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 historic hotel in the middle of the historic district. Neat area for Christmas Eve. Our 4th time to Savannah over a 15 year span. First time at Christmas and will be a nice memory. Only slept here 1 night so really cannot comment on a true stay. The only disappointment was no fire pit as shown on expedi. Informed hotel they need to update photos and descriptions.

Older hotel. Only double and King beds. Bathroom water smelled like sulfur (which may be all of Savannah). No microwave or mini fridge. Wasn't a deal breaker but just an observation. Lobby was very nice!

Very nice unique hotel with a historical boutique vibe. Good location and close walk to all the major attractions. The only issue we had was a very odd paranormal moment late at night. My girlfriend saw a shadowy figure walk past her in the dark twice before bed time. I myself did not see it but I did hear some strange sounds. But after further review we did find out this hotel has a history of hauntings.. but apparently that’s a Savannah thing. Do what this information what you will. Other than that great town to check out! :)
