Great location and amenities

An amazing experience! Great staff, clean, comfortable rooms, excellent views, in walking distance of just about everything. DeSoto rocks! Nice bar, restaurant, coffee bar, etc. we will be back to try the spa next time. Side note: The pool deck could be a little larger and/or no children after 8pm. If you want to relax in the water without the noise and getting splashed by children this is not the resort pool for you! 7am-10pm the pool is full of munchkins in the summertime! I love that this hotel caters to families and couples alike, I also love kids with 3 of my own, but the hotel would do well to have a separate pool/splash pad. Rumor has it they once had a rooftop pool, not sure if this is true, but having two distinct areas would be great. The woman trying to meditate with Tai Chi probably would have appreciated a separate space as well. Still, a Savannah favorite.

Excellent views, service and location!

Everything about this stay was nothing short of EXCEPTIONAL. The front staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and ended up upgrading us to an executive suite when they found out our room wasn't available. The suite had an absolutely incredible view. My only complaint was that the balcony was locked down. I would've definitely loved to enjoy my morning coffee out there but I'm sure there's a reason they are locked. Close to fantastic restaurants and walkable to the local parks and riverfront shops. I'll definitely be staying here again the next time I visit Savannah!

We assumed our room would be cleaned. Met staff in hallway who spoke little English but communicated our need for towels and coffee for the next morning. This was mid-afternoon. Came back after dinner and found our beds made. Odd to only have one wastebasket in bathroom. None in living area. Missed having a fridge; used a lot of ice to keep leftovers cool. Beds were comfortable; room clean. I’ve stayed here before and wanted my friend to experience the hotel and area.
