Scene
Chain hotel with pleasant, if bland, contemporary decor
Situated on the edge of Savannah’s historic district, the Comfort Suites Historic District is a standard chain hotel that’s geared toward budget-minded tourists, particularly attracting an older clientele and military veterans with its priority vet parking spaces. The interiors are pleasant, if a bit bland, with contemporary decor; the inviting lobby lounge area is filled with modern furniture and a geometric rug, which pair well with the cozy fireplace and lovely hammered copper ceiling. Several potted plants provide fresh bursts of green to a neutral color palette that favors whites and grays. The breakfast room is fairly standard and a typical, chain-like space with wooden furnishings and floors accented by a blue wall. The indoor pool has a cabin charm to it, surrounded by wood panel walls and ceilings, and white Adirondack chairs.
Location
Located on the border of Savannah’s historic district, two blocks from River Street
The hotel is on a busy street that’s two blocks from Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the west border of Savannah’s historic district. The popular River Street, lined with shops, restaurants, and galleries, is also two blocks away and other sights that are within walking distance include Savannah’s City Market (ten minutes away) and the Savannah History Museum (15 minutes). Guests can also utilize the free hotel shuttle that goes to the historic district or one of the city's free shuttles that stops nearby at the JMR Transit Center (six-minute walk). Many other sights are a short drive away, including the Savannah College of Art and Design (18-minute drive), the Savannah Theatre (five-minute drive), and the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist (seven-minute drive). The Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport is 20 minutes away.
Rooms
Classically decorated suites with microwaves, mini-fridges, and sitting areas
This all-suite hotel features standard, classic furnishings typical of chain hotels, including brown patterned carpeting, wooden furniture, white or cream-colored bedspreads, and olive green sofa beds in the living rooms. The spaces are pleasant and comfortable, if a bit bland and lacking character. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, writing desks, mini-fridges, microwaves, and free Wi-Fi; some have wet bars. Most rooms have lackluster views over the parking lot. Plain, tiled bathrooms have shower/tub combos and large black granite top vanities with ample storage space.
