    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Despite the oppressive sultry heat of Savannah ;) our room was cool, secluded, and truly timeless. Our breakfast was the only non-awesome part. While delicious, it consisted of fruit and quiche only, which didn't feel particularly southern. The quiche was great (sausage, pear, and onion), but I was hoping for biscuits or grits. We will definitely stay again.

    Shannon at the Dresser Palmer House did an excellent job of taking care of my husband and me. When we checked in on Friday, we asked for recommendations for dinner letting her know that we were tired and wanted someplace near by. She immediately knew where to send us and made the reservation for us for an early dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant just down on the next block. During our entire 2 night stay Shannon was always helpful -even running out and buying and installing a battery for our thermostat. The breakfasts were very good. There is also a late afternoon happy hour with wine and appetizers. It was wonderful to sit out on the front porch in comfortable rocking chairs and talk to other guests. My husband and I travel a lot and we keep a list of places we want to go back to. The Dresser Palmer House is definitely on the list.

    Stayed in the Wisteria for 3 nights. Absolutely fabulous room, very private and quiet. Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance, straight down Abercorn or Bull Street to the river. The staff was wonderful and volunteered to call a trolley shuttle and get our tickets online while we were getting our tour of the house. We will definitely stay here again... and the french toast for breakfast was the best I've ever had.
