Exceptional choice in the heart of Savannah

This was the 4th time we’ve stayed at the DeSoto. And by leaps and bounds the best! The hotel has always been spotless! Cleanliness has never been an issue. But this time the staff was simply amazing! And the Buffalo Bayou cafe had evening hours, whatcha made it so easy to run down and grab a snack, of grab something after coming in from being out and about in Savannah. The past few times we stayed, we had to walk to the convenient store. We had most of our meals at the hotel. Both Proof and Provision and 1540 Room. Food and staff were all amazing. But mostly GJ at 1540 Room for breakfast. She is the epitome of a Southen Belle! Her hospitality is unmatched, a true asset to the DeSoto. And Mitch, general manager of the DeSoto. His hospitality is equally unmatched! He went above and beyond to make us feel special. We were there for our elopement and short honeymoon. And he went out of his way to deliver champagne and a hand written note of congratulations to us. We know he has to be a very busy man, and yo go out of his way for us like that means everything! He even referred to us as “DeSoto Family!” We will continue to make the DeSoto our hotel choice when visiting our what we consider, our second home Savannah.

Disappointing

We booked a deluxe king but were put in a standard double room instead. We were told by the front desk that we’d be compensated for the downgrade but have not received anything despite multiple follow ups. The rooms are not four-star quality and felt more like a budget hotel. Also, the air conditioning in our room did not work and housekeeping did not come once during our entire weekend stay.

Savannah is incredibly beautiful, but from our experience, we can only assume that the people are even more so. Can’t imagine staying anywhere else!

The location is nice. Unfortunately, they charge $45/day for valet parking, which would be fine if it didn't take them 20 -50 minutes to retrieve your vehicle when you want it. They also were proud to give me a room with a balcony but did not mention that the door was sealed shut.
