Checkout was at 11:00. Jason and I dressed, packed, and made our way to the lobby exactly at 11. We hit the button for the elevator and waited... and waited... and waited. Soon more people arrived and a large line began to form. The hotel was open in the middle, which allowed you to see other guests also waiting for elevators on different floors. Guests were becoming restless. Finally word spread that only one elevator was working. A few people left to find stairs, but weren't successful. Finally, the elevator arrived--it was packed with people. The guests inside the elevator nervously laughed and pretended to make room even though there clearly wasn't any. Every floor had hit the button for the elevator, so it stopped on each floor as they worked their way to the lobby. We had to wait for all guests on the top floors to make it down before the elevator would have room for us. Finally, our elevator arrived. We got in and went to the checkout counter. We asked if we could leave our car a little longer in order to get lunch. They agreed and told us how to put our luggage in our car so we wouldn't have to take it to lunch. We were instructed to go to yet another elevator (luckily one that worked and was only for the parking garage). We informed them that we needed our key in order to put our luggage away and that we'd be back later to pick it up. They agreed and told us where they parked our car. We put the luggage up and then made our way to West Bay Street to find food.
We ended up at Moon River Brewing Company, a restaurant we had eaten at numerous times before. Below are pictures of food:
Garlic and cheese fries:
After lunch, we walked back to the hotel for our car. We took the elevator to the garage once more and informed them we would be leaving. The person at the counter was someone different than before, so she wasn't aware we already had our car key. As she was about to get our key, we explained the situation and she opened the door for us to find our car ourselves--yes for no valet!
Soon we were on the open road again and heading home. Since everyone was leaving Savannah at the same time, traffic was rather busy. It was a long drive back but we made it home safe and sound, and just in time to cuddle two loving, adorable cats.
