What guests think

At Gateway Inn Savannah, reviews are mixed: many describe serious cleanliness and maintenance problems—especially roaches, stained or burned linens, strong odors, and damaged fixtures—while a few guests report simple, no-frills stays and occasionally spacious rooms.

Service feedback is inconsistent, with language barriers, limited staffing, and difficulties resolving issues or obtaining refunds reported. Several reviews cite nighttime loitering, disturbances, and police activity around the property, though some appreciate having restaurants within walking distance. A few guests also note missing or misrepresented amenities, including an advertised continental breakfast and accessibility equipment. Expect a very budget stay with significant trade-offs.

Nothing about the property was as is was presented. A continental breakfast was promised. None available. A shower chair in the disability friendly room was promised but not available. There was one worker at the front desk and one person cleaning the rooms. Nearby our room were about 5 young men who were smoking and drinking beer. The were standing in the doorways of 3 or 4 nearby room. We heard loud talking well into the night and car motors revving. We imagined the the motel’s proximity to a hospital was preclude these issues.

The place had individuals loitering outside, the room was filthy, tube was filthy no toilet paper. That wasn't the worst part. Last night the police had to come because the couple in the next room was fighting and arguing with physical injuries and no staff from the hotel was around. If you you have kids don't stay there very unprofessional establishment

The hotel was super super dirty, roaches were all over one of the 2 rooms we rented. The second room just had a few but that's still a few to many. Sheets on bed were stained and had cigarette burns. One room had roaches sin the beds!!!!! Woke up to roaches on my toddlers pillow and crawling on him. Walls are staned and damaged. Sink wasn't attached to counter was just kinda free floating. Unless your desperate don't come here. We didn't even stay our second night we packed up and left once all the roaches started coming out.

Stayed 1 night

There were dead roaches on the floor; dirty towels laid out for guests; no tv service; the bed spreads had multiple cigarette burns; the room(s) spelled strongly of cat urine; the front office spelled like straight septic tank waste; the furniture furniture was raggedy and outdated... I feared for my life! I came in town for a wedding and didn't want to inconvenience my daughter, who lives in the on campus apartments at SSU. When my daughter saw the conditions of this place, she flat out told me that I wasn't staying here!... I went and stayed with her, instead. Beware of this place! If you have to stay here, bring bulks of Lysol, plastic gloves, face masks, and Febreeze!... Be on the lookout for chalk outlines. I could have sworn that some people may have died up in there! This is not a very inviting place to stay!

the front desk man, had trouble processing the people who were there before me to check in, LANGUAGE BARRIER, when I finally got my room, it was quite a way from the front entrance. I was greeted by large roaches, no toilet paper and other things which would make me sick if i stayed in the room, i immediately killed a large roach with the almost empty toilet paper roll and took it up to the front desk along with the video of the roach crawling before i killed it. the second staff immediately came from behind the counter and said "follow me", he took me to a room on the upper level, that was clean and quier and very different from the original room.

My wife and I booked here in early November. When we checked in, there was a lot of extra activity in the parking lot and in front of other rooms. While I was unloading our bags, I actually got to witness a drug deal happen in front of the room next to ours. We immediately loaded our things and found a different hotel to stay at. During the week we were in Savannah, there was at least twice the police were called to this property. We found out from a local friend that it was because of an assault and a shooting. The manager/owner refused a refund and I was unable to get one through this website. I personally carry a concealed handgun and did not feel same at this hotel.
