The room and lobby are on good condition.. However there were few items that cahsed to lower the grade. 1. Elevators were supper slow and yiu end uo waiting a lot if time. We prqctically had to use the stairs most if the time. 2. The water flow is the shiwer us very slow 3. The insulation in the room is poor so you near noise whenever someone else uses the water talks 4. The windows to the street have poor insulation and there is a lot of noise coming from the street. 5. We came a bit early and were charged extra 30 dollars for early check in. Never in my life i was charged fir early checking if the hotel has the rooms ready. It is just beeing greedy. 6. The staff at the hotel restuant was very mjch nkt freindly

The hard product here, the room itself, is actually pretty nice. The hotel was recently renovated, and it shows in the room. The lobby area is large, but could use some work. The real issues are the service. The hotel bugs you endlessly before check in to fill in an online pre-check. When I got to check in, the hotel staff completely ignored this. When I pointed this out to the hotel staff, I received a rude response. The one service request I made, for more pillows, was not made the first time. The hotel tries to nickel and dime you for any late or early check-in check out. The gym could seriously use some work. There was only one working treadmill, one of the exercise balls was broken, and the space is very small.

The room was clean but the bed was horrible. Didn't sleep much the got up to sit in an uncomfortable chair to keep my shoulders from hurting. The bathroom was not good. I could not open or shut the door or sitting on the toilet. The tub had chips out of it. The towel rack fell when I reached for the towel. The hot water pulsed on and off during the shower. The elevators only 1 worked. A horrible room at any price.

Great location and amenities

An amazing experience! Great staff, clean, comfortable rooms, excellent views, in walking distance of just about everything. DeSoto rocks! Nice bar, restaurant, coffee bar, etc. we will be back to try the spa next time. Side note: The pool deck could be a little larger and/or no children after 8pm. If you want to relax in the water without the noise and getting splashed by children this is not the resort pool for you! 7am-10pm the pool is full of munchkins in the summertime! I love that this hotel caters to families and couples alike, I also love kids with 3 of my own, but the hotel would do well to have a separate pool/splash pad. Rumor has it they once had a rooftop pool, not sure if this is true, but having two distinct areas would be great. The woman trying to meditate with Tai Chi probably would have appreciated a separate space as well. Still, a Savannah favorite.
