Clarion Pointe Savannah Gateway I-95

This place was a stop onto our main destination. It was a good deal and convenient since it’s super close to 95. There is a humid smell to the place which I know can occur when it’s hot and it’s been raining but that’s usually outside or when you enter the lobby. The smell continued in the hallway and slightly into our room. I can see that they are fixing up this place and I like that. The staff was very pleasant and checking in was easy. There are areas that are furnished with new furniture and the walls seemed freshly painted. The cleaning staff does a thorough job because it’s obvious the management cares about neatness and cleanliness. There are areas that look old and damaged but I imagine it’s on the “to do” list. The simple workout area was closed but it was nice to see there was an area to do some simple exercising. I would definitely come back for a night or two. I’m not sure if I could handle the musty smell longer than that. It’s a pleasant place to stay in other than that.

Subpar Second floor smelled musty or had a weird watered down minty smell. Beds were not comfortable at all (literally had limbs go numb). Definitely hear the noise from adjacent rooms. The tub plug kept getting plugged and I tried many times to figure out how to keep it up so it could drain, but nothing worked so I showered in a pool of water. Breakfast was mid. Staff were all welcoming and friendly, they were not the problem. I think the property needs some TLC.

The handicap room had grab bars and elevated toilet. The shower was stub/ shower combo, with multiple grab bars and detachable shower head. The tub made it difficult to get in and out but the bars helped. The mattress was a comfort hardness but to hard for me. Breakfast was good with make your own waffles. There were scrambled eggs which were not dry from being out in the warmer to long. There are places in walking distance for meals too. Gas stations are near by and it off the highway 95. You don’t hear the traffic
