I stayed at the Eliza Thompson House for a couple of days prior to moving downtown to a larger hotel for a conference. My conference hotel was large but generic-- it could have been anywhere. It was more or less the same price with no breakfast and they charged 10 bucks a day for internet. At the Eliza Thompson House, however, I could always feel that I was in historic Savannah. The courtyard was stunningly beautiful, and my room with the 4 poster bed (so high that one needs a step ladder to get on--how fun!) and the period furniture was lovely. Yeah, the air conditioning unit was a little noisy, but it's often like that in other hotels, and at least here I had the option of turning it off and just keeping the lovely ceiling fan on. I enjoyed the breakfast and wine/hors-d'oeuvres. I've stayed at many hotels and believe me.. this food is good. I've had worse and I've been charged extra for it. There were always several items to choose from and they changed daily. And there's nothing like coming back late in the evening after a long day and settling on a couch in a cozy historic parlor with a piece of carrot cake, biscotti, and coffee. I'm heavily technology-dependant, so I really appreciated the fact that there was free wireless internet (there's also a computer in the parlor with a printer) and that the alarm clock included a cd player and mp3 output for my ipod. The location is great, on a quiet street surrounded by historic homes and moss-covered trees . You can easily walk from here to any area in the historic district and the waterfront. There are several historic inns in this area but you have to be careful as some of them are located on moderately busy streets or a few doors down from a tourist hot spot. I understand that parking is tricky here, but that's to be expected in any city center or historic district where the streets are small. Everyone who worked at the house was polite and helpful. They gave me a couple of good restaurant recommendations. The famous wilkes boarding house restaurant is just a few steps away. I highly recommend this hotel.

We have stayed here many times in the last few years. We love it more each time.The Inn is clean and the staff wonderfully friendly. The rooms are full of character and some very spacious.
All rooms are well-equipped and comfortable. The location is fantastic on beautiful Jones street and close to restaurants and coffee shops. If you want romance and a perfect stay in Savannah - stay here! The breakfast is slightly disappointing but perfectly acceptable.

My Husband and I stayed here on our honeymoon. Neither of us have stayed at a bed and breakfast before. We loved our room and we loved going into the parlor during the evening to have wine and meet with the other visitors. We experienced a couple of odd things but nothing anyone could have helped. We believed our room to be haunted. Luckily, we didn't stay in the room that is considered to be haunted, though we were only a couple doors down from it. The breakfast every morning was wonderful and the staff was great. They are about to start renovating which I wouldn't complain about because you could tell it was due for a change. Either way I still recommend staying there. It's just simply beautiful.

Needed to have a relaxing and romantic weekend and found it. The Eliza Thompson House offered a spacious room and great amenities. The bell hop checked us in and gave us a great tour, including the history of the Inn.

Wonderful breakfast with everything fresh and the coffee was great! The staff made us feel as though we had been there before with friendly recommendations on where to eat and things to do.

Loved it!
