Fairfield Inn & Suites Savannah I-95 North

The waffles were great, and the woman working breakfast was very kind. We had trouble with the batter dispenser, but she went out of her way to help. Breakfast overall was decent. The pool was open, which my wife and daughter had been looking forward to, but the supposedly room temperature water was ice cold. My daughter and I couldn't get past waist deep, so we spent most of our time in the hot tub. We were traveling with my handicapped mother-in-law and called ahead to request an accessible first floor room. My wife was told no problem, but when we arrived a couple hours later, we learned this Country Inn has no accessible rooms. They could only offer a two queen room. At least we could get her scooter inside, and we were just staying overnight. The room was decent, but smelled like corn chips and feet, and the toilet seat lid was partly broken. We were right beside what looked like a tractor trailer wash, and at 3 in the morning we heard a truck's backup beeper for about 15 minutes. I wasn't happy that we were told we'd have an accessible room, and the hotel was decent at best. Fine for a night or two, but I wouldn't spend a whole vacation here.

I always get a nice welcome here, and the rooms are consistently clean. It's a convenient halfway stop between Florida and Virginia, where I need to go. They're pet friendly, with a $50 deposit, which is understandable. Breakfast is decent, especially the biscuits and gravy, and the coffee is great. I'll stay again another week.

My biggest concern was the pool area after closing. The pool closes at 10, and we support enforcing that time. We were still drying off at 10, and other guests and kids were still in the pool and hot tub. Then all the lights went out, leaving everyone to cross an unfamiliar, slippery concrete floor in the dark with no warning. Enforcing pool hours is fine, but that was unsafe. The rooms were clean. The window shade wasn't aligned with the window, though, so the parking lot spotlight shone straight into the room all night.

We came for the weekend hoping to see snow, and we did. The employees were friendly and the room was perfect. Even with the train and trucking place nearby, it was peaceful, without the loud noise mentioned in earlier reviews. The pool was cold, which I expected in that weather, but the hot tub was amazing during the short time we used it. Hopefully we'll be back.
