Sleep Quality Low, hospitality high
Pros:

This hotel is cool and everyone that works there is very friendly. However the rooms facing the street side (Bay St) is very noise and when your neighboring hotel guests enter their room you can hear their movements (back and forth). The bathroom cleanness is not up to standards. Pink algae grows in along the bottom shower grout, the back on the bathroom door (where you hang your towel) doesn’t look like it’s been wiped down in a long time. Dust and past guest’s hair lives back there. I wouldn’t want to take a black light it. If you turn off the fan, dust is caked to the blades. These details make the difference in Stars giving. If you value your sleep quality I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Great experience
Pros:

We stayed at River Street Inn for a week and the service was excellent!! Everyone at the front desk was nice and greeted us every time we came through the door and always asked if we needed anything. I highly recommend staying with them if you’re planning a trip to Savannah Georgia.

Great stay overall but fireplace wasn’t as promised.
Pros:

It’s an attractive place, right on the river and a convenient walk to the squares and the business district, as well as the ferry landing.

Cons:

On Booking.com the room description said that the highlight of the room was the fireplace. But there was no fireplace. It wasn’t that important to me so I didn’t ask to have my room changed, but the desk clerk saying “oh I guess that was false advertising then.” Anyway, if this is important to you, keep it in mind. Otherwise I liked it. (The only other thing was that it’s a historic building so the floor wasn’t perfectly level, but that comes with the charm of the historic property.)

We will be back
Pros:

Perfectly located for exploring the riverfront as well as the historic district. The staff was uniformly friendly and helpful. We arrived early, dropped our bags and got a great brunch recommendation. Coming in one day and being enthusiastically greeted by Cassandra made our day, we felt like we were part of the family. 💚
