Charming

The Bellweather was very cool. Its an old place made into hotel rooms. We had room 3 which was spacious, comfy bed, awesome tub, the shower was like stepping into the department of mysteries. I loved it. However it was not a quiet room. Noise carries in old places and general noise wasnt a problem but the room backed the wall of the bar and coffee area so you could hear the blender or grinder. Also the back patio was out the bathroom window. So it wasn't terrible but for room 3 just FYI, still a great room. The staff was great, all very nice people. The hotel had breakfast, tea time, champagne toast, they made coffee for us all day. It was such a cool place with so many fun details and amenities. We walked everywhere day, night and felt completely safe. I would 100% stay there again.

Lovely place to stay. Parking is not at the property which could be challenging for some. We did not receive the Expedia VIP gift…not a big deal. Colby was very efficient and pleasant.

Always quaint and comfortable. The only difference this visit is there was a change in ownership and they’ve gotten rid of their chefs, so the breakfast isn’t homemade nor are the tea bites.

It was nice. It was more like a bed and breakfast than a boutique hotel. Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected by the description. It was a little pricey for what it was, in my opinion. The location was perfect because I wanted to stay in a residential area. Savannah is easy to navigate and walkable. It’s a beautiful town.

Great part of town, nice breakfast and teatime plus coffee’s and teas offered all day. The softest sheets ever and comfortable king sized bed. Bathroom was lovely. Few things didn’t work in our room like main light, safe, fan in bathroom. There’s a cafe/bakery a few blocks away called Mate Factor that is darling, friendly and delicious and it was my favorite place on the whole trip.

Enjoyed our stay here very much, breakfast was a little on the vegan side which is fine but would have enjoyed some protein with it. Coffee was excellent and staff very friendly
