Savannah Getaway: Days Inn & Suites I-95 Luxury Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! We're diving headfirst into the tangled, glorious, and sometimes questionable world of the Savannah Getaway: Days Inn & Suites I-95 Luxury Awaits! (And yes, I'm using that name, because, well, that's what we're dealing with!). Let's be honest, "luxury awaits" in the same sentence as "Days Inn & Suites I-95" is like saying your grandpa's got the moves of a TikTok star. But hey, expectations can be a funny thing… and let's find out what this place is really like.
First things first: Accessibility & Getting In The Door (and Out, Hopefully! )
Okay, so I'm not in a wheelchair myself (thank the gods), but I'm all for inclusivity. And Savannah Getaway does list "Facilities for disabled guests", which is a good start. I hope they’re actually accessible, and it’d be nice if the online description went into more detail, like do they have ramps, elevators, and appropriate bathroom accommodations? That’s important. I see they have elevators. This place has got to be pretty good when it comes to accessibility for what it is.
The Tech Stuff: Wifi, Baby! (or Lack Thereof)
Right, because let's be real, in the modern age, Wi-Fi is oxygen. And the good news? FREE WI-FI IN ALL THE ROOMS! (And yes, they felt the need to shout that, so I will too.) Plus, there's Wi-Fi in public areas. You can’t beat that. It looks like the internet situation is solid. I'm thinking of all the Insta-stories I could post from the pool (more on that later).
Things to Do: Beyond the Interstate?
Okay, so "Savannah Getaway" should have some ties to Savannah, right? That's kind of the whole point, isn't it? Let's be real: this is the Days Inn on I-95. So, technically one could probably just look at the road and be entertained. The listing doesn't really hype the in-hotel things to do - there is a pool, which I'm going to guess is outdoor (more on that, too). There's the usual list of "things to do" in the area. You’re here to see Savannah, so hopefully you go to Savannah.
The Relax Zone: Can You Actually Unwind Here?
I mean, "Luxury Awaits!"… so maybe. Here’s the (kinda thin) list of what the hotel offers for chill time: A swimming pool, period. Maybe pool-side lounging? I'll take what I can get. Maybe this hotel can actually give you some peace and quiet to unwind. Let's hope the pool is clean and refreshing, and not filled with screaming kids at 7 AM. shudders
Cleanliness & Safety: Seriously, Is It Safe?
Okay, this is where my inner germaphobe kicks in. I’ve been a bit obsessed about hygiene lately. Good news: Days Inn seems to be trying. The mention of, "Anti-viral cleaning products," "Daily disinfection in common areas," "Rooms sanitized between stays," "Hand sanitizer," "Safe dining setup," "Staff trained in safety protocol," and "Sterilizing equipment" all seem… promising. They're taking it seriously to avoid nasty germs. The "Hygiene certification" sounds great, and the "Cashless payment service" is a nice touch. Extra points for the individual wrapped food options; though, I'm also thinking… the amount of single-use plastic this could generate is a bit concerning. Just a thought for the eco-warriors out there.
And let’s be real – a "Doctor/nurse on call"? I hope you don't need it, but it's comforting to know it's there. The "First aid kit" is also a solid addition.
The Food Situation: Will You Survive on Breakfast Alone?
Alright, the crucial question: what can you eat here? This is where things get interesting. Apparently, they offer: "Asian breakfast," "Asian cuisine in restaurant," "Breakfast [buffet]," "Breakfast service," "Buffet in restaurant," "Coffee/tea in restaurant," "Coffee shop," "Desserts in restaurant," "International cuisine in restaurant," "Poolside bar," "Restaurants," "Salad in restaurant," "Snack bar," "Soup in restaurant," "Vegetarian restaurant," and "Western breakfast," "Western cuisine in restaurant." That's a lot of options for a Days Inn! The breakfast buffet might be the only thing that's keeping you from running to the nearest Waffle House at 6 AM. Fingers crossed the coffee is strong and the bacon is crispy.
Services & Conveniences: The Perks (Or Not)
Okay, let's run down the practical stuff. "Air conditioning in public area" – essential in Savannah's humidity. "Concierge" – a nice touch if you need help navigating the city. "Daily housekeeping"… yay for clean sheets! "Elevator" – essential for me, unless you are really in shape. They have a convenience store, a doorman, dry cleaning and laundry service. The hotel also offers facilities for disabled guests, and a safety deposit boxes, and a terrace! It seems like all the basics of service are well-covered.
For the Kids: Good Luck!
They do claim to be "Family/child friendly" and mention "Babysitting service," and "Kids meal." So, if you’re traveling with little ones, that’s a plus. But, it says nothing about a playground. It’s a hotel on the I-95.
