We spent four nights in the beautiful Oglethorpe Room and from the moment we entered the foyer and hallway (don't ever change the period wallpaper please), we felt as if we were staying in one of Savannah's museum houses! The warm welcome, and wonderful help throughout from Katherine and Stephen was a huge plus, as was the breakfast. And assortment of just from the oven muffins, scones and pastries, fresh fruit, cereal and more. Coffee and tea available 24 hours along with tiny pastries like pecan pies. Friday night they host a cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres. We were there when the azaleas were blooming and the view from our window out to Oglethorpe Street was lovely. Very comfortable bed, updated bath and throughout antiques that suggested a family that had been there for many generations. We will be back! Note also there is an elevator. We liked the staircase with its view of the Low House courtyard next door. Many thanks, Ballastone!!…

In a great central location within easy walking distance to anywhere in that locale, the appointments and furnishings are superb. That is enhanced by a very helpful, friendly, and efficient staff, from the front desk to housekeeping to the owner. You interact with all of them as the B&B has 16 rooms. And you have an opportunity to interact with the guests as well at the continental breakfast with excellent pastries, freshly chopped fruit, granola, and more. It has definitely reached the point that some touch ups are in order, although there's so much to appreciate in this beautiful home that these are small blemishes in a very appealing package.

Our first visit to Savannah and we couldn’t have picked a more suitable, comfortable and charming place to stay for four nights (Saturday through Tuesday). We had the Scarborough Fair room which is a front corner room. It spacious and perfect for our length of stay. Bed was very comfortable! We took advantage of the continental breakfast every morning. Delicious pastries, fresh fruit and yogurt as well as bagels and English muffins. We enjoyed mingling with other guests in the parlor and bar room. Steve makes a great cocktail. Just ask him to do his magic. Kathy was a great hostess as well and helped us with suggestions for tours. Ballastone is perfectly located. We never had a car and didn’t need one. We Uber’d to Tybee Island for a day and rented bikes and we Uber’d to Bonaventure Cemetery for a tour there. We hope to come back to Savannah sometime soon and will look nowhere else to stay. We loved it all!…

The inn is beautiful, furnished and decorated with antiques, and the personnel are all so gracious and helpful. Katherine and Stephen bent over backwards for us. The breakfast features outstanding pastry hand made by the chef, Ruby. (The Madelines were to die for!) We felt totally pampered and at home. I look forward to going back!-

Not to be outdone the Ballastone Inn staff is hands-down, the best around. We were fortunate to have a very happy celebration take place during our stay, and the staff went above and beyond to make an even more memorable experience. Katherine and everyone who works at the Ballastone Inn are exceptional and they have made us forever guests!! Thank you for everything! Richard & Katie

Lovely inn. Central location is very useful in this walkable city. Very nice to drop in throughout the day to recharge before going back out. Rooms lovely and tasteful. The BEST pastries and cookies made by the famous Miss Ruby. You won’t be disappointed !

Our experience at the Ballastone was fantastic. The Inn is centrally located to great restaurants and tourist attractions. I felt that the staff tried hard to make sure we had all if our needs met and made us feel extremely welcome. The welcoming items (free wine and cheese) were an added bonus and the room we stayed in was as nice as any we’ve been in.

I have to admit, when I read some of the earlier reviews I was concerned about the level of staff service. I have traveled all over the country and staff shortages are an issue literally everywhere. Well, Steven has taken over the management of Ballastone and I will never stay any place else in Savannah. And I have stayed in lovely inns all over this town but the staff at the Ballastone went so beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time that it was awesome. My suite was gorgeous and stocked fresh every day without even asking and the front desk crew made sure our every beed was met. breakfast baked specialities are to die for every morning along with fresh fruit and more. Happy Hour on Friday and Saturday was delightful and they let you bring in all the wines you want and even keep the, chilled in buckets!…
