This hotel was a huge disappointment. For over $300 per night during our two-night stay, I expected much better service and overall quality at The DeSoto Hotel. We booked through Expedia, but the listing didn’t mention that all balconies are nailed shut. This is misleading and deceptive. People with claustrophobia or who simply need fresh air would have never chosen this hotel. We booked a “Balcony Room,” but the listing was changed to “City View.” The balcony was shut, and from the third floor, we couldn’t see the city at all. We asked to change floors, but the front desk refused. We spent hours trying to fix things with the hotel and Expedia instead of enjoying our vacation. We requested a fridge—a basic amenity at any 4-star hotel—but didn’t get one. We also had to wait for a baby crib. Meanwhile, our baby’s food couldn’t be stored properly. This is a major inconvenience for a family. We requested compensation for these problems. The hotel staff said they couldn’t help since we booked through Expedia. Expedia’s daily emails just say “your case is being reviewed,” with no resolution. It’s unacceptable. Hotels selling through third-party sites should be required to provide accurate information. Otherwise, it’s fraud and deception. There are many better hotels in this price range in downtown Savannah or on River Street. Don’t choose The DeSoto Hotel.

The hotel did not provide body lotion or toilet soap; it provided liquid soap which I didn't like! A big cockraoch crawled across the restaurant floor once! The restaurant bungled our breakfast order once, and the long and the short of it is that it cost us a bit more -- not asking for refund or anything! The coffee shop and front desk receptionists were not all that friendly! All in all, it is a good place!
