The room was not well maintained or equipped, we even had baby roaches in the dresser where the coffee was stored. The floor was dirty the AC was not 100% for the price at least a mini fridge or microwave should be provided. On top the parking is to expensive $57.00 the night. I won’t be staying there again that’s for sure.

The room seemed clean at first. However, the bathroom mirror had two large cracks in it. Later in the night I was made aware of several cockroaches in the room. I spent the whole morning trying to trap and kill the cockroaches. I have video evidence of the debacle that ensued.

The valet staff is great! The hotel is stunning when you first walk in. The front desk greeted me promptly. I stayed two nights, so the cleaners made up the bed and freshened the towels for us. The pool, while small, was enjoyable and had a bar right next to it. If you choose a poolside room, you will hear ambient noise throughout the day and night, and there are NO blackout curtains that close entirely. This hotel has a restaurant on site, which is good but kind of pricey, so I took the remainder of my meal to go and got to the hotel room to find out I had no fridge! The bathroom ceiling has some mold, and the exhaust vent (with no exhaust fan option) was pushed up in and is really dirty. Other than that, it was pretty clean and an overall enjoyable stay. We used our beverage credits on the last day (you have to use them all at once) and got breakfast on the go.

This hotel is in an excellent location and has a very helpful staff. The only thing I would mark down is that while the hotel in general is very clean, someone needs to instruct housekeeping to clean the rail that the shower door goes in. Mine was pretty gross. Other than that everything was very clean.

The Hotel has a needs of Security Guards, the last night in my floor at 2:00Am a fight between a woman and men was originated in the hallway of eight floor, we call Front Desk and never answer, was an horrible night without sleep with this situation. The fight take about two hours.

The Desoto has a beautiful lobby and a fantastic staff! The hallways and room could use some TLC. Our bathroom was newly remodeled and very nice, but it did not have a counter as shown in photos but was only a pedestal sink, which is difficult when you’re traveling with a family of four. The room itself could use some love. The A/C was not responding to adjustments and wouldn’t go below 75*. I won’t count against them the drunks we heard between 12:00 am-2:00 am (the walls and doors are thin) Overall, if I were still childless in my 20s-30s to party in Savannah it’s a fine place to stay! But these days I’m a bit more spoiled and need my beauty sleep! 3.5/5

Room was lovely, king city view, price was great, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion provided. 23$ drink credit was used for two drinks at pool bar, pool was clean and well maintained. Beach chairs available but more could be provided to serve guests. Towel service excellent.
Location is excellent. Was able to walk everywhere and we did have a car. Hotel charges 54$ for parking, but street parking was plentiful and free on weekends and after 5 pm. 2$/hr from 8 am til 5 pm and free overnight. App lets you pay for parking without going to car. Would definitely return. Lots of great coffee, bars and restaurants in walking distance.

Excellent location for my needs, the front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful, the door staff not so much. They should be greeting you much more.

The breakfast cafe food is very reasonably priced and pretty good food.

I stayed on the 5th floor it smelt a little, asked to be moved and they had no hesitation and moved me to the 8th floor. This floor did not smell but has also seen better days. I am not sure if other floors have been renovated but these two floors are in need of.

The price is also pretty good at this hotel, it just desperately needs a refresh!

Lobby is well maintained with beautiful art from SCAD. Rooms do not have the amenities compared to other hotels such as refrigerator and/or microwave. Vending rooms only had ice machine and trash cans filled, not empty. There is only 1 microwave for the entire hotel in the lobby. Fitness room is outside near the pool. If it rains or storms, you can't work out or have to walk through the storm. Great historical site but not convenient for the average traveler. Coffee shops and restaurants are great and within walking distance. Parking too expensive, more than the Marriott. They add an amenities fee with no amenities to charge. There is one in house restaurant and bar with coffee shop (closes early). No room service.

A really nice hotel in a fantastic location. Lots to do nearby, and walkable to River St. They do mean \"double bed\" in the booking, if you're larger, I'd recommend booking the king. Very friendly front staff. Pool was nice, but not enough chairs, so we didn't get to enjoy it. This hotel is definitely work a look if it's in your budget.

