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.

This property deserves between a 1 and 2 star rating. I will start with the positive. The restaurant named 1540 on property deserves 5 stars! Great food and service. The location of the hotel is also great. Now with the reality of the rest of the stay. I arrived and waited at least10 minutes in the valet line. Valet is the only option for $45 per night. The valet stood at the stand not coming to customer serve anyone pulling up. So I got my luggage out and went to him. He filled out a card for the car and I carried my luggage up 10 stairs to the door-the only way in. Then I go to check in and the women at the desk are busy talking. Please keep in mind I had pre registered by loading my credit card and drivers license into the portal I got SMS that day. Basically, saves no time. Once they noticed a couple of us waiting I showed my DL again. The room was OK except for the black mold and rust on the ceiling of the shower. Upon checkout I hand my key packet to the desk attendant and she asks what room I was in. I tell her the number and she asks WHAT? I say again. She of course could have looked in the key card packet. She then asks how was my stay……here it is. Never again at the Desoto. I travel all the time and this is the first 2 rating I have ever given! Ugh.

First thing first, check in was fast and easy. The room and bathroom needed to be updated. The shower would loose pressure and hot water, and the plumbing would make a noise when taking a shower. Says queen beds, but they are full size.. and parking is $45 a night. So overall, I would not stay again.
