Freezing Cold Rooms

The hotel was as pictured! Very nice, clean, beds are super UBER comfortable, so much so that I came home & ordered one! It smelled AMAZING, staff were top tier, coffee & teas were an incredible touch. They have complimentary parking. There was one huge & one minor drawback! The house is NOT SEALED!!! The windows, DRAFTY!! The door to the outdoor space DRAFTY!!! ! My room got down 67 both nights. I stayed cold while there.... so cold I had to leave 2 days early. I was given a space heater, but of course it shut off after so long & I am certain left me cold longer while sleeping than I know, I know that because I woke up both mornings freezing & with bad joint pain from the cold. Also the toilets are really low. Yes I went during a time that was very cold & they had snow BUT, this bed & breakfast is in Georgia, it gets cold EVERY year in Georgia, there is absolutely no reason a well over $300 a night hotel alternative should be uncomfortable to that level in cold weather. I was uncomfortable (physically) for two days. I booked 3rd party, so no refund was supposed to be given.They did approved a refund for the balance of the stay, but in truth, I should not been charged anyhing considering their inability to control temps to that degree. They can seal that house up & still preserve it's historic look & feel. Staff, awesome, beds are a dream... but, I won't go back!! If it's that cold in winter, whew, Ga summers are likely HOT, HOT!! That's a no for me!

We loved our stay at the Bellweather Inn. The historic charm of the inn was everywhere but the modern conveniences were not lacking. The bathroom was well appointed and laid out, the queen size bed was comfortable and the linens were perfectly soft. The included breakfast was delicious with many options, including gluten free amd vegetarian. We would absolutely stay again.

Amazing stay in Savannah!

We loved the Bellwether! The house is beautiful and the staff are amazing. We stayed in suite 14 off the patio and had the perfect amount of interaction and privacy. My husband kept raving about how much he enjoyed the stay. Every night there is complimentary brut and the bar stays open until 11. The location is perfect. The Bellwether also offers breakfast and adternoon tea amd sandwiches. We didn't partake in either but the next time we will because we plan on returning. If you are hesitant to book a suite, dont be, just do it!

We had an enjoyable stay at the Bellwether House even though we had a hurricane hit while we were there. The staff was very accommodating, and even let us book a second room due to a power outage at our daughter's house. Loved the extra touches of champagne, cookies, tea time and breakfast. The friendly staff was the best!
