Average 2-star hotel experience instead of 4-star
Pros:

The hotel is located in the nicest area of the city, and that’s the only positive thing to say about it.

Cons:

First of all, I booked the hotel mainly for the pool, which unfortunately was closed during our stay. No one from the hotel management informed us in advance, and we found that on a note left in the room. This led us to spend significantly more money booking the pool at other hotels, as the weather was so hot and humid. The hotel is far, far away from what you would expect for a 4-star place. The bathroom is old, with rust on the shower shelf and, generally speaking, outdated. I do not see the reason for booking a room with a terrace when not a single chair, not even a small one, was provided, making the place absolutely useless. The only positive, beautiful thing about the hotel was the lobby, which, up to a point, was nicely decorated. As we were coming from Europe, we didn't know that we had to leave a tip for housekeeping staff daily, which led to the staff emptying only the bins, changing the towels, and not making our beds, etc. They either left a bleach bottle in the bathroom, which we found so rude. However my partner paid the cleaning staff online at the end of the visit. Upon arrival, the receptionist was quite rude and unfriendly, making no effort to welcome us to the city. The bed was comfortable, but that's all. I truly do not recommend this hotel.

Disappointing-overpriced and not well managed by staff.
Pros:

Great location, elegant lobby. The concierge was very knowledgeable and helpful.

Cons:

The pool and fitness area was closed for scheduled repairs during our stay (in the peak of summer) and we were not informed in advance. It had been closed over a week before we arrived! We were offered breakfast vouchers after we complained but even those didn’t cover breakfast for 3 in the restaurant. The bathroom needed repairs/maintenance-the shower head was held on with caulk and the enamel on the bathtub was flaking off.. The front desk staff were not very helpful.

I would not stay at this hotel again. It was not hat I expected as far as cleanliness and it’s overpriced compared to ot
Pros:

I liked the breakfast. Very tasty and fresh!

Cons:

Rusty faucets in the bathroom sink and tub. Dirt and grime noted in the corners of the room and bathroom. The cost for this hotel is definitely due to the location and not the facility. Also, pool and gym were closed during my stay without prior notice.

Average
Pros:

The valet service was absolutely impeccable and was the highlight of my stay. The team was attentive, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable. They offered me water, assisted with my luggage, and were especially helpful with my elderly parents.

They were fun, personable, and had fantastic personalities. Their warmth and willingness to help truly made a difference. The valet team really carried the experience for my stay, and I cannot say enough positive things about them. Their service was fantastic and greatly appreciated.

Cons:

The pool was closed because it was being serviced, and there was no concierge available until Thursday, the day I was leaving. The television was initially horrible, although the staff later fixed the issue. The bathroom and balcony also had chipped paint, which made the room feel poorly maintained.

Additionally, breakfast was unavailable on one of the days during my stay. There was also no refrigerator or coffee maker in the room, which was disappointing and inconvenient.

Overall, I was very dissatisfied with the condition and amenities of the hotel and expected a much better experience.

I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the DeSoto again.
Pros:

Stayed for three nights in July while in town for the Phish shows. Excellent location within walking distance of everything. Stones throw to historic squares, few blocks from shopping, 15 minute walk to riverfront, less than 30 minute drive to Tybee Island. Enjoyed the pool and lounge area. Staff was fantastic and accommodated every request. Parking garage nearby but valet worked wonderfully. Great value. Would definitely stay again the next time I visit Savannah.

Cons:

Pros:

The location is wonderful, close to lots of restaurants and interest places. The size of the room is great! This is a hotel with great potential if the service and attention to details were better.

Cons:

Cleanliness was lacking. I had to complain twice during my stay about housekeeping, as either they did an incomplete job or wouldn’t come to the room until the end of the day. The overall cleanliness of the room upon arrival could also be better.
