Best hotel for limited mobility.

My husband can walk but not long distances. We will be there for two days in February. Will be using hop on/hop off trolley. Like to be close to restaurants and bars. Where do you suggest? Price range up to $300 a night. Breakfast a plus. Parking required (extra charge is fine)!

For visitors with limited mobility, staying centrally in Savannah’s Historic District is ideal. This allows you to minimize walking distances while still being close to restaurants, bars, and trolley stops. Early February is a quieter time, which helps with accessibility at busy squares and attractions.

Here are some hotels that fit your criteria (up to $300/night, breakfast available, parking available for a fee, close to restaurants and hop-on/hop-off trolley stops):

  • Planters Inn – Located on Reynolds Square, this historic hotel has easy access to the trolley lines and is surrounded by restaurants and bars. They offer accessible rooms and valet parking (extra charge). Breakfast options are available.
  • Hampton Inn Savannah – Historic District – This hotel is convenient for travelers with mobility concerns, as it is close to the River Street area and trolley stops. Free hot breakfast is included, and parking is available for a fee. They also have accessible rooms.
  • Courtyard Savannah Downtown/Historic District – Positioned near City Market, it’s easy to access restaurants and trolley stops. Rooms are modern and accessible, parking is available onsite, and they offer a breakfast option (often a buffet or grab-and-go).

Additional tips for your stay:

  • Request an ADA-accessible room if your husband needs features like grab bars, roll-in showers, or minimal walking distance from elevators.
  • Consider calling the hotel in advance to confirm proximity to trolley stops and any assistance they can provide for luggage or mobility needs.
  • The Historic District is very walkable, but many streets are brick; using the trolley or nearby shuttles reduces walking for meals and sightseeing.

Overall, for comfort and central access, Planters Inn is highly recommended for a historic feel and minimal walking, while the Hampton Inn provides a modern, practical option with free breakfast and accessible amenities.
