River Street Inn

i love history; thus my trip to savannah. hotel was in historic district. i parked my car and could walk or take the tourist trolley everywhere. heat was oppressive so it was nice to have such a pleasant hotel conveniently located soas to take a break.

Awesome location - lots to do, very comfortable - highly recommended - hotel has alot of charm and is very nice

My reason for traveling to Savannah was a friend's wedding. I could only stay one night and I wanted to have both a good location (near the actual wedding site, which was in one of the city's beautiful squares) and a hotel with a unique atmosphere. The River Street Inn was perfect in both regards. I would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it for those wishing something with historical atmosphere (was a cotton warehouse), great location (on the river) and within walking distance to restaurants, shopping and beautiful historical Savannah.

I was going to Savannah to visit SCAD and was looking for a cheap hotel to stay for a few days. The Riverside Inn blew my expectations out of the water! My room was very luxurious and clean, the staff was very friendly and helpful and the location was stellar! At the very tip of the Historic District, I was able to walk everywhere I needed to while staying in Savannah.

The location is great. Close to almost everything. The turn down service with chocolates was great. They have lots of comp. things in your room while you stay. However, the comp. bottle of water that was left in the room had the seal broken on it. I don't know if it had been drank out of and they just filled it up with tap water or what. A little unnerving. Over all, the front desk was very helpful and very nice. I would stay there again, I just won't drink the water.

Friendly staff. Had a room loking over the river (no balcony) but great view. Great location right in the thick of river street activties.

Finding the hotel can be a challenge if you're not from the Savannah area. The hotel's mailing address is on River Street, but you check in on Bay Street. There's not a big sign so it's easy to miss. Even if you have a GPS, I would recommend calling the hotel to get directions on where you need to go to check in. Now for the hotel review. The check-in process went very smoothly. The bellboys took my luggage to my room. The attendant gave me my room keys and my parking garage pass. I was told their parking was across the street in a garage that isn't owned by them. It's an extra $8 per day for parking. When I walked back to the hotel, the bellboy led me to my room. The room is very nice. It has the quality of many of the more expensive hotels. They have the basic hotel accommodations, and they give you a bottle of water each night. The bed was very comfortable. The service was excellent, and there is someone who comes later to verify the quality of service. Also, each evening, someone comes by your room to give you free sweets. The hotel is located in historic downtown Savannah, so most of the major accommodations are within walking distance. Also, the various trolleys stop by River Street Inn regularly, so you can tour downtown. If you want to go to the beach, you'll have to drive about 15 minutes to Tybee Island, which is very nice and expensive. Check out went very smoothly as well. I would definitely consider staying here again if I come back to Savannah.

Did not get the requested wake up call

The Inn itself was gorgeous; original hardwoods and exposed brick throughout the Inn and the rooms. I had a river view room that looked right over River Street which was a nice touch. Also leaving the Inn drops you off right into downtown, I didn't need my car the whole time I was there. The only thing that I didn't like so much was you could hear the hardwoods squeaking in the surrounding rooms. I would also imagine during the busier season River Street would have been quite a bit louder than what I experienced so I would definately recommend earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Also the lights on River Street are right outside the windows which could be a bit annoying as well. The staff was very pleasant and helpful, and a knock on the door in the evening with chocolates for turndown service was a nice as well. I arrived about 2 hours before check-in and was promptly checked-in and shown my room. I would definately stay there again as the location and charm heavily outweighed any annoying the floorboards caused.
