Reviews and Ratings
The hotel captures the essence of 'Old Savannah' in a clean and charming way, despite some room size discrepancies. The service was exceptional, setting a higher standard compared to other places we visited on our trip. The location is unbeatable for exploring downtown Savannah's historical district, with only minor eerie encounters. Overall, a solid choice for a Savannah stay.
Staying at this historical hotel was a delightful experience. The room was elegantly decorated with ample natural light, but the uneven flooring could pose a challenge for those with mobility issues. The service provided by the staff was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. The central location allowed easy access to all the key attractions. The dining experience, though nice, fell short of expectations given the hotel's reputation. Overall, a charming stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great experiences. The rooms were spacious, clean, and historically charming, providing a comfortable and tastefully decorated environment, though the noise level was a drawback. The service was delightful overall, although there was a minor hiccup with the garage access. The location was exceptional, right in the heart of Savannah's historic district, despite some nearby construction noise. The dining options were a bit hit or miss, and the facilities met my needs.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were nice and spotless, but unfortunately, mine did not have a view and was by the elevator. The service, however, was extremely helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, right in the historic district with everything within walking distance. The dining experience was average, not great. The facilities were good, but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel has perfectly appointed and comfortable rooms, overlooking the internal restaurant area with wine, cheese, and delightful music. However, the room was a bit small and in a less-than-desirable location in the back, overlooking the a/c units.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were cool with many original features, but the space felt a bit cramped for the price. The service was outstanding, with knowledgeable and friendly staff. The location was ideal for exploring, within walking distance to attractions, yet there were some mixed opinions about the dining experience.
