Brian

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

Good location, above average hotel
Nice hotel, centrally located. Friendly staff, food in restaurant was good. Dinged for a few minor annoyances such as poor water pressure in shower, (also just lukewarm on a couple mornings) and spotty servicing of rooms. Overall nice hotel and would recommend.

Beautiful but thin, very thin walls.
Beautiful inside, outside looks like it could use a power wash. Close to walk everywhere in the area. The only downside, which was major is the thin walls. Omg, we heard regular volume conversations next door. I could hear their sink and toilet flushing, coughing and again regular tone conversation.
