My wife and I recently spent 8 nights at the Ballastone -- it was terrific. It is a warm comfortable property with a very attentive staff, delicious food and a feel of history. From the moment Jasmine greeted us at the front door we felt welcome. The entire staff made sure our every need was met. The included perks were... More

We stayed four nights, and two things made this visit estra special: (1) the STAFF, all of whom were welcoming, helpful, attentive and knowledgeable and (2) the quality of the full breakfasts, with a changing menu each day (or basically the same if you requested that). Most of the rooms were beautifully decorated and spacious. Ours, "Hannah" was relatively small... More

Stayed at the Ballastone for our wedding anniversary weekend. I gave this trip to my husband at Christmas and we had been looking forward to our stay in Savannah for months. The Ballastone Inn should have been the highlight. Staff is friendly; especially Amy. Her referral to "Dinner and A Cemetery" was great. She also staged a DVD player in... More

My husband and I spent 3 nights in the Ballastone. It was marvelous. From the moment we entered the front door, we were treated like guests in a private home. Everyone of the staff was outgoing, friendly, and eager to make sure our trip was perfect. The variety in rooms provided fun choices as each room was tastefully decorated in... More

We stayed for three nights during a recent visit to Savannah. Our vist started well with a really warm greeting, assistance with luggage and parking for our car. Our room - Mulbery Tulips exceeded our expectations. It was extremely large, well equipped with large very comfortable bed. The only slight downside was that it was a corner room on the... More

The Ballastone was lovely, historic and comfortable. We stayed in the Savannah room (street level) because it had two beds (twins) and found the room to be very comfortable, roomy and quiet. The sheets were the softest I have ever slept on. I don't think the room had individual temp control but the temp was perfect for us. We had... More

We spent a week at the Ballastone Inn and could not have been more pleased! Savannah is a wonderful city and the Ballastone was close walking distance from everything we wanted to see and do. The staff was exceptional- helping us plan our tours and dining options. Breakfast was a treat outside. Can't say enough good about the very helpful... More

Having previously seen their website, I must admit that I was a tad disappointed upon arrival. The lobby was charming, loved having use of an elevator (usually unavailable in an historic old building), but found our "superior" accommodations to be somewhat shabby at $300 a night. The rug under the end of the bed (shown in the website) was missing,... More

We stayed here for an anniversary trip and were truly spoiled by the sumptuous surroundings, the delicious food, the warm hospitality and the easy access to everything in Savannah that we wished to stroll to. Ours was the Mulberry Tulips suite with the little writing desk in the corner. Although we were on the street, we were not bothered by... More

A disappointment. A 4-diamond B&B at 4-diamond prices, with no bathroom ventilation, the bed fell down in the middle of the night because the slats shifted, the room was overcrowded with furniture and the single bed are European - very narrow, the breakfast was adequate but hardly gourmet, the tissue box was empty when we came back at the end...
