1. Drury Plaza Hotel Savannah Pooler






The Vibe
Think of this as the reliable road warrior’s favorite. It sits in Pooler, a suburban area near the airport, so you trade immediate Savannah charm for free parking, an outdoor pool, and a 9.7 in every core category except Value (9.3) and Wi-Fi (9.3). Breakfast is exceptional — and included. The staff scores tie with the best in this list.
What You Actually Get
Rooms are spacious — guests consistently call them “big.” The outdoor pool stays open for a post-road-trip dip. The on-site restaurant means you don’t have to hunt for dinner after a long drive. Parking is free, which is rare near Savannah. The fitness center is a solid bonus. Kids 18 and up get charged as adults, so check pricing carefully for families with older teens.

The Vibe
This is Savannah’s front door. Built in 1851, The Marshall House sits right on Broughton Street in the Historic District, steps from shopping and squares. The 9.7 location score is backed by an equally strong Staff score of 9.5. You’re paying for the address and the historic bones — the Value score of 8.5 reflects that parking costs extra.

Which hotels offer free cancellation?
Most properties in our list have cancellation policies that vary by room type and booking date. Properties #1 Drury Plaza, #2 Marshall House, #3 Country Inn & Suites, #4 The Bluff, #5 Foley House Inn, #6 Embassy Suites, #8 TRYP by Wyndham, #10 River Street Inn, and #12 McMillan Inn all use variable cancellation policies. We recommend checking the specific room’s terms at booking time and filtering for “free cancellation” options on the booking platform.
What’s the most walkable area for 4 Star Hotels in Savannah Georgia?
The Historic District is Savannah’s most walkable area, centered around Broughton Street, River Street, and Forsyth Park. Four star hotels in Savannah Georgia like #2 The Marshall House (Broughton Street), #5 Foley House Inn (Hull Street), #9 Olde Harbour Inn (Factors Walk), and #10 River Street Inn (East Bay Street) all sit within this core. Most Historic District addresses offer walkability scores of 9.5+, meaning you can reach 90% of Savannah’s attractions without a car.
How do I get from Savannah Airport to the Historic District hotels?
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport (SAV) is about 8 miles from the Historic District. Several options exist: rideshare ($25-$35), taxi ($30-$40), or free airport shuttle at properties like #3 Country Inn & Suites and #14 Hyatt Place Savannah Airport (though these hotels are near the airport, not the district). For Historic District hotels, we recommend booking a rideshare or rental car — most properties in the district charge $25-$38/day for parking.
What’s the best time to visit Savannah?
March through May and September through November offer the best weather in Savannah — mild temperatures (60-80°F), lower humidity, and fewer crowds than summer. March brings the Savannah Music Festival, and October features the Savannah Film Festival. Summer (June-August) is hot and humid with afternoon thunderstorms, but room rates are typically lower. Winter (December-February) is cool and quiet, ideal for exploring without crowds, though some B&Bs have limited check-in windows.
Can I check in late at any of these properties?
Yes, many properties offer late check-in options. #1 Drury Plaza accepts check-in until midnight. #4 The Bluff accepts check-in until midnight. #16 Beautiful 3Bed Townhome accepts check-in until midnight via app. #18 Oglethorpe Inn accepts check-in until 11:30 PM. However, #5 Foley House Inn checks in only until 8:30 PM, #12 McMillan Inn only until 5:00 PM, and #15 The Inn on West Liberty only until 7:00 PM. Always confirm late arrival directly with the property.
