Overall a nice experience
Pros:

We really enjoyed the hotel and will come again
However we upgraded our room to pool side and the pool was under repair no water yet.
We were not informed if this when we were offered the upgrade.
The front desk did give us a voicher fir breakfast to make up for it but would not change us to a balcony room instead as we requested

Room comments
Pros:

Good experience. Wish my room had a working hair dryer. Also some room literature to help our stay would have been nice…the typical stuff like where to find amenities, how to get on wifi, whether water/cookies in room are complementary…

Great spot in historic Savannah.
Pros:

It was a lovely hotel over all. Great location. Wish there were more luxuries in the room, such as an extra arm chair, and a small refrigerator.

Best anniversary trip ever!
Pros:

We went to Savannah for our 10 year anniversary and every staff member we encountered at the desoto was exceptional! I’m not sure what’s wrong with the people who left those bad reviews (most likely elderly entitlement) but the desoto made our anniversary so special.

Unhappy with our stay
Pros:

My husband and I were very disappointed with our stay there. I purposely booked your hotel because of the pool and it was closed and the outside chairs not even set up. I also paid extra for a balcony that you couldn't even sit on. The room was in need of a makeover. Also the price for parking was a bit extreme. We will definitely not be staying there again. This was our 3rd trip to savannah. Our previous hotels were excellent.

Charlie F and Raven
Pros:

The hotel is perfectly located where you can walk to everything. The room was clean, the bed super comfy and the shower pressure was great! As someone who like a cold room the ac was terrific. The staff was so nice but two shout out are needed. Raven at the front desk who helped us with dining suggestions and Charlie F at the valet. Raven was so sweet and helpful, she was patient and just a pleasure to speak with. Charlie was an absolute character who puts a smile on your face. He is what you think of when you imagine southern hospitality!

Underwhelming for the price. Beautiful property, however the tons were not as well appointed as we’d hoped.
Pros:

Although this was touted as a top rated hotel, it was underwhelming. The hotel was clean and the ambience very nice. The lobby was well appointed, however the room was somewhat disappointing. The hotels bathroom only had a shower liner without a curtain, there wasn’t a refrigerator and no glasses for drinking water in the room as well. I believe for the price these items in the room should be included. The bed was comfortable, & the room was quiet, which was a plus.

Below expectations
Pros:

Location was excellent and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Our room was very worn down with a piece missing from the tub, a piece missing from the floor, nail polish stains on the floor, and a piece missing from the fabric of the desk chair. There was no balcony furniture and the pool was closed. Additionally, the hot water in the shower would intermittently become ice cold and need to be adjusted to regain the hot water again.
Overall, we had a pleasant stay but found the quality of our experience below our expectations for the price.

DISAPPOINTED, MISSING ITEMS FROM ROOM!
Pros:

While my stay itself was pleasant, a serious issue arose after personal belongings went missing from my room.

A paper bag containing artwork and a signed book that I purchased during my stay disappeared. These items are of significant value and cannot be replaced. A formal incident report was filed at the time of discovery. It is my understanding that the items may have been mistakenly discarded, possibly under the assumption that they were trash. Regardless of the cause, the loss remains unresolved and unacceptable.

I was informed that an investigation would be conducted and was specifically instructed to call on Monday, 02/24, for an update. Since that date, I have called daily. Each time, I have either been told that someone would return my call that same day or I have been directed to a voicemail. As of today, 02/27, I have left five voicemails and have not received a single response.

The handling of this matter has been extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I expect prompt communication and a clear resolution regarding the recovery or reimbursement of my missing property but have yet to even come close to a resolution.

For this reason alone, I do not recommend a stay at the DeSoto.
