We've stayed at the River Street Inn in Savannah a number of times over the last 15 years. We weren't quite as impressed on our last trip in October 2006.
The reception staff wasn’t particularly helpful or friendly, they seemed distracted and had no interest in us as guests. Our room was so small, there wasn't much space to walk around and there was no surface space to put things on. We had one small window and no balcony. When we were taken to our room, there were linens piled in front of each room in the hallway that hadn't been picked up (and it was afternoon). Parking was in a city ramp a block away.
The positives: This is a historic hotel with a lot of charm, the happy hour canapés were wonderful, the location is right on the Savannah River, the side porch rocking chairs are great, and Huey's restaurant is located on the ground level. If we stay here again, we'll get a larger room with a balcony.
