Prior reviews do a good job summarizing the property and benefits. Which was good because some of the (otherwise friendly) women working the front desk don't do a good job describing them. As a Globalist staying on points, we were given free valet parking, which would otherwise cost $42. When I stayed here a few years ago without that status, I remember stopping by at the Savannah visitor's center to buy a pass that let me park in the garage -- and any meter in town -- for a deeply discounted flat rate.
We were upgraded to a nice, stylish suite on the top floor that had a living room, kitchenette (strange to me for an Andaz) and a separate bedroom. We were given that small Globalist bag with a couple of local-made liquor miniatures and cookies. We were also offered a welcome drink of champagne or house-made sangria (not sure if that was a Globalist benefit or for everyone).
Later, and I think for everyone, we were offered 2 free appetizers per room and 2 free wine/beers (beers small, wine normal glass) per person at the bar from 5 to 8 pm. Everyone is welcome for free smores at the fire pit from 7 to 8, located on the pool deck. The pool is small but fairly inviting, and would be nice in hot weather.
There are also some free sodas, chips and granola bars in your room. You can get more at the front desk, and they keep a basket there, but it was rarely restocked, so you have to ask.
The Globalist breakfast was good, although a little slow -- and I was glad not to be paying. The famous shrimp & grits was very well executed, but fairly small and $27. The two of us also split a greek yogurt parfait, which was also small. Usually my wife and I pass on lunch after a Globalist breakfast, but not after this meal.
The location of the hotel is good. The best thing to do in Savannah is walk around, and there are 2 great walks basically adjacent to the hotel. The first is to see all the old architecture and pretty, leafy squares in town, and the other is to walk the riverfront. When you walk to the river, stop by the "District" building at the JW Marroitt to see the free art and paintings centered on pirate life.
