Hyatt Regency Savannah
"Why did this hotel catch your attention?From the outside, the Hyatt Regency Savannah is a somewhat unremarkable, modern, cream-colored building. Step into the lobby, though, and you'll see the cavernous space opening up and the interior design choices coming to the fore. The lobby is filled with plenty of nooks, crannies, and sculptures. Tell us all about the accommodations. Any tips on what to book?With views of the Savannah River, our River View King didn’t disappoint. The fixtures and fittings were simple and contemporary; browns and creams dominated the color palette, with lime-green accents in the form of the chairs. Is there a charge for Wi-Fi?The Wi-Fi was free and fast. Drinking and dining—what are we looking at?The all-day Moss & Oak has a fairly generic menu, though some dishes reference the city: cheesy grits and a pulled pork skillet for breakfast, say, or low country she crab soup at lunch. Chicken-fried chicken and sweet tea–braised beets are among the more interesting options at dinner. A small market onsite sells snacks, coffee, and other essentials. How is the service?The service is polished; check-in was handled efficiently and staff greets guests politely at every turn. What type of travelers will you find here?With a democratic price point and a variety of room sizes (including larger, family-friendly rooms) the hotel draws people from all walks of life. What about the neighborhood? What's the scene?Perched on the banks for the Savannah River, the hotel is within walking distance of restaurants, attractions, and the entirety of the downtown historic district. Any other hotel features worth noting?There are fitness and business centers, plus a heated indoor pool that stays open year-round. Bottom line: Worth it? Why?The hotel delivers service that Hyatt fans will relish, with a lobby that keeps it from becoming a faceless chain." - Paul Oswell