The Room Itself: What's It Really Like in There?

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your perfectly curated travel blog entry. This is real life – Savannah, Days Inn edition. And let me tell you, it's already getting messy.
Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Savannah North I-95 Port Wentworth (GA): The Itinerary of Chaos
Day 1: Arrival…and Immediate Regret (Just Kidding…Mostly)
- Time: 3:00 PM – Arrival. Oh, sweet Jesus, already? I swear the drive from… wherever I was is just one long, slow-motion negotiation with my own bladder.
- Location: Days Inn Lobby, that beige-carpeted portal to… well, budget accommodation. The air conditioning is roaring, battling the Georgia humidity. You can smell the faint scent of chlorine from the pool, mixed with… something vaguely chemical-adjacent. Hope that's just the cleaning supplies talking.
- Mood: Mildly optimistic. Okay, let's be honest: mostly exhausted. Gotta get the key, find the room, and hopefully not discover any unexpected roommates (cockroaches, I’m looking at you).
- The Great Room Hunt: Found the room. It's… functional. See, I have this thing about hotel curtains. They're never quite right. Always a millimeter too short, letting in a sliver of light that mocks your attempts at daytime shut-eye. The bedspread? Let's just say the pattern is aggressively…floral.
- The Anecdote: Attempted to unpack. Immediately tripped over the overflowing suitcase, scattering toiletries across the already suspect carpet. My favorite tiny bottle of hand lotion now sports a new, unsavory aroma. Lovely.
- Dinner: Okay, so I've been driving for hours. I need FOOD. Drove for about 10 minutes, and end up at a place called "The Waffle House." Now, I grew up in the Midwest. I know Waffle House. This wasn't the Waffle House. This was a Waffle House, and it was bustling. It was gloriously, unapologetically greasy. The hash browns? Scattered, smothered, and covered (which is exactly how I wanted them). The server? A woman named Agnes, who told me "Bless your heart" approximately 8 times and called me "Honey." I'm officially in the South!
Day 2: Exploring (Or Attempting To)…and My Car Doesn't Want To
- Time: 8:00 AM - Wake up. The curtains failed me. This is a crime against slumber.
- Location: The breakfast "area." Air freshener is doing its best, but the aroma of lukewarm coffee and congealing scrambled eggs permeates the air. This is not a five-star breakfast buffet, let’s be honest. They have pre-packaged muffins (which I’m pretty sure have been sitting there since last week), but I'm holding out for real food.
- Mood: Cautiously optimistic. After the Waffle House, the world seems to sparkle a little.
- The Great Savannah Quest Begins: Aiming for the historic district, but getting lost in the suburban sprawl of Savannah is apparently a rite of passage. The GPS seems to want me to drive through several houses.
- The Anecdote: My car, bless its metal heart, chose today to develop a mysterious clicking sound every time I turn the steering wheel. It sounds like a tiny, angry squirrel. I'm pretty sure it's judging my driving. And on the way, I realized I hadn't packed my sunglasses. I am doomed.
- The Meltdown at Forsyth Park (a.k.a. The Fountain of Tears): Finally, after an hour of circling, I found Forsyth Park. Gorgeous. The fountain? Stunning. The sheer number of people trying to "vibe" in the same small area? Overwhelming. I tried to take a photo, and a rogue toddler ran directly into my lens. I ended up needing to sit with my back to the sun and just…breathe. It was too much. I wanted to scream.
- Lunch: Found a charming little cafe – The Olde Pink House . It was ridiculously quaint, and the food was… well, it was good. Solid. Not life-changing, mind you, but good. The atmosphere was the real win.
Day 3: Departure. Praise Be!
- Time: Approximately 9:00 AM. - Checkout. Finally! The floral bedspread is in my rearview mirror!
- Location: The lobby. The air feels slightly less heavy with chemical smells today. Maybe they cleaned it.
- Mood: Relief. Pure, unadulterated relief.
- The Last Hurrah (Because Why Not?): A final, desperate attempt at the pool. It's lukewarm, and there's a stray plastic flamingo floating menacingly in the corner. Decided against it.
- The Reflection: Okay, it wasn't perfect. In fact, it was a bit of a mess. But that's life, right? Sometimes the GPS fails, the car clicks, and a toddler steals your lens. And sometimes, you find a Waffle House and hash browns that make it all worthwhile. Savannah, you eccentric, beautiful…slightly frustrating, city. I’ll be back. Maybe. Eventually…
- Final Thoughts: The Days Inn wasn't a Ritz-Carlton. But it was a roof, a bed, and a place to regroup. And sometimes, that's all you need. Now, where's my car keys…?
And scene! Now, don't even get me started on trying to translate Waffle House vernacular.

