My wife and I stayed here in June 2007. The hotel staff were very helpful, the rooms were pretty decent (with some interesting furniture) and the location was pretty good. For those interested in historical places to stay, this will be ideal. more

Stayed for a week - enjoyed fabulous breakfasts and the staff were really friendly - in a sincere way, not artifically so. Highly recommended. more

The Ballastone Inn is a reason to go back to Savannah, Georgia over and over again. The perfect Victorian mansion is exquisite... decor, food, service, accommodations. The rooms are LARGE, suites are luxurious. The location is perfect, on the edge of the historic district. We LOVED it! more

My husband and I spent 2 nights this past weekend at the Ballastone Inn. The best features are the beautifully decorated downstairs common rooms and the friendly and helpful staff. Unfortunately, we initially booked the first floor room, "Low Country". While it is on the first floor, it feels more like a basement room. The courtyard is down the hall,... more

Spent two nights at the Ballastone last week. The inn is charming. We had one of the smaller rooms ("Hannah"), but it was perfect - beautifully decorated, quaint and cozy. The service was excellent and the breakfasts were wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay at the Ballastone. more

The Ballastone Inn was the perfect venue for a girls weekend for us 40 to 60 somethings. The owners were able to put us in adjacent rooms so we could huddle up in the evenings to renew our friendship and share stories. Each room is wonderfully decorated and the beds and bed linens are the best I've ever experienced. The... more

We recently stayed at the Ballastone Inn on our honeymoon. From our first greeting, to assistance with our luggage, to free room upgrade, to luxurious bed, spacious clean, beautifully decorated suite, and to a delicious breakfast served in your choice of 3 rooms or even outside in a garden, it was all enchanting. In addition, they gave wonderful directions and... more

My wife and I spent our anniversary in Savannah last week staying 3 nights at the Ballastone Inn. It is undoubtedly the nicest small inn I have stayed in by far. Our room, Rhett's Retreat, was small but comfortable, and very quiet. I certainly enjoyed the jacuzzi tub after a day of walking the historical district of Savannah. The inn... more

My experience is always wonderful at the Ballastone. This is my third time to stay there and the whole experience is wonderful! All the individuals are so nice, polite and helpful. They will do anything you ask within reason to make your stay more comfortable and enjoyable. It truly is my home away from home. My daughter is a student... more
