I really enjoyed the southern hospitality of everyone. It is a great location for all of the historic sites and right on the free bus line. Valet parking was expensive but car was safe and was quickly retrieved.

We enjoyed our stay at the DeSoto. In past trips to Savannah, we have stayed near the river. We really enjoyed this neighborhood and being close to Forsyth Park, the Squares, etc. Very welcoming and comfortable hotel. We will definitely stay at the DeSoto again when in Savannah.

Unfortunately, I have to leave an unfavorable review. My family and I stayed at the DeSoto on 11/22/24. Once we arrived we discovered there was no parking near the hotel and was charged $40 to park in the Hotel’s parking garage. The room was nothing like what was advertised. For $300 I guess I expected more. The fire alarm went off at 12am. I am unable to walk because I am disbled. We were on the 6th floor and I had to pray it was a false alarm because the elevators were shut down. My family wanted to get an early start and checked out at 5:30 am. We went to the valet’s office to get our vehicle but the person was no where to be found. We waited 30 minutes before the man working the front desk took it upon himself to get our vehicle. To finalize my experience I almost stepped in a pile of dog feces in the main lobby near the revolving door. There were several employees working near by and no one thought to pick it up. The only positive experience was Gary the valet. He took care of us when we checked in and helped me by pushing my luggage cart to our room.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of old Savannah, at the corner of historic Liberty and Bull streets, just a couple blocks and walking minutes away from Forsyth Park Fountain, major churches, historic synagogue, restaurants, parks, museums…. I stayed in a corner king room on the 12th floor (Room 1212) with direct views if the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist and the Savanna River and the bridge. The staff was nice except for a waiter in hotel’s 1540 restaurant who was unwelcoming and nasty and wouldn’t stop telling me that I was seated in a “closed section” while I explained that I requested it and was seated by the hostess in that section, so I walked away without having a dinner there. This fine hotel should not have staff like that serving the public. The room has a fridge and a microwave which was good to have and it was appreciated. I parked for one night at hotel’s valet parking but then I moved the car to a nearby garage for a cheaper option with a weekly rate if $129.00. I would recommend the DeSoto Savannah - a truly great place to stay and have fun.
