Such a great experience will be back!
Amie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice, quiet and cute B&B with nice design details and super friendly staff. Not quite the lux spot the listing made it out to be (more like 4 stars than 5) but still a really solid choice if you’re looking for a B&B.

Very nice .
Pamela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Always quaint and comfortable. The only difference this visit is there was a change in ownership and they’ve gotten rid of their chefs, so the breakfast isn’t homemade nor are the tea bites.
Allyson, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely place to stay. Parking is not at the property which could be challenging for some. We did not receive the Expedia VIP gift…not a big deal. Colby was very efficient and pleasant.
David, 1-night trip

Nice place

Enjoyed our stay here very much, breakfast was a little on the vegan side which is fine but would have enjoyed some protein with it. Coffee was excellent and staff very friendly

Nice historic hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. The afternoon tea is a nice touch.
carol, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was nice. It was more like a bed and breakfast than a boutique hotel. Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected by the description. It was a little pricey for what it was, in my opinion. The location was perfect because I wanted to stay in a residential area. Savannah is easy to navigate and walkable. It’s a beautiful town.
