4.6 out of 5A must stay for a great Savannah experience
May 09, 2013
My boyfriend and I stayed here for a wedding weekend. It is a beautiful home with a charming exterior and landscaping. The total experience was great. From the homemade cookies that greeted us, to the delicious Southern breakfasts, the cozy rooms, and great service, I couldn't have asked for a better weekend. It is conveniently located to pretty much anything you could want to do or see in Savannah. It was so peaceful, and I loved sitting on the rockers, having a glass of wine.

The Dresser Palmer House was absolutely amazing. The facility was clean and incredibly beautiful. The staff was wonderful. They were more than willing to do anything from making reservations at a restaurant, to giving tips, or telling Savannah stories. I felt as though we had known them our whole lives. The breakfast was fantastic. I was comfortable and more than pleased with our stay. I would recommend the Dresser-Palmer a hundred times over. We can't wait to go back and stay there again!

5 out of 5Warm, Welcome and Inviting
March 25, 2013
The staff at the Dresser Palmer makes you feel welcome from the minute you arrive to the last steps as you leave. If you are looking for a place that has multiple places to sit out side and enjoy your morning coffee or late night cocktail then this is the relaxing place for you. The inside is amazingly beautiful but I preferred the long front porch lined with chairs to look out at the other houses in the Historic District.

Beautiful B&B within walking distance to so many sites in the Savannah historical district. Very clean! Wonderful young unkeeper who admittedly loves to cook. Food definitely attested to that! Enjoyed the daily late afternoon wine and cheese social. My mother and I chose the perfect place to stay while visiting Savannah.

We were given two nights for a Christmas present by our children. We had such a good time we wished we had more children so we could have stayed longer.
4.8 out of 5A Great Savannah B&B
February 11, 2013
My husband and I stayed at the DPH during our Savannah trip for his 30th birthday. The room was nice and clean and the service was very personal and welcoming. We really enjoyed the complimentary breakfasts and wine and cheese hours. Also, the building itself is really beautiful and romantic. Also, we were walking distance to almost everywhere we went that weekend. I would definitely recommend staying at this B&B!
