First, I have to celebrate and honor Cassandra, her customer service was exceptional. While waiting to check-in we were able to witness how she serviced each customer with compassion, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. She made us feel welcomed and valued.

This was supposed to be a mini-vacation and graduation celebration for me. I was so excited to return to Savannah after years of moving to NYC. River Street Inn was the perfect location since I would be graduating across the waterway at the Savannah Convention Center. I booked a room with a balcony so that we could enjoy the River Street scenery.

However, my son and I were exhausted from travel and the humidity, so after our 4pm check-in we slept until 8pm. Upon waking up, I opened the balcony door and it was filled with mounds of bird poop and a floor board was loose. The carpet had brown stains and discolorations.

There were broken and loose bricks in the wall and floor. Their a/c leaked everyday. The shower floor had rusted and chipped areas that could cut your feet. We had to place towels over it to protect ourselves. Our room was 413 directly across from the ice machine which was located in the hallway which was torture. The cleaning staff were unprofessional.

When I requested a new room, they stated that they were none available. Honestly, I feel like I need a vacation from the vacation. The property was clean, but I paid for the room and the room was not.

The historic aspect of the hotel was interesting. The rooms had historic charm but on the small side. Our family of four was a tight fit. The building is old so the rooms are old and have an old smell to them so know that going in. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location is very good and the view was great.

My boyfriend and I visited Savannah for the first time together, and our stay at the River Street Inn was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcomed and cared for. Their hospitality and attention to detail were amazing.

The location was perfect. Having the restaurants and bars right in the building and being steps away from River Street made everything so convenient. We enjoyed taking romantic walks through Downtown Savannah in the mornings and relaxing with beautiful river views in the evenings.

Our River Street view was absolutely phenomenal and made the experience even more special. The complimentary champagne was such a thoughtful touch and truly the perfect way to celebrate our getaway.

The River Street Inn gave us everything we hoped for: comfort, charm, romance, and that true Savannah feel. We made so many wonderful memories and have already decided this will become an annual trip for us. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a romantic and unforgettable Savannah experience. 💕

Nice hotel but the rooms really were not kept up need painting lots of paint chipping,
Showers & bathrooms were not what I would consider a 4 star rating.
My room was supposed to be historic view with a balcony. It was actually a view of an alleyway very disappointing however, I think booking through a third party contributed to the poor choice. I asked for another room but was denied.

Really a great hotel to stay at in Savannah whether solo or with friends and partners. The location is ideal, with direct access to River Street shops and bars, and also short direct access to the historic districts above. This is a unique hotel build on a steep drop to the river but well equipped for people with difficulties walking steep stairs.

The two bar/restaurants on premise are very reasonable for the area and have good food and attentive staff. The hotel itself is a masterpiece, and each room is well-appointed and comfortable with great views in many of them.

For the price, you will not find a better hotel in Savannah. I stayed 5 nights on leisure and will be back each and every time I return to this incredible American gem of a city.

First I have stayed in luxury hotels before- this is not one. Though it is unique in its on way because of the age of the building. The staff are excellent, professional and courteous. Having 2 restaurants on the lower level was very convenient and th managers welcome daily was nice. I think you are really paying for the view because it is absolutely beautiful!!! Riding on the Georgia Queen boat was really fun as well. Didn't do the dinner ride, but was nice. Everything is walking distance. Very hot(temperature). Had to stay hydrated. Also, went to Tybee Isand which made my trip even more memorable. The rooms are a good size. I had the king bed which was very comfortable. You will hear every sound from the street and the hallway of room. The valet staff were awesome as well. All in all it was very nice. I would recommend.

First time in Savannah, and we wanted a hotel with some historic charm instead of a generic-looking chain. The River Street Inn is in a great location, right in the heart of downtown along the river. We were greeted by cheerful staff when we arrived and offered complimentary champagne, which was a nice touch.

Our room was quaint and had the Old South feel we were looking for, with beautiful wood floors and furniture. We chose a river view room, which added to the experience.

There are a few restaurants in the hotel. We had dinner at Broken Keel, which has both indoor and outdoor seating. I had the crab-stuffed grouper. It was pretty good, but a little overcooked. My husband had the fresh catch of the day, red snapper, and his was better than mine. They were also a little skimpy on the potatoes that came with the meal.

We would stay here again because the location is excellent and it’s right in the heart of everything. That said, a few things kept me from giving it five stars.

One was the front desk service later in our stay. We went to ask where a local restaurant was, and the hotel clerk seemed more interested in getting her coffee than helping us. We stood there waiting a few minutes before she rather grudgingly acknowledged us.

The other issue was parking. There is no designated hotel parking, so we used valet, which is $50 per night. When we were leaving, we texted the number as instructed, but it still took about 20 minutes to get our car. Several other people were

Great location. A bit confusing finding the entrance as it on the backside, uphill, 4th floor of the building, but we found it. The people at the front counter were very nice but hampered by the rooms not being ready at check in time. Overall a nice old building with a great view over the water. Only 2 things of note. We paid extra for a balcony room overlooking the water, but when we opened the door to step out, we very careful as the wood was very weathered and it worried us that it might not hold us. It was a bit soft, but it did hold us. The second thing was the bathroom had a couple of spots that were dirty and not recent. I am talking needing to be scraped off, not just washed. All the rest was positive. The view was beautiful.

Mold everywhere!! In the ceiling, on the baseboards, in the bathroom, in the hallways. Mold, mold, mold. And there is so much moisture in the air out clothes got damp just hanging in the room.
Valet parking was terrible (the valets themselves were fantastic and loved them) but 50 dollars a day plus an addition 110 dollar fee for utilizing the premises (which they did not state before hand). So over 900 dollars plus 260 fee for a three night stay for a small moldy room which we needed to clean. We needed to clean because there was plaster crumbling from the ceiling.
So all in all, historic building but in major need of repair in the rooms. They keep the main areas well, but wow.....overpriced and run down. I have stayed in nicer Holiday Inn Express'.
