Wonderful breakfast, and even wine and cheese social hour. The room was incredible! Comfortable, spacious, and beautifully decorated. Pictures do not do this B&B justice!

The Inn was very quiet and relaxing and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the comfy rocking chairs. One bit of advice that I haven't heard yet is RENT A SCOOTER! We had so much fun riding around the city on a scooter and I would recommend it!

We enjoyed two wonderful evenings at the Dresser Palmer House. Both David and Ron were wonderful and very helpful and accomodating in every way. The hors-d'ouvres and wine every night were beautifully served, complete with candles, and everything was home made and quite tasty. Breakfasts were outstanding as well and served around the dining room table. The front porch was my favorite and I also liked the courtyards in the back of the house. We would definitely return to this wonderful bed and breakfast when in Savannah again!

My husband and I spent several days in Savannah last fall, and the best part of the visit was our stay in the Dresser Palmer House. The rooms are attractive, but what made it for us were the people--the guests and the staff. The staff is not only helpful, but friendly and willing to go the extra mile for their guests. The breakfasts were delicious and the cocktail hour in the evenings which served wine and nibbles was a glorius way to spend a warm, relaxing evening. The last plus I would like to mention is the location---you can walk to almost anywhere in Savannah. We look forward to a return stay,

This is a fantastic B&B that could teach others how to run a true B&B. The breakfasts are homemade and plentiful - -fruit, cereal, muffins, yogurt AND a special every day - -we had crepes the last day and they were wonderful! The evening 'happy hour' is very special. It not only provides wine, cheese, and fruit, but a fantastic time to visit with the other guests to compare the days events. Our room was really nice, we spent five nights and had plenty of room to unpack all our belongings and feel at home. The staff is very helpful and was always available to answer questions or find a location for us. We will certainly visit again and recommend it to others.

This was our first B&B experience, and it will not be our last, especially with them. The accomodations were excellent, and the hospitality was awesome. The breakfasts and evening social were wonderful--tasteful, timely, always fresh and excellent quality . They are convennient, and they go out of their way to be helpful and accomodating, whether dinner reservations, directions, cabs, directions, or whatever. We would highly recommend it to anyone-including family and friends, as well as to stangers. The atmosphere made for easy interaction with other guests, who were also expressing their pleasure with the facility. A solid shout out of support for David and Ron, and Ms. Caroline for making our stay a wonderful experience. It was the perfect stress releiver!

My elderly mother and I stayed at The Dresser-Palmer last weekend. It was very delightful. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast kept us full enough that we were able to eat a late lunch (avoiding crowds) and then too full for dinner. We both enjoyed the wine and cheese socials at 5:30pm. We got to exchange stories with other guests and gathered ideas on places to visit. The staff went over and above themselves to accomodate us in every way. They arranged transportation and travel reservations for us. I definitely would stay here again!

My girlfriend and I had a wonderful weekend stay at the Dresser Palmer House. The house itself is breathtaking and the accomodations were outstanding. The room was very comfortable and had a great fireplace. It was definitely worth the rate for this bed and breakfast. The staff was incredibly nice and went way out of their way to make our stay a great one. They helped us with our luggage and got the fireplace going in our room. The daily breakfast was so complete that we had no need to eat lunch when we were out on the town. When we were interested in an attraction they had the information already at their fingertips. They even arranged a pedicab to pick us up when we needed one. We enjoyed their company very much and they made us feel at home. The key here was great service and they made our stay a relaxing one. I highly recommend Dresser Palmer. It is certainly a gem.