The rooms are a bit dated and even with the attempted modern upgrades they were not quality work, eg paint smears on the door handles, excessive caulking, etc.
The rooms are not regularly deep cleaned as we moved one of the beds and it clearly had not been cleaned in months and several areas of the bathroom were not cleaned properly. (Mildew in the shower track, stain on the white vanity door (was able to clean myself with some intentional scrubbing).
The lobby and restaurants are beautiful. Pool area was also great.
Staff were pleasant but super attentive. Parking is a little on the expensive side at $53/night but it was valet so understandable. (No self parking available)
Overall it was a decent place to stay but I will likely not be back.

This is an exceptionally nice property, centrally located in downtown Savannah. Given the location, you don't need a car and can avoid the $53/night for valet parking. Pretty much everything is within 12 minutes, maybe 15 if you walk slowly. Or you can grab a cab or rideshare and get there in 3-5 minutes.

Everyone we interacted with at the hotel was friendly, polite, helpful, and knowledgeable. The concierge was exceptionally well informed about the tours we wanted to do and gave us some good tips about how to optimize our use of the hop-on, hop-off trolley. We had breakfast in the restaurant one morning and while the menu is a bit limited, but food and service were very good.

While we didn't plan to use the pool, it was still disappointing that it was out of service. It's likely open again by the time I'm writing this.

Our room was spacious and elevated. Plenty of space to store clothes and spread out. There was a mini fridge and a microwave, which is a nice touch. Our room had a small balcony for fresh air, though because of the hotel location and our lower floor there wasn't much of a view.

We would definitely stay here again.

I gave a 3 on some because we were really disappointed to find out at check in the pool was closed. This was the main reason we booked the hotel. Would be nice to know this ahead of time or at least receive a discount since we didn’t have a pool to enjoy. Hotels with pools always charge more so we should have been given that instead of one drink ticket per person. Otherwise the staff was great and the hotel was beautiful.

We frequent the DeSoto a good bit. Was unfortunate that this time there was a conference literally right in front of our room that filled what was supposed to be a relaxing visit with incredible noise most of the day from the conference and then most of the evening from the reception that happened at the pool which was right outside of our balcony. We don’t generally have issues at this property so we are treating it as a one off. Would LOVE for them to be more realistic with their valet rates when it’s the only parking option available. $55/day is a bit disgusting

This was once a fine hotel. Unfortunately it is kind of shabby now.
The room was clean and the bed was comfortable but the base of the bed was all beat up and the rug under the bed couldn’t be more unattractive.
Our room had a good view of the city which was nice.
The location is really convenient and that is a positive.
Unfortunately, the pool which is a nice attraction was closed. And half the palms around the hotel pool area are dead.
Also parking is $53 a night, which is far too much!

The pool was closed because they neglected to get it pre approved by board of health which needed to be done. Someone dropped the ball on that. I was very disappointed since the pool was the main reason I booked the property. I was not happy and insisted to be recompensed for that and was given a 25% refund on our room for the entire stay (the squeaky wheel gets greased). Our room was not cleaned when we returned at 2:45 which is unacceptable for people staying multiple nights. We needed to shower and dress for an event so we just exchanged used towels for new towels and made our own beds. Not something I want to do on vacation. The hallways need a refresh. Carpets fraying and need to be repainted. Lastly our bathroom was in need of refresh. If all these things get addressed the hotel would be worth the price. Otherwise not.

The location of the hotel, the inviting lobby, and decent pool and patio area were the highlights. One of the two beds in our room was old and sagging. That’s not great for the back! I’m sure a few years ago the hotel was a notch up, but things just look tired and in need of a bit of extra care. We were pleasantly surprised by a fabulous dinner at the bar (from the main restaurant kitchen). The food was terrific!

The tv didn't work and the water would random go to a trickle and go cold before getting hot again. Also the bathroom made some very load noise randomly as my kids try to sleep. They did renovations quickly and sloppy that it makes the room look dirty. I have reach out with document of all of this, waiting to hear back.

My room was fine and clean. When the sheets were changed, a stained sheet was put on the bed which was unpleasant so I slept in the other bed. I was shocked by the condition of the floor in another guest's room. The faux wood floor was damaged in numerous places. That room should have been closed for repairs. It would have looked bad in a two-star hotel. One elevator's control control panel was broken and ajar although all elevators worked well. Except for the stained sheet, my room was fine so I would call this an overpriced three-star hotel. Nice lobby, good coffee available in lobby coffee shop. Main floor restaurant looked nice but I never had chance to eat there. Great location for our purposes within easy walking distance of many things. Good restaurants nearby. I would call it an overpriced three-star hotel. If I was in Savannah again, I would look for something better for the price, although I could stay there again if nothing better was available.
