7-Days that Felt Like 7-Months!

We were so very happy when we first opened the door to this loft and found that it looked even better than the great photos on the website. It provided everything we could possibly need in the kitchen and the appliances are superb. The loft was fabulous - spacious, bright, comfortable, very clean, lots of storage, and simple to maintain control of our stuff. Having 2 bathrooms made this an ideal place for us especially when our daughter, son-in-law, and 2 young grandkids stopped by for an overnight visit from Atlanta - there was plenty of room. The "feel" of this loft provided comfort, relaxation, and a good night's sleep after each active day.
The location is perfect and parking was easier than we expected. The area gets a little noisy on Friday and Saturday night, but it's just people having a good time so it never bothered us at all! City Market is nearby and we enjoyed the outdoor entertainment and variety of shops and food. We had dinner at Paula Deen's one night and after a short walk back to the loft, we actually had to take the elevator instead of the usual stairs - great food! We had lunch at Uncle Bubba's Oyster House on Whitemarsh Island and treated ourselves to the best dessert ever - Key Lime Pie. We walked all over the city that night to burn off the billion-calories! The Riverfront is just a short walk. There is a public elevator to get down to the river just to the right of the entrance to the Hyatt on Bay St., or plenty of stairs if you prefer.
We highly recommend one of the Trolley Tours to learn the city layout and enjoy the beauty and history of Savannah. The Savannah Visitors Center provides tons of information and is well worth a stop. We took advantage of the free river taxi (recommended by the Visitors Center) that takes you on a 20-minute jaunt starting at the Hyatt, across and up the river stopping at 2 other hotels and ending back at the Hyatt...long enough to rest your feet and enjoy great city views and a nice, cool summer breeze. We spent time on the beach at Tybee Island, journeyed to Hilton Head Island, Beaufort, SC, and spent an afternoon at Hunting Island which has a nice, uncrowded beach, and is part of a Wildlife preserve - all just a short drive from Savannah. So much to see and do in town - museums, art exhibits, parks, good food, quaint coffee shops, etc.
It was a great vacation and this loft was a perfect place to stay. We will return!!
