I'm sure the GM will take care of us again.
messed up my room # it was x22 and not x24, so x18 would have that building in front of it when I leaned over the railing on my balcony I saw where the next balcony was and it looked as if it had a building right in front of it and to see the Sq a person would have to look/lean to the right. good to know that isnt the case

Had an excellent stay here. Booked a super low cash rate, upgraded to the Andaz suite. The view was not so great, looking at the pool area. The suite itself was pretty nice. Spacious bathroom with a separate tub and shower. Every staff from valet, front desk, to housekeeping was pleasant and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious and the service was very quick for me (probably because there were only 3 tables when I ate). Valet charge was waived at check out.

During my last stay they contacted me via WhatsApp from (912) 420-4119. Clicking on that contact shows an email address: [email protected]

Had a two night (Sat-Mon) stay here in late February, burning two cat 1-4 certificates. Was upgraded to a "loft" (the smallest suite) as an Explorist without asking.

+ Great location, we walked everywhere we needed to easily.
+ Great value for points/cert redemption (I did not see a single weekend in February/March where cash prices were less than $375)
+ Dog friendly
+ Nice happy hour in the lobby bar (for all guests I believe, we did not partake)
- Self parking was a dumpster fire (underground garage was extremely full and every single elevator up to the hotel was out of service!)
- Fri-Sun points/cert bookings seemed to blocked (hence our choice on nights). I'm sure management does it intentionally to get those sweet cash bookings.

You cant blame them for the parking since its a City owned lot and therefore a Globalist who gets it for $0 cant complain since the Hotel would be correct if it didnt comp it , 1 better on a very inexpensive weekday stay apx $147 they still Comped the parking and it was Valet

Not blaming the hotel for the parking, just letting others know what to expect if they are visiting as a non-Globalist. Valet was something like $55 per day (versus $26 for close to 48 hours in the city garage), so really only worth it if you are getting it comped as a Globalist.

Yes, my wife and I stayed there last week on paid stay and got it comped. Very glad too based on the comments above.

Brief highlights of our stay:
- Upgraded to Ellis Square suite as Globalist. More of a Junior suite but view of the square was nice and wrap around floor to ceiling windows brought in a ton of light. No proper desk to work from was annoying though.
- Breakfast was one of the better weve had at a domestic Hyatt. Shrimp and Grits were the highlight.
- Gym was not adequate at all, way too small and old junky equipment.
- Location is great as mentioned by many, you can walk everywhere.

A few things; 1- if you self park it on your own its $16 but you cant park the car in the hotels section of teh lot.

2- when I got there at 4pm the Lot had a sign lit that said FULL

Valet or Self Park is both in the same City Garage. The Hotel does not have its own lot, also Valet come swith In & Out, Self is a 1 shot deal if you go out and back in you hav eto pay each time, of cause the 1st time will be based on the # of hours you were there up to $16

FWIW its the same self park lot tha the HR says they have. Valet by the HR is under their Hotel but they mention the City Garage if you want to Self it

Not sure if anything is new here, but writing this up anyways.

I also had no problem using the 4pm late checkout - worked really well for my wife that was flying in and wanting a place to freshen up before we continue on.

No real upgrade since the rest of the hotel was full, but was on the top floor with a balcony city view.

They have a happy hour from 2-5 (or 6?) every day - we had cheap gin and tonics and a flatbread for lunch.

The breakfast was nice, I had the shrimp and grits along with a coffee and orange juice with no issues on the bill.

Globalist welcome gift of a few sample size bottles of vodka and bourbon along with a local snack. Mini fridge was included, except for the alcohol.

It was pretty warm in Savannah, so the AC had a hard time of keeping up a little bit, it was 72-73* before I went to bed but it caught up to 70* sometime during the night.

Valet was busy, make sure to message well ahead of time (20-30 minutes) for when you need your car, but worked out well for a Globalist. Would recommend for the 18,000 points I spent.

Assuming that the SMEG thing is a refrigerator, it looks ancient and far too big for a hotel room, yet the room seems to have a normal-sized modern minibar cooler too.

Yes, that SMEG is a retro look fridge. Some rooms/suites have microwave and sink and Keurig coffee machine on the counter which makes it look more like a kitchen.