Savannah Getaway: Days Inn & Suites I-95 - FAQ - Prepare Yourself! (It's a Ride!)
1. Is "Luxury Awaits" really... a thing? Like, *luxury* luxury?
HA! Oh, bless your heart. Look, let's get real. "Luxury Awaits" is... well, it’s a marketing term. My expectations were seriously adjusted after seeing the *exterior* of the Days Inn. It's not The Ritz. Think... more like, "Luxury: You Get a Clean Towel." (Which, let's be honest, is a solid win in some travel scenarios.) I'm not saying it's *awful*. The beds were surprisingly comfy, actually. Maybe the "luxury" is the absence of bedbugs? You know, setting the bar LOW and then exceeding it slightly is a fantastic strategy. I'd argue that.
2. The Pool! Is it as Instagrammable as it looks?
Okay, the pool. This is where things get...interesting. Picture this: You've been driving for six hours. The sun is melting your brain. You crave a refreshing dip. You *see* the pool...through the slightly grubby windows of the lobby. It has a *vibe*. Let's call it "Poolside Mystery Tour."
I will say this; the water itself was relatively clean. My main issue? The tiny, TINY pool towels. Like, child-sized. I'm not a tall woman, and I was almost entirely exposed. One woman was using a bath sheet she'd brought in from her room which was impressive.
I'd say it's Instagrammable *if* you're going for a "rustic charm" aesthetic, or "post-apocalyptic pool party." Don’t expect a shimmering, turquoise wonderland. Just... temper your expectations and pack your own towel if you like a modicum of dignity.
3. What about the Breakfast? Is it a "full hot breakfast" kind of deal?
Ah, breakfast. This is where the Days Inn shines...sort of. It's not a gourmet spread, let's be clear. But for free? It’s a godsend. I'd call it a "hot-ish" breakfast, at best. There was definitely some scrambled egg product involved, plus waffles fresh off the iron, pastries that appear to have had a long and storied life, and cereal. The coffee? Well. Let's just say it's *functional*. It'll wake you up, but it won't win any awards. I did, however, appreciate the self-serve waffle station. Never underestimate the power of freshly made waffle.
My suggestion? Lower your standards and eat accordingly. Think of it as a free fuel-up for your Savannah adventures. And sneak a banana or two for later. You'll thank me.
4. Is the location convenient for exploring Savannah?
YES. Sort of. It's on I-95. That's your MAIN advantage. You're close enough to downtown Savannah to make it a decent base for exploring. But NOT walkable. You're gonna need a car, or a ride-sharing service. The traffic can get nasty, especially during peak hours. Seriously, factor that into your travel time. And parking downtown? Good luck. It's like a competitive sport. So, yes, convenient *for the highway*, less convenient for actual sightseeing. Savannah itself is beautiful, though. It's worth the extra travel time.
5. The Customer Service: Are the staff friendly?
Okay, here’s the thing about customer service. It's a crapshoot. It depends on the day, the shift, and how early (or late) in the day you’re arriving. I had *one* absolutely delightful person at the front desk who went above and beyond to help me when I had a minor booking issue. Seriously, she needed hazard pay! But I also witnessed another guest being... well, let's say "less than thrilled" about something. My advice? Go in with kindness, and maybe a little patience. They're dealing with a LOT of people, and sometimes, the pressure... shows. And if you ARE having an issue? Be polite, be firm, and maybe bring a small box of chocolates. Just kidding...kinda. It can’t hurt!
6. Any tips for making the most of the experience?
Okay, here's the real tea. If you're expecting luxury, as I mentioned, adjust those expectations to the *nadir*. You aren't there for the hotel; you're there for Savannah! Here are my golden rules:
- Pack essentials: Your own pool towel, snacks (especially if you're traveling with kids, or are a hangry person), and maybe some antibacterial wipes. Just in case.
- Plan your adventures: Research the best things to see and do in Savannah *before* you arrive.
- Embrace the chaos: Look at it as an adventure. It's a story you can tell later.
- Be kind to the staff: They're probably tired and underpaid. A little kindness can go a long way. And who knows, you might get upgraded to a better room!
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Savannah is AMAZING. Focus on that. The charming squares, the history, the food... oh, the food! The Days Inn is just a place to crash before the real fun begins!
7. Would you stay there again?
Honestly? Probably. Look, I'm pragmatic. It served its purpose. I needed a place to crash *near I-95*. It was clean enough. It wasn't *horrible*. And it was cheap. So, if affordability and convenience are your top priorities, and you're not expecting the Waldorf Astoria, then yes, I'd do it again. But, let's be clear, I'd pack my own towels, and I'd probably skip the swimming altogether. And I'd goBoutique Inns
