    This place is incredibly beautiful & a nice alternative to a hotel if you're bringing along your pup!
    Beth F.

    Savannah is my happy place. Whenever life gets crazy, or a special event comes up, it's off to Savannah I go! I'm usually a much better planner, and have my whole agenda figured out, but this time, my birthday crept up and I realized... "HOLY CRAP!!! My birthday is this weekend and I didn't book anything yettttt.... AHHHHHHH!!!!! AND I HAVE NO BOARDING FOR MY PUP!!!!" So, I freaked out a little... not that you could tell from above I'm sure... but I hopped online and did some detective work to see what I could find last minute that was dog friendly. I looked at a few options, and came across the Galloway House. I fell in love. I hopped online and booked the place right then. When we arrived (early..oops.) Jim was super pleasant and told me that we were fine and our place was ready for us. BIG SIGH OF RELIEF. It had dumped rain on us the whole freakin 4.5 hour drive. I was ready to just relax. When you walk up the steps to this place you KNOW you are someplace special. The front porch is so welcoming with it's big comfy chairs and lazily turning fan above to keep you cool. I made a mental note that I was going to come out here to relax later. Jim walked us back through their back yard...OMG. This back yard was like none other!! Exotic plants greet you as you enter and more chairs sitting next to some exquisite Spanish moss trees. I pictured myself painting a masterpiece back here as I saw the sculptured face staring dreamily ahead. This back yard was like a private get away in itself. LOVE!!! He took us up to our apartment, and it was much larger than I expected. He told us all the great places to eat that were in walking distance, and also the places that would allow me to take my 4 pound bruiser of a dog. I opened the fridge and there was cream cheese, butter, bottled water and a BOTTLE OF WINE! I turned around and there were fresh bagels and some nature valley bars! This was so nice of them to do... talk about customer service and awesomeness!! I turned around to the book shelf, and there is a stack of post cards with a beautiful picture of The Galloway House on it. You fill it out, and they mail if for you!!! I seriously walked through this cute little place saying, "Aww.. aw.. awwwwww.... look at this... this is so awesome!!" My boyfriend just nodded in agreeance.. lol The next day we met Keith and he was as nice & helpful as Jim, even while holding back two great danes from wanting to give me some big ol kisses. They think of everything and then some to make you feel so welcome. It was incredible and I lucked out that they had a place with my last minute procrastination. We will definitely come back and Zombie (my pup) even approves!

    At night! The area around the inn felt very safe,even at 1am!

    Had the pleasure of staying on the 3rd floor loft: we will never stay anywhere else except Galloway House from here on! It's GORGEOUS! Super private, the room is huge! There was a ton of water bottles in the fridge and it was stocked for breakfast. Bagels and cream cheese and muffins with yogurt. In addition there was OJ and fresh ground coffee. I felt like i was at my home away from home! Keith was so welcoming and kind. He told us all about the area around the hotel. Within 2 blocks there are restaurants and a brewery. Can't wait to return!

    So much for coffee on the sunporch

    Worst place ever for our honeymoon. Was under construction and NO BREAKFAST. The owners did not disclose there would be construction mess. Incredibly horrible stay ans definitely not worth what we paid. Stay anywhere else.

    We just stayed in the loft , beautiful home ! Everything we could have needed was right there . We got to meet Emma what a sweetheart !! We were met ( early) our host who went over the best local places ! We went to as many as we could in our short stay - they were all fab . So nice to have those recommendations from a local . We are looking forward to our next visit , and a return to the Galloway house

    I stayed at the Galloway House for a couple days this weekend. Ii took advantage of the 2-bedroom apartment and it was an exceptional selection. The owners were very helpful and pleasant. The apartment was extremely large and very comfortable. I was able to secure the two nights at a deep discount in hotels.com which made this option more than competitive with local hotels. I would definitely recommend the Galloway House as an option to consider when trekking to Savannah.

