The hotel itself was lovely and the location was perfect. Unfortunately, renovations or maintenance of some kind was taking place in the room above us. There was constant,very loud, banging and drilling during the daytime hours. We just wanted some peace and quiet when we returned from exploring the city, It negatively impacted our stay.

Property was dated. No housekeeping for our 3 day 2 night stay. Trash wasn't removed, no coffee supplies for second morning. Loud construction to repair balconies both days. Shocked by $48 valet parking per night. Ridiculous extra fee to check in early or check out late. Not a good value.

The location is very good making it an easy walk to most everything I want to see. I have stayed there several times over the past 6 or 7 years and it needed a major renovation then. Very old and often have to have maintenance come...sometimes just to get the door to open. It needs work but I guess that's why it's affordable.

We staying in room 1007, and upon entering it smelled like a smoking room. The hotel may be an older hotel that once had smoking rooms, but if they could concentrate on renovating and removing the smoke smell, this hotel would be a 10 out of a 10.

It was wonderful. It has a very convenient location, you can easily walk to everywhere in the historic district. Many nearby cafes and bars. The hotel bar was very nice and has a happy hour. And the most comfortable mattress. We flew into the Savannah airport (wonderfully small) on a Saturday evening so the our ride share was about $50 to the hotel but $35 on a Wednesday morning return. We loved Savannah and this hotel, would definitely stay here again

Very positive check-in experience (in person). Beautiful hotel and nice room. We liked the coffee bar in the lobby. I did NOT like the pre check-n experience, because I received multiple texts telling me to pre-register, but the only way to do that was to provide an electronic copy of my driver's license which I refused to do. That is an inappropriate request from a privacy perspective. I also receive too many texts from the hotel, including a hotel ad about a Girls Dinner (?!) Other than those issues it was a wonderful stay. We would return.

The DeSoto had ongoing problems with their elevators which made our visit there very bad. There were upwards to 15-20 minutes waits on the upper floors of this hotel for two days (with 2 our of 3 elevators out of services) with no explanation from management and no posted announcement. But they were quick to let guests know about a 6 person limit while the rest of waited. The Manager on duty when we inquired about this problem, Akilah Jones, was especially rude. 5 guests, including me, wanted to speak to her about how long it was taking to repair. She refused to some out to come out and told us there would be compensation. We are still waiting. The hotel had many other smaller flaws that shows it has seen better days ad may have been under-staffed.

The check in process was a breeze. The location was a breeze to get to a ton of places. Unfortunately our rooms a/c was out of order & the room didn’t get below 73 on the hottest weekend of the summer. The elevator always had a long wait because only 1 was working. And the fire department was called to help some stuck guest get out of one of the elevator’s. Other than that the stay was pleasant & we would stay again just on a lower floor so we could take the stairs.

Loved our stay here at the DeSoto. This was our first visit to Savannah and I was very happy with the centralized location. The hotel appeared to be renovated. The valets (the first staff that a guest meets) were especially cheerful and greeted us warmly. That made for a good 1st impression.

Guests should be warned about the cumbersome parking situation. The DeSoto charges an exhorbitant amount. They should have self parking for $20. The staff should inform the guests about the street parking challenges, and particularly to point out that street sweeping occurs on different days and to read the signs carefully. It was quite a hassle to keep moving my car during the 5 days I was there.

My daughter and I had a great visit here! The location is wonderful and quieter than hotels closer to the river. The vacuuming and cleaning in the bathroom could have been a bit more thorough but it is an older property and I could tell that care is taken to maintain and clean it. The common spaces were lovely. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The bartender was chill, knowledgeable and skilled with our mocktaiks. It was too cold for us to go in the pool but the area was clean, pool was sparkling and it was a quiet, comfortable space. The breakfast restaurant was awesome, fresh, and fast. A fantastic latter and made to order breakfast sandwich. We had a but of trouble getting the smart tv aspect to work but we just decided on other activities and I’m sure they would have helped us if we had asked. Our bedside lamp did not work and the fixed it promptly. I only wish there had been a fridge in the room.

When we first arrived (3/19/25), we were assigned a room on the 13th floor. I informed the front desk staff , that i would like to be assigned a different floor and she just looked at me. Never said a thing, so my wife asked me to let it go. Upon reaching the elevators, I allowed another guest to go in front of me, as I entered the elevator, the doors shut on me. I was pulling my luggage behind me and the elevator door struck my elbow area and didn't reopen. The other guest had to intervene, I am now in extreme pain. We reach our room, and are greeted by a large roach, then A/C sounds like a motor train. We have to leave the room so I can get my mind off the pain. Upon leaving the hotel, I receive a text from "Raven" from the hotel greeting me and ask if everything was ok. I respond and explain everything in a reply text. She never responded. My wife and I go on our way and look for a pharmacy for some pain pills, Icy/Hot and a sling for my arm. Next morning I receive another text from "Raven". Again I text her the problems and also tell her that I am no in a Sling. A "Kathy" replies and tells me that she will send an engineer to look at the A/C issue. Completely ignoring my injured elbow (arm) and elevator noise. We check out on Friday(3/22/25). My whole 3 day mini vacation spent in pain and never a restful sleep. We finally reach our hometown in Texas and now trying to make an appointment with my Doctor for x-rays and treatment

My husband and I had passed through Savannah on numerous occasions, but we had never truly explored its beauty and history. The Desoto was beautifully appointed, situated in the heart of the city, and historic. On the east side, we walked to explore the river, shops, and restaurants. On the west side, antebellum Savannah awaited with the most incredible residential area; it was magical, particularly Jones Street.

The Desoto Savannah had everything going for it, but perhaps the most memorable was the true Southern hospitality of its staff. We have traveled abroad and domestically for decades, but we have never stayed in a place where the staff was kinder, more attentive, friendlier, professional, and willing to augment our stay by any way possible.

We had a beautiful room overlooking the city. When we arrived three hours before check in to ask if we could store our luggage, they let us check in early, which was hugely helpful. The staff were all really nice, and the location can't be beat - right in the middle of the historic district and an easy walk to the riverfront.
