Fodor's Review:
The interior of this 1817 converted warehouse is so lavish that it's hard to believe the five-story building once stood vacant in a state of disrepair. Today the 86 guest rooms are filled with antiques and reproductions from the era of King Cotton. French-style balconies overlook both River Street and Bay Street. One floor has charming souvenir and gift shops, and the elevator takes you directly down to the buzz and activity of the waterfront.

Too Pricey for the Atmosphere Only
Posted by dsaintknight from Kentucky on 2/22/07
My husband and I recently got back from a three night stay at the River Street Inn. The view out our window was terrific, but that was about it. Although I understand that the Inn is historic, the upkeep of this beautiful Inn is terrible. In our room, there were holes in the walls, wallpaper peeling, and dirty cracked grout in the bathroom. We also had a faucet in the bathroom that not only dripped, but had a constant stream of drips. We had to shut the door to be able to sleep. The table in the bathroom was in pitiful condition even for a supposed antique. Consindering we paid over $500 for our three nights, I was VERY disappointed. The man at the front desk took a phone call from a guest at the Inn while we were checking in and he acted like it was an imposition to take her call, going so far to make a snide comment to us about the guest after he got off the phone. On our next trip to Savannah, I would definitely try a different hotel.

My husband and I stayed at the River Street Inn and had it not been for our rooms immaculate view, we would have had a lousy time. I loved that the building was old which was great but I did not like that my bed sheets looked unclean and did not smell too fresh. All of the employees walked around like they were on the verge of suicide. They were not happy to be there and it showed on their faces. With exception of the bartender, nobody ever smiled. The service stunk but the view from our room was amazing...... Some advice for management, drug test all of your employees regularly and hire some clean cut, friendly staff.
