Nice room and hotel,although paid extra for view on main street and it was very noisy and we were on 5th flr. Also,wasn't happy had to enter shower next to toilet instead of door opening on right side by wall. Clearly it was installed backwards and we had to squeeze past toilet to get in and out. Good thing we are average sized people. We weren't reminded at check-in of free breakfast and spent money every morning at their coffee cafe. If you visit and want to sleep in,get a room in back otherwise nice.

The hard product here, the room itself, is actually pretty nice. The hotel was recently renovated, and it shows in the room. The lobby area is large, but could use some work. The real issues are the service. The hotel bugs you endlessly before check in to fill in an online pre-check. When I got to check in, the hotel staff completely ignored this. When I pointed this out to the hotel staff, I received a rude response. The one service request I made, for more pillows, was not made the first time. The hotel tries to nickel and dime you for any late or early check-in check out. The gym could seriously use some work. There was only one working treadmill, one of the exercise balls was broken, and the space is very small.

The room was clean but the bed was horrible. Didn't sleep much the got up to sit in an uncomfortable chair to keep my shoulders from hurting. The bathroom was not good. I could not open or shut the door or sitting on the toilet. The tub had chips out of it. The towel rack fell when I reached for the towel. The hot water pulsed on and off during the shower. The elevators only 1 worked. A horrible room at any price.

Great location and amenities

An amazing experience! Great staff, clean, comfortable rooms, excellent views, in walking distance of just about everything. DeSoto rocks! Nice bar, restaurant, coffee bar, etc. we will be back to try the spa next time. Side note: The pool deck could be a little larger and/or no children after 8pm. If you want to relax in the water without the noise and getting splashed by children this is not the resort pool for you! 7am-10pm the pool is full of munchkins in the summertime! I love that this hotel caters to families and couples alike, I also love kids with 3 of my own, but the hotel would do well to have a separate pool/splash pad. Rumor has it they once had a rooftop pool, not sure if this is true, but having two distinct areas would be great. The woman trying to meditate with Tai Chi probably would have appreciated a separate space as well. Still, a Savannah favorite.
