Only one person at checkin desk. The person spent over 15 minutes booking a tour for two guests, rather than checking me in. Room is loud, poorly finished and dark. Very disatisfied

It is a historic building so it has its quirks which I personally, like. The room and bathroom are spacious and comfortable. It was nice to be right on the river and very walkable to the historic district and riverfront area. The room needed a deep clean including mildew behind the caulking in the shower which may come with the wet environment of Savannah. It needs to be treated and replaced. Dusty baseboards and corners. Nothing major.

The River Street Inn is an interesting old building, with original flooring/staircases and antique charm. We had two rooms on the 3rd floor, and it seemed as though there had been some historical water damage. Both of our rooms had a pervading ‘musty’ smell, and inability to open window or run a fan. The hotel asked about our stay via text, and when told about the unpleasant odor, they didn’t offer any sort of remedy. Great views of the river, and close to a lot of the town’s best features. We loved the Cotton Exchange bar/restaurant next door, best meal of this leg of our trip. We were also thrilled by the happy hour, run by the fantastic and pleasant Brad: great spread of cheeses/crackers, fruit, delicious local beers, wine, cocktails. Brad’s happy hour was the high point of our stay here. Would stay again if rooms higher up in the building were less musty.

Over all this hotel was comfortable. The service was great. There was a slight mildew smell in the halls and my room which made me suspect that the hotel had suffered water damage in the past. Carpets in the halls and stairs need a good deep clean or replacement. Room carpet was clean. Overall: A bit worn, needs some TLC but excellent location, comfortable bed and friendly efficient staff. Valet parking team was excellent.

Everything was wonderful except we stayed on the 3rd floor and our hallway and our room smelled like mildew/mold really bad. Other than that the staff was amazing, food was delicious, hotel is absolutely gorgeous and it was in the most possible convenient location to shops, restaurants and touring the whole city.

The hotel was nice, we got woken up one morning by someone pulling the fire alarm, that was annoying. One day we requested to purchase the trolley and because it was so late in the day, the woman at the front desk told us no, then I explained about my knee issue and she said okay, but the fact that she instantly told us no without knowing why we were going to purchase the ticket, was unacceptable. The trolley ran until 5pm, so it shouldn’t have mattered what time we were renting it and for what reason.
