The Alida, Savannah, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

We stayed at Alida with my family around Christmas holidays for one night. Being Titanium with Marriott, I used points for free nights, otherwise, it is too pricey. This is pretty cool and interesting place, enjoyed tasteful decorations and attractive common areas. The service is generally friendly and cheerful, but slightly uneven. Location is quite convenient, riverfront, next to JW Marriott. Quite exciting Rooftop bar with the great views, cozy and positive vibes. Rooms were spacious, with two king beds, and nice bathrooms, minimalistic and spotlessly clean. We didn't like the design, it was sort of silly location for the closet, and it caused inconvenience (there were 3 of us). Breakfast and coffee were vastly overpriced, we had complimentary breakfast for 2 people included, but i

Corporate dinner: I don’t think we can say enough about how fabulous our event was. Jessica was excellent to work with and very responsive. On the morning of our dinner, I stopped by unannounced just to get the lay of the land, and Lucas was available to give us a great tour, showing us the best way to access the rooftop venue. During the event, the bartender and the servers all did wonderful jobs. Food on the buffet was constantly refreshed. I received many compliments on the food. I saw someone go back to the buffet for a second (maybe third) plate full of only mash potatoes. My boss and I thought the chicken and steak were especially cooked to perfection. It was especially nice to mingle on the terrace after eating. |The overall consensus was we would certainly return. Members of our gr

It seems like the little touches were given big focus at this property and it made all of the difference. It feels like a small boutique hotel with lots of charm, but offers all of the amenities of a large property. The location is great - we walked everywhere from here easily. The staff was noticeably friendly, from the servers at the rooftop bar to the restaurant, the front desk and even management. We loved the water nook and are now thinking we need sparkling water on tap at home:). We enjoyed the use of a suite upgrade to stay in the Designer Suite. We didn't have time to use the bikes but loved that they were offered - next time! The gym was great and we used it daily but it was never too crowded - all of the equipment you could want and space to use it. The pool was great and

TLDR: great location, nice (but not spectacular) property, room issues, extra fees. Hotel is trying to be higher-end than it is. Would not stay there again. Nice property at a great location, but a few items soured the experience. First off, they charge a pretty significant resort fee (which is a particular pet peeve of mine) and although they provide an $18 drink credit, it's tough to use. The TV in our room has several areas with dead and permanently purple pixels, not drastic but definitely noticeable. Our shower had a leak which flooded the bathroom every time we used it. I mentioned the room issues at checkout and the response was pretty dismissive. Our biggest issue, however, was that we booked the Alida for New Year's with the plan that we would spend New Year's Eve at their

Good looking hotel, but, very disappointed at the hotel not getting a few basics right for business travelers. Getting a quick hot shower in the morning was a challenge. They don’t seem to have a big enough boiler/heater or storage. It does get warm if you wait enough. But doesn’t last long. The rooms don’t come with ironing boards and irons (but this is a quick fix, their service is great bringing it to the room). No water bottles in the room, they do have empty bottles that you can fill downstairs at the water station. Marriott disappointed me here with the basics. How can you have a 4 star hotel without a good boiler? Service was great, ambience was great but need the basic functionally too.
