolley tours stop in front
of the hotel. - 11-minute drive to Grayson Stadium
Rooms
Clean, spacious rooms with small bathrooms
Clean
and well-maintained, the 129 rooms at Best Western Central Inn
Savannah are spacious and not overly cluttered with too much furniture.
But the low ceilings create an impression of being boxed in, and
the color scheme is quite dark, with brown being the dominant color. Brown bed runners, curtains,
upholstery, and carpeting create a dark atmosphere. An accent wall
painted in a cheerful peach color brightens the space somewhat. Rooms
are available with two double beds or one king-size bed. Amenities in all rooms include mini-fridges, microwave ovens, coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. They also have free Wi-Fi. Other small extras include irons and ironing boards, and hairdryers. Unlike
the rooms, the white-tiled bathrooms are cramped, with shower/tub combos; sinks are located right outside the bathrooms.The
noise from the nearby Army air field can be a nuisance during the day
with the sound of low-flying aircraft, and traffic noise can be heard
from the street-facing rooms.
