As for us, we'll probably go back to where we stayed for Christmas.īeing an avid B&B traveler, I must say this was the worst B&B I have ever experienced and I have stayed at B&B's around the world. If you don't have dietary restrictions, and you find a good price (perhaps 1/2 what we paid), then I can still recommend this Inn. I think a 3-star review is fair, because the negatives and the positives cancel each other out. He also wanted to serve us food, but unfortunately, there wasn't much for us to eat. He also worked the social hours and made sure our glasses were full. He then took our bags upstairs to our room even before we had been completely checked in. When we drove up to the inn that Friday afternoon, he was standing outside and immediately came over to our car and asked if we needed help with our luggage. I'd like to single out one staff member in particular, Kevin, who was friendly and assisted us throughout our stay. The property itself is very nice, the neighborhood can't be beat, and the staff are friendly and go out of their way to try to make your stay a positive one. And while I don't necessarily expect restaurants or B&Bs to cater to our dietary needs, they shouldn't give the impression that they will accommodate us if they have no intention of doing so.īut that's enough negativity. Augustine and last Christmas in Savannah, and in both instances, the chefs prepared special entree's for us or otherwise ensured that we would have a selection of items to eat. This was disappointing to us because we had stayed at B&B Inns earlier this year in St. Although we each had some options for breakfast, there was virtually nothing for either of us to eat during the evening social happy hour or later dessert hour. Although not a medical dietary restriction, I prefer to maintain a Vegan diet. My wife has Celiac Disease, so must eat gluten-free. The other aspect of our visit that was disappointing was the fact that when we made our reservations, and again just days before our arrival, the Inn sent us an email asking if we had any dietary restrictions or preferences. It wasn't until we checked in and looked out on the courtyard from the parlor of the Eliza Thompson House that she realized that the courtyard belonged to the adjoining property, while the courtyard of the Eliza Thompson House was completely bereft of any Halloween decorations. Additionally, the property next door had their entire courtyard decorated with ghosts, goblins, skeletons, etc., but there was absolutely nothing done to the courtyard of the Inn's property (or pretty much anywhere else in the house, for that matter.) This was actually kind of comical because when we first drove up to the Inn and found a parking spot right in front of the Eliza Thompson House, my wife noticed the courtyard and got excited to see the decorations. The front desk didn't even have any candy when trick-or-treaters came by early Sunday evening. We were completely disappointed that the Inn didn't even seem to acknowledge Halloween, much less make a big deal about it. Unfortunately, in this case, it definitely was not. But money is secondary if the experience is worth the price. All told, the charge was $1,514 for 3 nights. Not to mention an additional $20/night as an "amenities" fee. We did so even though the room was going for $479/night (before taxes) for both Friday & Saturday night of Halloween weekend, and another $309 for Sunday night. My wife and I had watched Youtube videos discussing the "haunted" aspect of the Inn, especially the R Bruce Room, so thought this would be a perfect place to spend Halloween. TLDR: A nice place, but vastly overpriced.
