    Everything about our stay was wonderful! All of the staff were very helpful & offered great dinner recommendations. We arrived on our first night just in time for happy hour. It was nice to enjoy wine & appetizers with other guests. The location is great & there is plenty of parking. We were able to walk to everything. The breakfasts were great. My husband loved that they gave him a second plate of food each morning & the sweets they had out during the day. We stayed in the Sweet Olive room on the 1st floor, which had a little balcony over looking the pool. The linens were amazing! Teresa & all of the staff made us feel at home & we loved little Joey! We would definitely like to return again soon.

    We stayed in the Cotton Exchange room between Christmas and New Years. The Inn goes above and beyond any expectation- They provide alot of extras not found at other inns to name one- the fresh baked dessert each evening at 8 pm. The Inn was welcoming, confortable and helpful. Great location with great parking lot. Our room was fabulous and I highly recommend this Inn to anyone traveling to Savannah.

    Have gone on numerous occasions and have never been disappointed in the least. The rooms are beautiful, the location is great and the entire staff is so friendly and outgoing ----- for me it is home away from home.
