Guest Reviews & Ratings
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. The staff really stood out with their exceptional service, particularly Matt, Gabby, and Ashley, who made my stay so memorable. The breakfast was a highlight with delicious options, and the historic design of the property was beautiful. While the location was convenient and quiet, I wish the spa services had more availability. Overall, it felt luxurious, but it can get a bit crowded during peak times.
My stay at the hotel was remarkable, thanks to the exceptional service from the staff, particularly Matt, Gabby, and Ashley, who were eager to help and made my experience truly special. The breakfast was a standout, with a wide array of delicious offerings that I looked forward to each morning. The historic design of the property added a unique charm, and I appreciated the warm and inviting atmosphere throughout my visit. However, I would have loved to see more unique dining options outside of breakfast.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel with its gorgeous historic design and a warm atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The breakfast offerings were simply outstanding, and I loved how attentive the staff was, especially during the fun evening champagne toast. While the location was convenient for exploring Savannah, the noise from nearby activities could be a minor distraction for light sleepers.
My stay at this hotel was wonderful overall! The location was conveniently within walking distance to major attractions in Savannah, making it easy to explore the area. The historic design of the property added a unique charm, and I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious breakfast offerings, especially the shrimp and grits. One downside was that, although the outdoor spaces were lovely, I felt they could have used a bit more maintenance. Also, I found the valet service to be a bit slow during peak times.
I had a wonderful experience at this hotel! The historic design is breathtaking, merging classical charm with modern comforts. The breakfast was a highlight, especially the shrimp and grits-so delicious! While the location was convenient, tucked away in a tranquil neighborhood, the Wi-Fi could be improved as the signal was a bit weak in my room.
