Frommer's Review
Savannah's largest hotel is in a 16-story blockbuster format that rises somewhat jarringly from what were until the late 1990s sandy, scrub-covered flatlands on the swampy far side of the river. Deriving the bulk of its business from corporate groups who arrive for large conventions throughout the year, it's the largest of the four large-scale hotels that dominate the city's convention business. Yet despite a worthy collection of contemporary art that accents the labyrinth of high-ceilinged public rooms here, there's something just a bit sterile, even lifeless, about this relatively anonymous blockbuster hotel. Despite its isolated position, the hotel is served by cross-river shuttle ferries that deposit clients into the center of the River Street bar-and-restaurant frenzy. The most elaborate guest rooms are on the two top floors and contain extras and comforts designated as Club Level. Otherwise, rooms are comfortable but bland.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; 3 bars; outdoor pool; 18-hole golf course; 4 tennis courts; fitness center; Jacuzzi; sauna; beauty treatments; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; all nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
