Exceptional

Great BNB, Weak Breakfast

Liked: Quaint hotel with 16 rooms. Comfortable beds, easy access, and friendly staff.
Disliked: The reservation includes a “free breakfast.” The breakfast was pretty weak, even by cheap hotel standards. Nothing but heated up carb-type breakfast food and very limited fruit and yogurt offering. We stayed here partially because of the breakfast, and this part of our stay was highly disappointing.

Pleasant but less than I...

Liked: The location and staff were great.
Disliked: The room was so much smaller than it looked online and the breakfast was not very good.

Exceptional

Loved but need attention to...

Liked: That its a historical place with lots of charm!
Disliked: Our room was nice, but needed a lot of attention to details on finishing up Repairs, several items that need to be completed. The toilet was running in the our bathroom and no cold water in our sink, the bed was not made up properly and the floor was dirty upon arrival. The back door to our room was very hard yo open and close and lock.

Friendly hotel with some nice...

Liked: Continental breakfast was good although mostly the same each day. The location was fair, usually a good walk to most of the attractions. The staff especially Paul were very friendly. The afternoon tea and champagne were added touches.
Disliked: We were disappointed that we had not been pre-warned that our room was in the basement. If we had known we would have upgraded.

The Bellwether is a special...

Liked: The Bellwether is an amazing old inn. It's very comfortable, great staff, the front porch is so nice to sit and have a glass of wine or cup of coffee. I love the bed. The sheets are the softest I've ever slept in. Bathroom is remodeled and very nice.
Disliked: The room I stayed in was in the basement like area. I didn't feel comfortable had there been a fire, no regress window. They had a fan going to help with moisture - it's really humid in Savannah, but it was so loud I had to turn it off. The rooms in the back basement are are just not as nice.

Charming, enjoyable stay, but would...

Liked: The property itself is very charming, old, yet modern updates. The room was clean and our bed was comfortable. The staff was very accommodating.
Disliked: *Late review for St. Patrick’s Day weekend 2025* I specifically made reservations with the Bellwether house due to its charm, and the raving reviews about their gourmet breakfast. I even reconsidered rebooking a couple weeks prior but kept our reservation because of that. Very disappointingly we were told when we checked in that the cooked gourmet breakfast was discontinued about two weeks prior. Needless to say we were not happy, if that was the case, they should have notified those that had booked in advance that this was occurring. It’s too bad that they made this change which seemed like their signature attraction. Honestly, our stay could have been a 9 at least, but unfortunately, we will not stay there again considering the cost and a comparable stay closer to the riverfront.

Very good

Liked: Lovely B&B in old mansion in great part of Savannah.
Disliked: Stairs. Temp control in room. Lack of storage.

Excitingly Disappointed....

Liked: We enjoyed the atmosphere and BLAIR was the absolute BEST!!!! Could not have asked for better service!!!!When making the arrangements there was a lot of communication that was very much appreciated!!!
Disliked: Breakfast was very disappointing and not good at all. Disappointed that it is part of the price that was not used.The one room that was booked was not the room that I received and that was a huge disappointment!!!! The bathroom was beyond small, the toilet was practically under the sink and the lighting was horrible!!!! I was in unit 15 where the bathtub was in the bed area and the bathroom that I viewed, the bathtub was in the bathroom... Had I have known that I would have upgraded. It is hard to utilize Tea Time and 6:00pm drink when you are out and about all day, so that was disappointing since it is part of the price. Also, the bathroom was not cleaned well at all, there was toothpaste on the walls, cobwebs and filth in the vents, not to mention the bugs, definitely need an exterminator!!! Bathroom walls need to be redone, seems like wallpaper may have been painted over, lots of bubbles on the wall that need to be fixed.I do not mind paying but I think it is extremely overpriced, I expected more cleanliness and especially expected the room that I booked.
