Hyatt Regency Savannah
Breakfast was nasty. Under cooked sausage and bacon. Over cooked biscuits. Grounds in the coffee. The rooms need updated. Old carpet and watery body soap. The doors slam so hard the room vibrates. They need new door closers.

The DeSoto
It was pretty basic. The lobby was beautiful but everything else was lack luster. Staff was kind. Food was just OK

Beach House Resort Hilton Head
We enjoyed a one night stay, as we traveled further south, breaking up our vacation journey. The time during the day spent on the beach was fantastic and the evening was exceptional getting to watch some live music with my wife hanging out by the cabana bar.
