For those looking to enjoy Savannah, I'd recommend looking into the Marshall House. Within the historic district, which is easily walkable, this B&B inn is 3 short blocks to River Street. It is also located on Broughton, which is a decorative shopping street that always has lots going on.

Sometimes we stay right on River Street, but more and more hotels are super pricey for that. The Marshall House is a 5-minute walk, an easy walk, and yet we don't have to pay ultra money to be close to all the entertainment.

The staff is always helpful and friendly. There is a restaurant and bar (45 Bistro) attached to the hotel, so we found it nice that we could come back and have a nightcap in the bar right in our hotel.

Folks may want to get on one of the upper floors as, being an older building, there are some creaks and noises when people walk. When I stay on the 4th floor, this is never a problem.

Great place. Unless it's some exclusive or super expensive weekend event, I always look to stay here first.

We loved this hotel - it was charming and had an excellent location within walking distance of everything in the historic district. The staff at the front desk and the doormen were extremely helpful in making suggestions, reservations, and getting a cab for us. We stayed in a room that had access to the porch on the 2nd floor which we loved using after we came back to the room at night. Only complaint is that the locks on the windows were broken so that was a bit of a concern for me.

The Pros - beautifully decorated lobby, great location (2 blocks from riverfront), lots of conveniences and amenities of a hotel but still a B&B, staff is very friendly and helpful, lots of charm, comfortable room and beds, room decorated nicely, a full service restaurant
The Cons- We had a nice king size room but it was in the back overlooking a parking garage and very dark. Had no idea if it was sunny out or not. Bathrooms are vintage charming but could use some repair and cleaning, breakfast room furnishings and decor need some work and the ambiance really falls short here. Stained and torn chairs, vinyl tablecloths, dirty carpet.
Overall the experience was good here. IMO the good outweighs the bad.

What a lovely stop on our way to Florida for the holidays! Only regret we did not stay 2 nights. Loved the historic ambiance, the wine and cheese in the evening, the breakfast, room decor...also excellent value for the hotel quality. Staff super gracious and attentive!
