Beautiful historic hotel in the middle of the historic district. Neat area for Christmas Eve. Our 4th time to Savannah over a 15 year span. First time at Christmas and will be a nice memory. Only slept here 1 night so really cannot comment on a true stay. The only disappointment was no fire pit as shown on expedi. Informed hotel they need to update photos and descriptions.

Very nice unique hotel with a historical boutique vibe. Good location and close walk to all the major attractions. The only issue we had was a very odd paranormal moment late at night. My girlfriend saw a shadowy figure walk past her in the dark twice before bed time. I myself did not see it but I did hear some strange sounds. But after further review we did find out this hotel has a history of hauntings.. but apparently that’s a Savannah thing. Do what this information what you will. Other than that great town to check out! :)
