Charming, Excellent Location
Pros:

Far from a generic hotel experience, River Street Inn is a charming, historic hotel with unique decor every where. It’s situated between Factors Walk and River Street, with rooms facing both sides. The staff is friendly and helpful, the morning coffee is quite good. I wouldn’t have chosen to be here at the hottest time of year, but the A/C works well. There’s valet parking, or the Bryan Street garage across the street for half the price. It also offers EV charging. The only disappointment was the Broken Keel Restaurant. I wanted to have breakfast on the veranda overlooking the river, but that’s delivery truck time and the noise and exhaust drove me back to my room. Otherwise, an excellent stay

Beautiful hotel!
Pros:

This place was a nice surprise. We weren't sure what to expect. We will be back! The river front with the cobble streets, shops, and restaurants was wonderful!

Reasonable. Get adult size toilets.
Pros:

The 4:00 - 5:30 reception is nice.

Cons:

Toilets are too short. They were extremely uncomfortable to squat and stand up from considering elderly people with arthritic knees.

Great value great people
Pros:

Absolutely beautiful! Located in the middle of everything! Love how you can leave the hotel from the first floor to the river section and the fourth floor directly into the historic district. The rooms are distinct and We had a midweek rate that was so much value for our money! Don’t miss managers happy hour! We love you Randy and Brad!

Will Nickle & Dime You with High Fees
Pros:

Room is typical. Good room service, cleaning and upkeep. Front is female staff were rude. My departure date was marjed a day earlier by mistake and I was charge $50 vallet parking upon arrival. The hotel does NOT have parking for its guests and charge $50 daily for vallet to park your car otherwise you have to use City of Savannah garage parking at a $25 daily rate. They try to appease you with infused water and coffee station. We travel to many vacation destinations with RCI and this hotel was disappointing.

Another Great Stay
Pros:

We have stayed at River Street Inn several times over the years, and this visit was just as good as the rest. It was easy to park and check in. The rooms are clean and had all that we needed. The Manager's Reception each night is always fun and a pleasant experience. The location of the hotel is great. It is right along the Savannah River and just about everything in the historic district is an easy walk. The entire staff was friendly and helpful. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within minutes. We enjoyed our stay very much and it felt good to come back to our room each evening and relax after a day of walking and experiencing the city. The checkout process was quick and easy. We will definitely continue staying at River Street Inn anytime we are in Savannah.

Wonderful stay!
Pros:

PROS: Wonderful location; EXTREMELY courteous, helpful, and friendly staff (especially Cassandra); room clean and comfy; great Manager's Happy Hour! Really interesting building.
CONS: Not really a "con," but when we got into the room we noticed that the toilet wasn't flushing and that we couldn't reset the safe - both issues were remedied immediately. Also, being on the third floor, we could really hear the folks in the room above us walking around, but maybe that's one of the quirks of being in an old building.
I'd definitely recommend The River Street Inn and hope to visit again!
