We have stayed at The Bed and Breakfast Inn three times on different trips around the southern States. We would happily stay there again.
The web site shows the variety of rooms and their unique styles. Clearly much effort has gone into creating a pleasing and different Inn, focused on a pride in the history of Savannah.
The staff have always been helpful and friendly, ready to suggest sights and visits. Rooms have been clean and tidy.
Breakfasts feature a different Southern cooked dish each day with self service cereal, juice and coffee (or tea).
Afternoon tea is a feature with fresh cooked cakes and cookies.
We met the Inn Keeper at breakfast; he recounted historical events in and around Savannah and places to visit.

“Great Getaway!”

The Bed & Breakfast Inn

2 Mar 2008

My husband and I searched a long time for the a B&B to stay at in Savannah. This one was the lowest in price, so I was a little worried about "getting what we paid for." This place surpassed our expectations! It was a great in-town location, easy to get to, and great walking distance from all attractions. We stayed in the Tree Top Suite, which was complete with a full kitchen, living room, and a comfortable bedroom/bath. The breakfast were great, and they were very accomodating of dietary restrictions. We loved meeting people at the afternoon tea! It was the perfect place for a getaway, and we'd highly recommend it!

On a trip with my mother to Savannah (me 30, she 50), this place was perfect for our stay. Not only was the rate amazing compared to other b&bs, but the quality was also surprising. Friendly staff, clean and well-appointed rooms and great location. We even changed rooms after the first night to an upgrade because of the off-day, and got the same price.

So ...
Pros:
Clean rooms
Clean bathrooms
Good breakfast
Nice courtyard and porch for sipping iced tea
Convenient location
Excellent price

Cons:
Because the building is old, the staircase to get to our rooms was very narrow. May be difficult for older folks.
Walls are a bit thin.
Staff was friendly, but I wouldn't trust their restaurant recommendations. Nicely, though, they do have a basket of menus so you can see what's around.

The location of the B&B was good, parking was a real hasstle even though they say they would feed the meters, they never did for us, but they did give us some quarters. If we would have left it to them, we would have surely got a ticket! The rate we were quoted on a "room special" was not what we were charged. Took 4 phone calls to get credit and still not sure if it will come through. This is run like a Hotel. Never met innkeepers if there is one. Not friendly like a regular B&B. Not enough comfortable seating in main dining area and reception area to sit and read or socialize. Breakfast was just OK, nothing special. Had to pay for sodas and water (just like a hotel). For what you pay, you should expect and get more!

At the Bed and Breakfast Inn we try very hard to be good innkeeps and meet and exceed the needs of our guests. We went rooms for about half the cost of the competition, cook a full breakfast to order, bake fresh goodies each day, and pay our guests parking fees. Most often we succeed in meeting our guest's expectations and every now and then we don't. This time we clearly didn't, but will keep trying to do better anyway.

My husband and I, along with my parents, stayed for two nights at The Bed & Breakfast Inn. We were on a little trip down the coastline, and had previously been in Charleston and Hilton Head.
We found this inn in our guidebook while preparing and reading up on the area. It was listed in the "inexpensive" section of the guidebood. I'm not sure what the criteria is for each category, but we paid $149 per night.

My husband and I stayed in the Egyptian room, and my parents were in the Magnolia room. Both rooms are in the main house, up two flights of stairs. The Egyptian room was very nice, quite spacious, and the bathroom was fine. The Magnolia was smaller, and had a weird/ugly 1970's dropped ceiling. It did not have near the ambience that the Egyptian did. Both rooms were very clean.

There were two hard-of-hearing elderly ladies staying below us in the Turkish room. When they did not have their hearing aids in, they talked rather loudly and we could clearly hear their conversations. I don't think noise would ordinarily be a problem, but unfortunately it was for us.

Breakfasts were terrific. Each evening you made your breakfast selection for the next morning, along with your desired eating time. It worked very well. The first morning the chef's special (which was supposed to be fancy scrambled eggs - with cheddar, tomato, etc - had to be cancelled because they did not have tomatoes. Instead, they cooked our eggs to order, along with toast, sausage, and scones. There was cereal, fruit, and coffee/tea/hot chocolate. The second morning the special was belgian waffles with pecan or maple syrup, bacon, and fruit. The alternate option was scrambled eggs. Both mornings the breakfasts were great. My husband - who is kind of a waffle nut - said the waffles were some of the best he's ever had.

The parking was not an issue for us, although the inn goes to great lenghts to remind you to be aware of the street sweeping schedule. We were issued a parking pass which paid for our parking throughout the historic district for the time we were there.

All in all we were very pleased with the Inn. The location is well within walking distance of all the sights in the historic district. We ate lunch at Mrs Wilkes Boarding house. What an incredible lunch! They are only open M-F from 11am to 2pm. You simply line up on the sidewalk, as they seat each table of 8. We had 24 different dishes to eat. Yes, 24! It was wonderful for $15 per person, cash or check only.

The one thing that I wish would have been better was information from the staff. The staff was very friendly, but whenever we asked for suggestions, directions, or reccomendations, they didn't really have much to say. I