    This place is absolutely immaculate and beautiful. When me and my friends checked in, the fridge was stocked with yogurts, waters, and bagels & cream cheese. There was a chilled bottle of wine waiting for us. It felt like a dream, and well worth the money. I would not hesitate to return to this haunted beauty!

    Our bedroom was the top floor of the guest house.

    The epitome of southern hospitality and hands down the best place to stay at in Savannah, Georgia…read more From the moment you arrive, you are greeted by the most beyond amazing staff along with being offered ice cold water and an easy check in process. The staff was very accommodating throughout our stay. Being that I lived in Savannah 20 years ago, I have bragged about how incredible Savannah's hospitality is and the staff here definitely showed up. Huge thank you to Joey, Jackie, Cindi, and Darnell or as I refer to them as the dream team for making our stay so incredible. I hope they promote you all into management. Our room was absolutely beautiful and comfortable. Honestly, one of the best beds I have ever slept on. Perfect if you have jet lag. I love that the toiletries have peppermint so you repeal bugs, which is a must in the south. Great alternative if you forget the bug spray. There's a coffee bar, restaurant, and a speakeasy bar that was Alice and wonderland themed. In the afternoon you are offered champagne, which is such a nice touch. They have bikes available to sightsee rather than walking. This hotel is close to everything in case you want to walk and explore shops, dining, etc. Overall, this hotel is beautifully decorated and charming. Something Savannah is known for. I highly recommend this hotel. Especially because it's pet friendly!

My AirPods were stolen by the staff here on the 17th. While I finally recovered them on the 29th, it was entirely due to my own efforts, not the hotel's. I had to file a police report and track the devices on the Find My app, watching them travel to a private residence before making their way back to the hotel days later. Getting answers from management was incredibly difficult. I was repeatedly promised callbacks--first at 3:00 PM, then at 4:00 PM--only to be completely ghosted for an entire day. Management only took the situation seriously after I posted my initial negative review. Once the review was live, the interim manager called immediately, offering 20k Hilton points as a goodwill gesture and claiming it would cover a night at "most places." Wanting to cooperate and focus on getting my property back, I agreed to take the review down. The poor communication continued with the shipping process. Management promised to overnight my AirPods the next morning, but the Find My tracking showed the AirPods still at the hotel until I followed up yet again to ask why it hadn't been dropped off at FedEx. It has now been a week since the points were promised, and they still have not arrived. When I followed up, the interim manager claimed the system takes two days to process them - meaning the request was never actually submitted when promised last weekend. Furthermore, the information provided about the loyalty program was incorrect: I was told the points do not expire, but Hilton corporate policy states they expire after 24 months of inactivity. The valuation is also incredibly misleading; 20k points does not cover a night at "most places," especially considering a single night at this exact property costs 66k points. While the staff member Michael was pleasant to deal with, the interim management team simply said whatever was necessary to get a negative review removed, with zero genuine follow-through. I highly advise travelers to keep a close eye on their belongings and be wary of management's promises.

You can hear your neighbors :) It's crazy how the elevator was being serviced DURING BREAKFAST one morning and everyone had to use the stairs. It was especially bad because someone in my party needed to use a walker due to their bad knees. We had to carry the walker up and down the stairs and they were literally crawling to go up and down. I asked one of the male staff about it in the front desk and they said that there was nothing they can do and that the elevators will be both back up at 8:30 AM. We went out and took a stroll, came back around 9:00 AM and the elevators were not yet fixed. It was just ridiculous! Later on in the day, they managed to get ONE of the elevators working :) The next morning, we went to breakfast at 7 AM and everything is broken! Only one elevator is working, there is no coffee at all, no pancakes, and even the juice machine got hit! It was honestly insane. If you go on vacation, just go somewhere else.

