It was nice. It was more like a bed and breakfast than a boutique hotel. Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected by the description. It was a little pricey for what it was, in my opinion. The location was perfect because I wanted to stay in a residential area. Savannah is easy to navigate and walkable. It’s a beautiful town.

We spent a night in Savannah on our way back from Florida. We loved our stay here. The property is beautiful and the rooms have everything you need. There was complimentary champagne our first night and the complimentary breakfast was phenomenal. I would highly recommend this b&b and we will absolutely be back next time we are in the area.

Liked the coziness feeling of not too many guests. Had to get used to the “old city” environment, but that contributed to the “ uniqueness “ of it. Overall, enjoyable experience.
