Riverfront hotel in Savannah’s historic district
Originally a storehouse for cotton during the 1800s--when Savannah's waterfront boasted a bustling cotton exchange--River Street Inn sits on a bluff overlooking the Savannah River. The inn comprises five floors wrapped around a central atrium. Throughout the property, antique furniture and period décor create an old-world ambiance with modern conveniences. The inn's central location at the north end of Savannah's historic district puts guests within easy walking distance to the bars and restaurants of River and Broughton Streets.
Highlights
- Great location overlooking River Street and the Savannah River
- Trolley tours of Savannah's historic district stop outside the hotel
- Walking distance to many downtown bars, restaurants and attractions
Rooms
Southern ambiance permeates the inn's décor with antique and antebellum-style furnishings. Each room has its own personality, from hardwood floors and four-poster beds to plush carpeting and wrought-iron headboards. All 86 rooms overlook the Savannah River or downtown Savannah. Watch large ocean freighters ply the busy port river from French-style balconies found in some rooms.
Features
Built in 1817 out of ballast stones left by visiting ships, the first two floors of the inn make up a section of Factor's Walk--a network of narrow streets, alleys and bridges that supported one of the South's busiest cotton ports. Numerous restaurants, bars, shops and tour options surround the hotel. Visit Huey's Southern Café for low country favorites like shrimp, oysters and fried green tomatoes. Guests can buy tickets for trolley tours of the city or river cruises from the front desk. A complimentary evening guest reception with wine and hors d'oeuvres is held Monday to Saturday. A fitness center with professional-grade cardio equipment is located onsite.

Perfect location on river St.Staff was very nice and friendly.Turndown gal was great!So was the chocolate!The wine/appetizer gathering was nice. A little something with the coffe in the morning would have been nice. That is the only complaint I have. Our room facing the river was wonderful--always something to watch.

Amazing location for the price.
The location is perfect - right on the river. Close to shops and restaurants. It's also within walking distance to all of the historic areas that Savannah has to offer. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to Savannah.

I highly recommend taking the Savannah on/off Tour. It takes you all around the historic district and allows you to get off and on at 15 different locations throughout the city.

In the Heart of Historic Savannah
My husband and I flew in from Kansas City and we stayed 5 days. We never needed to rent a car, everything was within walking distance and the River Street Inn was in the mecca of River St. which is the most hoppin' place in town, beautiful views from our room and we were Not on the River side and still had an awesome balcony. Some Tips: 1. If you plan on eating at Paula Deans, Lady & Sons, go on the Paula Dean Tour through Old Savannah Tours. You'll get to eat at her brother's place (Uncle Bubbas) and get a VIP pass for Lady & Sons, which is well worth not standing in line for half a day, just to get your name on a list.2. First day there, take an Old Savannah Tours - Historic Hop on & hop off Trolley ride. You'll learn alot and be able to "get your bearings" on what is where.3. All the Ghost tours are fascinating and fun, I don't suggest taking any "walking" tours though, because you'll be "pooped" from walking so much anyway, and Savannah can be a little "sketchy" after dark.4. Shrimp Factory on River Street was one of the best places to eat - average meal cost: $15 to $25 per person - but delicious!5. The Andrew Low House was my favorite house to tour, next would be the Mercer, then Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace, then Davenport...all the houses are just amazing!!!6. Look for the FREE Ferry across the river, great for pictures. Usually boards off of River St., just to the east of the Hyatt.7. [*]8. As long as your beer or mixed drink is in a plastic cup, you can walk right out the door and down the street with it (can't be over 16 oz. though) - really cool.Overall we had a great time and my only complaint was the pillows were very flat at the River Street Inn, and each time I called the front desk for extras, they were out, but the bed was comfy and the room was amazing. It was a little noisy Thurs-Sat. Nights because of all the commotion on River St. when trying to sleep, but not horrible.

Historical Hotel
The River Street Inn is one of two historical hotels in Savannah and well worth staying at. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. It had two comfy chairs and a big bathroom, and plenty of storage. We had a river view and could see the big ships go down the river. It was very hot during our visit and the A/C cooled us off very quickly each time we returned to our room. This is a perfect location for walking to many shops, dinning and site seeing.

Check in location is located on East Bay Street instead of East River Street. Parking is very limited. Unload your luggage, then you will be given a card key for parking garage which will cost you $8 per day. Elevator in atrium will take give you access to lower River Street for shopping and dinning.

River Street Inn
The parking was a bit unusual if you arrive later in the day. Easy to handle once you are aware you can double park in front of the inn until you get a pass. After this and the rooms may take a bit of getting used to, you don't just go to the 5th floor and get to any 5th fl. room. U may have to go to another elevator on the 4th fl to get to certain 5th floor rooms. Otherwise it was all very good.

The best deal Ever!!
I've stayed at hundreds of hotels and this one is likely to be the best deal I have ever encountered when booking a hotel room. The room was gorgeous, spotless, and most accomodating. My wife's first question was, "How much did you pay for this?" as it appeared to be a five star hotel, with rooms in the $100's. The most comfortable night's sleep I have had in hotel, with a room truly representative of Savannah. It also offered a great view and the best possible location in all the city. We only stopped in Savannah because we were on our way down to Florida and have now decided that this is our go-to hotel for anytime we are in that area.

Great!
The hotel is an old cotton exchange building, so if you like history, this is the place. The only reason it was noisy is that it's right on the river and there was a band playing right outside the hotel in the touristy river walk, but one expects a party down there. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. River Street Inn had nice remodeled bathrooms. It was a very pleasant stay.

Savannah Trip 2010
The Hotel was beautiful, [...], we got the worst room possible in the hotel, we then had to change rooms the next night. The second room was nice but with a smaller bed.The original room [...] had broken tiles, the windows were so dirty that you could not see outside, the room was facing a wall.All in all the hotel is a historic building nice architecture good staff but no room service at night, no housekeeping at night so no towels.I would stay there again [...]
