Hotel Bardo Savannah
4.6/559 Reviews
Historic Savannah
I was looking forward to my last minute, long weekend away, treating myself to what I had hoped would be a relaxing stay with excellent service. Sadly it was anything but that. I arrived on Sat, 9/31 around 2 pm. My room wasn't ready, which was totally fine as check in was at 4 so I changed and went to the pool. It was insanely packed with a ton of kids. The water looked cloudy and uninviting due to the number of people there. I then could not get service either at a table in the bar area or at a lounge despite seeing at least a half a dozen servers around and trying to waive them down. After waiting about 10 minutes, I finally went up to the bar and placed an order. But this was only after someone who came in after me was able to place and receive drinks. I returned to my lounge and a woman and her two kids sat next to me. Within 90 seconds or less, they had menus, waters, and an order placed. I was finally able to flag a server down and requested a menu, which she did bring over. However, she never returned to take a drink or food order. So I had to return to the bar to place an order. When I was brought my food, they gave me no flatware or napkins. I was just dumbfounded at the lack of service. I finally called the front desk around 4:20 as I hadn't received a call letting me know my room was ready and it was. So I went and fully checked in; however, the employee did not tell me about any of the amenities—nothing about cofee/pastries in the lobby bar in the morning, nothing about the complimentary car service for the area, nothing. When I asked about the spa, she said, ”Well, did you see someone down there?” No offer to call, no ”go see xyz, they should be able to take care of you. I'll call and let them know you're coming.” Nothing. I did return to the pool on Sunday evening around 6, in the hopes of some quiet and sunshine. I met/chatted with a very nice couple from Norway. However, when the server brought them a round of drinks, she never asked me if I wanted anything. I felt like I had a sign over my head that said, ”No matter what, IGNORE ME!” My room was a junior suite and on the first floor, #101. If you value sleeping past 6:30 am, do NOT stay in this room. It is right on the other side of the valet stand and across the hall from some sort of work/staff room. I was woken up each morning with staff talking outside my room at 6:30 am and 7 am both mornings. Not to mention the constant slamming of doors. When I checked out, I was sure the person would ask me how my stay was. That is pretty standard at every hotel I've ever stayed at. Not here! Nothing. Nada. Again, I couldn't believe it. I feel like I've gotten better service at a $125/a night hotel compared to this one, which was $500/night. The ONLY redeeming factor of this hotel was Omar, Victoria, and Nikki in the spa. (Hence two stars instead of one.) Omar was filling in for the weekend down there, but he and Victoria bent over backwards to fit me in for a massage. My therap
SpringHill Suites Savannah Downtown/Historic District
3.8/5107 Reviews
Historic Savannah
The hotel is located on the edge of the historic district, so it is a quick 10-15 minute walk to either River Street or even Forsyth Park. Even the standard suites are larger than most other similar properties. The beds were comfortable and the linens and towels were above average. All employees from the front desk to the breakfast servers and cleaning staff were very pleasant and friendly. Rated lower in the facility category as the outside landscaping by the sidewalks was **** filled and over grown. This really detracted from the exterior appearance. The fitness was large and has a good amount of cardio equipment but only had one, torn workout bench, no area/mats for core work and the hand weights were missing all 20lb and 25lb pairs. There should be other strength training options. The breakfast food options were presented in an attractive manner with good over all quality.
The DeSoto
4/5105 Reviews
Historic Savannah
As a Savannah local, we can’t say enough about the Desoto and its staff. We evacuated from the islands for Hurricane Ian and were fortunately granted a safe stay-cation in our beautiful city. We loved that the hotel was pet friendly so we could bring our sweet pup, Miss Lady, with us. She had a wonderful time as the staff and guests were most attentive. Our room was lovely and well appointed. The hotel itself is beautiful, has great onsite amenities, and frankly, you can’t beat its central location. Walk either direction along Bull Street and you are right where you want to be. Thank you Mitch, Becky, and all of the spectacular hospitality team at the Desoto. Highly recommend!
Forsyth Park Inn
4.5/5102 Reviews
Historic Savannah
The location is perfect. We parked the car and walked everywhere. The husband and wife team who work there were a big part of the charm. The house is historical and has a warmth and charm that makes you feel you are in the old south. The breakfasts were delicious and they were very gracious about accommodating my gluten intolerance. My husband got to enjoy the evening parlour snacks of bread pudding and pineapple upside down cake. Thanks to the very talented on-site chef. The evening cocktail and hors d’oeuvres were a lovely touch. We partook both nights and had lovely conversations with the staff and other guests. We will be back in the future.
River Street Inn
4.3/5103 Reviews
Historic Savannah
Wow, how to begin. The hotel and rooms are quite beautiful and the never ending view along the river with the almost constant movement of gigantic ships, is mesmerized. The location is also perfect with enough restaurants and shops within close proximity that you can find plenty to keep occupied even on the occasional rainy day. Now, with all that said, a caveat to any travelers wanting any semblance of rest. The second floor rooms are pure nightmare. There appears to be some sort of a supply room on that floor. The staff likes to use it for rather loud gossip and partying and when not in use by the staff, there apparently is a bowling league practice in there! The noise from tables and chairs and dishes being moved around at times even late into the night is just aggregating! The walls offer absolutely NO help in reducing the racket. Would we return to River Street Inn again? YES! As a matter of fact, we can't wait to return but, only if we would be guaranteed a room on the 4th or 5th floor!
Embassy Suites by Hilton Savannah Historic District

My friends and I received excellent service from Thursday through Sunday. The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating. Names worthy of mentioning are Tania, Bill, James, Avion, Blue, and Meko. It was customer service at its best. Lastly, the hotel is conveniently located in the heart of historic Savannah. A hot made to order breakfast was offered each morning. Parking with ease was conveniently located across from the hotel. I highly recommend this hotel.
