River Street Inn

A superb historic hotel

The very best was the rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the river and river street. The walk from the parking garage to the Inn is a little much, but the View was breath taking.

This hotel was everything the description promised, and more! Everything about it was beautiful - the traditional decor and original features were really stunning. The small details really made a difference and we were made to feel very special. The wine reception was a really nice touch, and the turndown service felt very luxurious and extravagant. I cannot find a single fault with this hotel, and know with absolute certainty that I will stay at this hotel for all future visits to Savannah. My only negative is that on this visit we only stayed one night!

I have been to Savannah one other time and stayed at Holiday Inn Express which is great. I thought River Street Inn would be similar and is in a historic building. Disappointments abound. You have to use your room key to access the elevator. I finally gave up and they gave me new room keys (cards) which worked fine, There is no in house wifi. Luckily I was able to connect to outside wifi off and on but do not plan on getting any serious work done with this connection. There is no provided breakfast - as I have meetings starting at 0730 this is a "deal breaker". No microwave in room. No fridge in room. If you want an iron or ironing board, you must call and request one from the front desk. If you are a tea drinker, bring your own. The coffee pot is in the top of the closet. The pillows are like little rocks. Bring your own. While the A/C gets the room COLD, the carpet always feels damp on your feet. Parking is extremely limited. Contrary to the hotel website that states _"upon checkin you will be told where to park" there is no pull up to the door available. I ended up across the street at a municipal garage behind Holiday Inn Express. You have to drag your luggage down the hill and across the street, then up and over 2 sets of steps to get to the front door of the hotel. On the plus side - it is a great location. They do provide bathrobes which you will need to keep the A/C chill off you. The room is clean, small amount of mold in the bathroom on wall and bathtub but it IS the south. I am here for 4 nights and am off to buy a pillow.

Absolutely wonderful. Close to really great restaurants, shopping and sight-seeing.

Great place to stay. Very clean and close to everything. It was so cool to watch the ships float by the hotel...Loved it

I marked "noisy" as a bad thing, but it was expected where the Inn is located. I just wanted to alert folks that the fun on the street can be heard in the rooms above, but it didn't bug me. I wish the TV in the room was bigger and that the bed wasn't so stiff, but otherwise we had a great view and a great time! The wine and cheese hour was a nice touch for guests.

We decided to go to Savannah for our 10th wedding anniversary. Our stay at the River Street Inn was great! [...] had a great price/deal on our room. Loved the location. The River view is awesome! Our room was a nice size and very clean with nice hardwood floors. Housekeeping service was awesome,came several times during the day. If we ever go back to Savannah we will definitely stay here again. Being able to go downstairs and be on River Street is so convenient and fun. Great food and shops on river street. The only negative thing I have to say is that on arrival we were given a parking card to park in the deck across the street... I assumed this was free because it was given to us w/our room keys. Upon checkout i learned that we had to pay to park. It was only $8 for 3 days but the staff should tell you that upon check in. The good thing is that you are within walking distance to most things you'd want to do in the area. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to family and friends.

If staying in Savannah and you want to be in the middle of it all, this is the location. This is one of the few hotels that have an elevator that will take you from the "city" floor down to River street. The room we stayed in had a great view of the river and like I said before, easy access to where ever you wanted to go. The Savannah Trolley is a short walk down the road, restruants, shops, and much more just all right there. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful also. The only reason I did not give it five stars is if you like to go to bed early, you might have trouble if you don't leave the TV on or something because the outside noise is heard. But since we enjoyed staying out a little late (11:00 pmish) this was not a problem for us at all.

WOW!- This hotel has a beautifully historic look and feel while maintaining modern convenience. If you like B&B's and don't want to fork over the case this hotel is a great alternative. Location is seconded to none, You are right on River Street with everything in walking distance. I love this hotel and will recommend it to everyone i speak to.
