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.

Make sure you know that there’s no parking in the hotel, except for valet parking and it is $45 per night. Bring your own pillows if you don’t like tall pillows that will hurt your neck. Other than that it is a nice hote in the heart of historical Savannah.

$45 a night is pretty messed up. I have stayed all over the world and this is about a pricey as it gets for hotel parking. I have paid less in NYC. You guys aren’t a 5 star hotel so taking advantage of your guest isn’t very cool.

The parking situation is terrible. The website says you can book a park and stay package and parking is complimentary. If you book through a 3rd party it is $45.00 a day. The valet parking garage is connected to the hotel. Why wouldnt you let you clients use that for free? The valet guys at check in were awesome. The room did smell musty which isnt a big deal. The shower was a major issue. The water stinks. Its really bad. The shower would make this loud moaning sound, the water pressure would droo and become ice cold for a couple of second then super hot and then back to normal. This happened about every 2 minutes. The bathroom sink wouldnt drain either and maintenance had to come fix it. The bathroom amenities were the quality of a 2 star hotel at best. For the price there are several better options in my opinion in historic Savanah. Betty the concierge is a real gem! She helped us with dinner reservations and gave us some great places to visit and made the experience wonderful! This could be a really nice hotel if some attention to detail and some property issues were addressed. Not a 4 star hotel at all right now.
