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.

There is no free parking for guest - you either pay for valet - $45 or take your chance in the street. No one to help with bags, the carpet in the banquet hall needs to clean - it has a smell. The room flooring was damaged, the bedding was discoloured. Then there was the sirens from the road and traffic that kept me up for most of the night. Improvement needed in these areas

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.

Centrally located. Pleasant/helpful staff. But the shower was ackward, we had an evacuation at 12:30 in the morning that was supposedly "nothing" but we got no explanation or assurance that nothing was wrong and after hurrying down 5 flights of stairs in the middle of the night, and back, no one could sleep. Trash can in the bathrrom was rusted.

The DeSoto is just what its description says it is. The hotel was beautiful, with modernized decor, and there was even a pianist playing in the main lobby area upon arrival. The balcony rooms offer a great view of the area behind the hotel, including the pool and lounging area. There are a few unique shops within walking distance of the hotel. The dining options were satisfying, and the staff members in each area were welcoming. I'm already planning to return to this hotel for a longer stay!

It was overpriced for the condition of it.
The toilet made loud screaming sounds off and on every ten to twenty minutes. Everything was cracked and in poor condition in the bathroom.
