This gargantuan hotel lacks the personality but not the price of its smaller competitors. Guests who expect the standard Westin hotel will receive it, and have access to plenty of on-site amenities and activities along the way. There's a the on-site spa as well as the resort's greens and fairways — a major perk for avid golfers. Meanwhile, all rooms include the signature Heavenly Beds and bath fixtures, iHome radios, 42-inch flat-screen TVs and Wi-Fi access. And If you're lucky, you will get a pretty sweet view of the Savannah River; previous travelers recommend asking for a room with a river view, saying the panoramas are excellent. However, on the subject of water, The Westin Savannah Harbor is separated from the downtown area by said river, so you can expect your movements to be dictated by the cross-river shuttle ferries. For some guests, that's A-OK. In addition to golf and the spa, this Westin hotel boasts an outdoor pool and several dining options. And because this hotel is part of the Marriott hotel family, Marriott Bonvoy members can earn and use points here.
