My husband and I needed a weekend getaway and chose DeSoto. So glad we did. We had and excellent room on the 13th floor with an amazing view. The staff was wonderful. The from was clean and comfortable and mostly quiet. The only issue we had was someone across the hall from us letting their room door slam at 7am both mornings of our stay. Not the hotels fault but made sleeping in a bit difficult. I would stay here again if I’m ever in Savannah.
