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 had a wonderful stay! The staff was friendly and the location was perfect.

They missed making up our room 2 days in a row. Most of the staff seemed to have an attitude. Bathrooms are very small and aged.

We went to Savanah for a concert. The location of the DeSoto was perfect. The hotel was luxurious. Staff was super friendly and very helpful. We loved staying here.

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.

The location is great, walking distance to everything. The hotel is clean and well appointed. There is only valet parking. It is not a cheap hotel, but it is worth the location.

Just a weekend getaway that was very very nice. The hotel and staff were exceptional to us. Room was clean nicely appointed and quiet

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.

Fully renovated and modern. Excellent a/c and water pressure. Very convenient in center of historic district. Several restaurants one block away. But hotel’s dining room is excellent for breakfast and dinner. Very deep wine list. Creative cocktails and entrees. Fair prices. Spacious room with open kitchen.

Need to have place to buy sundries and snacks - coffee bar closed at 2. Wanted a snack upon arrival but nothing including no vending machines. Couple of other issues - hard to find ice bucket and coffee maker.

Second time for a Girls Trip in 2 years. Lobby was always so loud with people and music.

A special shout out to Charlie at the Valet stand. He was so kind and considerate even though we did not have a car. He went out of his way to greet us with a big smile and make sure we had water for our walks. An asset to your hotel!

Very nice hotel. Within walking distance to many restaurants and bars

Location was great!

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.

Nice hotel. The front desk staff Shannon and Raven were great. Also Xavier from valet was extremely helpful. Walking distance to everything. I definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely hotel in the historic part of the city. Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is centrally located for restaurants, shops, tours. Great experience.

The hotel was fantastic! Very clean and quiet, and very walkable to everywhere we wanted to go.

Welcoming staff. Hotel nice and bright. Has a cafe and a restaurant, pool and workout room. Centrally located in the historic area and walking distance from the cathedral.

The room was lovely and the staff very helpful and pleasant

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.

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

Always a great location, but there was only 1 elevator running the whole time I was there, making it a long wait every time you needed to use the elevator. Apparentrly, it has been going on for a long period of time

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.

Lovely hotel in the historic district of Savannah which is a perfect location to see some of the city highlights.

Loved the hotel and the amenities offered. The only complaint is the room was not vacuumed before we arrived and the hallways were not being vacuumed during the stay

The DeSoto is in a perfect location in the center of the historic district. From here you can explore by walking in any direction. The concierge (Howard) was unbelievably helpful and knowledgeable! We loved the hotel and the city! For us, it’s definitely a repeater!

Our stay was very nice. Everyone was super helpful and friendly. The location was perfect. Great walkability. Small issue with the housekeeping coming very late and not leaving the usual water. We were told we had to get it ourselves. There were areas that need renovating but would definitely return.

The room was spacious and super clean. The lobby of the hotel was very nice as was the bar and restaurant areas. My only complaint was the elevators that were out of service cause some delays in getting back up to the room.

The location in the facility are great and I would definitely stay there again.

Valet

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.

It’s a wonderful location.

Perfectly located very reasonable price for historical district.

Great location, friendly staff, clean rooms, very comfortable bed. We had a great time!

The view was nice.

It took 2 hours past check in for the hotel to get our room ready. Also the hours for the on-site amenities were listed incorrectly on the website. The air vents were very dirty in our room.

This is my 4th stay at the DeSoto. I can't imagine staying anywhere else while in Savannah. The location is perfect and the staff is always so friendly. My only complaint is the lack of chairs on the balcony.

The hotel is lovely and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Excellent location and friendly staff . Our room was nice But it could use a fridge & more plug connections

The rooms were clean and bed was super comfy.

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.

Beautiful hotel and great staff. Our only issue was a dirty bathroom floor and shower. Hopefully, the housekeeper just got interrupted and forgot to finish cleaning the bathroom. Highly recommend The Desoto, especially if you get a fantastic deal from Travelzoo, like we did!

I couldn't ask for a better location for exploring historic Savannah, GA. We appreciated the valet parking, no hassle trying to find a place to park.

Location was great

Fitness facility & pool area was very sad & lacking. TV in our room was tiny, old & damaged. Had to run fan entire time to partially drown out loud sounds in next door room & elevator. Rude staff in lobby scolded me for drinking too much infused water. “1 cup per guest”. It’s water! Just put more in the dispenser!

Th hotel is well appointed and well staffed. The rooms are typical for an older hotel (a bit on the small side) but overall this was a great place to stay.