The lobby is sensory overload when you first enter it. It's colorful with silver dinosaur bones and pterodactyls overhead. I kid you not! If that wasn't impressive enough, there are humongous crystal geodes on display. Some of the were even larger than me. There's an entrance to an African themed bar which served African inspired dishes, which I'd never had before. All this may seem like it shouldn't go together, but it does. The rooms were stylishly elegant. The bathroom is spacious and well stocked with bathrobes, slippers and quality toiletries. The beds and pillows were plush and cozy. Since we were there for a conference, the ample work area was appreciated. There is a chaise lounge right next to the window where I watched steamboats and cargo ships sail by on the Savannah River. The location was predictably right next to the river. I spent a whole day just walking on the River Walk with a variety of restaurants, dessert shops, candy stores, bars, cafes and souvenir shops. While it was geared towards tourists, which I was, I didn't have to go far from my hotel to get a taste of Savannah. There are historical buildings complete with the moss covered tress and cobblestone streets (which sounds quaint until you walk on it without twisting an ankle). Coming from hotel industry, I can appreciate a well run 5 Diamond hotel. While the stay was extra ordinary, there were a few things I wasn't fond of. The hotel has 3 parts to it. We were staying in the 3 Muses, which is a separate building and bit of a walk from the lobby. The walk isn't an easy one, which was an issue for my elderly father. Since we visited in the summer and the weather was hot and humid, walking out of the airconditioned lobby to trek over to the 3 Muses was less than ideal with my glasses fogging up at each entry and exit. But these were minor hiccups in an otherwise fantastic stay.

I would think that quiet hours for the pool would be 9 PM, but apparently they aren't. I believe they are 10 PM. There was a group of what appeared to be teenagers screaming nonstop for about three hours straight. I don't know, if I was staff at a hotel, I would probably tell them to keep it down after 8 PM, but that's just me. It sounds like the rooms on the other side of the hotel are really noisy as well, so I guess moving and wouldn't have done much. The valet took a really long time in the morning. I wouldn't have minded that if they would have told us in the beginning, but when you check in, they tell you to give them five minutes to retrieve your vehicle. It took the guy 20 minutes to respond to my request (I was first in the queue) and I had to go walk down and grab the car myself because I needed to leave immediately. It sounds like he was managing two properties, so not his fault. When not knowing where the valet was, the front desk wasn't helpful. She kind of dismissed the issue. She did end up calling him, but she didn't act like she cared about our situation at all in the beginning. It actually prompted us to take action and another gentleman waiting for his car went and looked in the valet garage to see if somebody was even there because he was having the same issues. Anyways, my first and last time staying at this hotel. Too many other options in the area. I really need a reliable valet, unfortunately.

    I was honestly frustrated by my stay here, especially after reading past reviews…read more For years, guests have mentioned the truck noise, and management keeps replying with the same line about "sharing feedback with the appropriate teams." After staying here, it's clear nothing has actually changed, which is disappointing. I was on the 5th floor facing Bay Street, which turns out to be a major truck route near the interstate. The AC unit was loud, so I turned it off since it was cool outside. That's when the real issue became obvious. There's a traffic light right by the hotel, so trucks constantly stop, idle, and then accelerate again. The noise was incredibly loud, to the point where it felt like I was standing right on the sidewalk. Sleeping was difficult. It also made me wonder about room assignments. If this has been a known issue for years, you'd think they'd avoid placing guests with status in those rooms. A quieter-facing room would have made a big difference. There were a few other issues: * Couldn't access the pool or jacuzzi with the digital key (only the gym worked) * The jacuzzi itself looked worn and in need of refinishing * No complimentary water in the room or lobby, which is surprising given the Savannah heat (though there were cookies and coffee downstairs) * Toilet seat was oddly shaped and uncomfortable * Bedside lamp outlets were loose and didn't hold a charger securely * The clock on the nightstand was extremely bright at night with no way to dim it On the positive side, the lobby has a nice fireplace, and I appreciated the bathroom nightlight. All the staff I encountered seemed very young, under 30, which made me wonder if most roles here are entry-level. I couldn't help but notice a consistent pattern in who was working which positions, while visiting the south. Overall, the biggest issue is the noise and the lack of real action on something that's been raised repeatedly over the years.
