It is a nice hotel when you walk in, but the rooms are not worth the price you pay for them. You can tell that there's not much attention to details when it comes to cleaning. We had a city view double balcony room. It was a very small room compared to others that I have stayed at. The outlet behind the bedside table was literally hanging out of the wall (I lost an earring so; we had to move it.) Their elevators are past inspection, which honestly surprised me. The view from the balcony, and the staff were the best part of the entire experience. I personally will not be going back. Simply because I can get way more for the money somewhere else and the outlet hanging from the wall.

The hotel is average. Was placed in a room next to elevator, which was quite loud. Attention to detail in rooms was lacking: temperature set at 51 degrees in winter and a piece of equipment was plugged in and laying on the floor ( presumably to freshen room/reduce odor)

Fabulous Stay
In town on part business part pleasure. First time staying here but may not stay anywhere else on future trips. The hotel was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was extremely helpful and happy to do so. From the valet, whom i did not need, but the young lady was very helpful and knowledgeable about the city, to front desk staff and coffee shop personnel. It has been a very very long time since i was this impressed with any business. The property is beautiful. I loved the fact that we could sit outside our room on the balcony and have a coffee or a drink and watch the sun rise or set. We will definitely be back.

Loved Savanna and The Desoto
First visit to Savannah with my daughter who has been away and loved our visit. Hotel is very pretty and nicely decorated for the holidays. Food was excellent and room and view from 10th floor was amazing of the city. Front desk and concierge were very helpful with information on places to see and ways to get there. Hotel is dog friendly and was nice to see all the friendly dog tails wagging. Our room did not have any dog odors so they must have certain rooms for them. First time on Savannah and if I come back I would definitely come back to The Desota.
