Ballastone Inn

Well, what was probably the best and most nostalgic Bed and Breakfast anywhere is history. It is being totally gutted, renovated, with all exquisite furnishings sold. I'm so disappointed and saddened. I want Jennifer back! What is the new owner thinking?!😔

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate his birthday weekend. We were pleasantly surprised, the staff is phenomenal. The rooms are nicely decorated for the era. The mansion is centrally located. We walked to almost everything. This is a beautiful place and the breakfast is delicious and well thought out. The presentation is great. The tea and snacks during the day are great and they offer free port and sherry for those who partake. They have a full bar and a nice commons area. The first room we stayed in was the sorghum cane it was okay but we loved the peach leather room. I would recommend this place, the staff are very attentive, they go above and beyond. They were excellent. The atmosphere is very inviting.

The Ballastone is a beautiful inn located in the historic section of Savannah. The staff are amazing! They are helpful and congenial. We especially want to commend Macon, one of the concierges. She was cheery and informational about places to visit and transportation options. My husband wanted to surprise me for our anniversary with a bouquet of roses and wine. Macon contacted a florist who created an absolutely magnificent arrangement that blew me away when I walked into our room. It brought me to tears. I want to think the staff at the Ballastone for making our visit to Savannah and our anniversary so memorable.

Recommend with extreme reservation. I have a list of reasons why. At 400.00 per night, I expected some amenities among a clock in the room, a phone, wake up service, cart to carry luggage, and a person at the front desk. Also, the room had torn upholstery, ripped wallpaper hanging down in the bathroom, loose fixtures in the shower and bathroom sink( leaking) loose electrical outlets(hazard) in front room. Also the the TV had 2 units with no instructions how to use them. The manager had no idea either. The house keeper figured out they both needed batteries. No fridge. Not a pleasant experience. Oh, we were told they were getting a remodel next year and still charged the same price. They were so kind to give a 200.00 discount after I gave them a list of unacceptable conditions. Don't come here if you can avoid it, but be sure you go to the Crystal beer parlor and Wright Square Bistro. Great food, value, and service.

I can not begin to stress how absolutely wonderful this Inn is!! I am 66 and I have never stayed in a place where I have felt so at home!!! Not only is this historic Inn beautiful and homey, but Katherine and Leichen make you feel like family!!! I will never stay anywhere else when I come back to Savannah GA! Thank you for giving us Illinoians the BEST OF SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY!!!

I stayed here with my fiance the last weekend in july and it was better than expected. We ran in to a small hiccup on the 2nd day and Katherine went ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure we were taken care of. We love savannah, this was the first time we stayed at this inn and it will be the only place we stay now. Mostly because we know we will be well taken care of. This place is beautiful, but Katherine makes all the difference in the world.

The Ballastone just exudes Southern charm! It offers beautifully decorated rooms, a wonderful breakfast of fresh fruits and freshly baked pastries and homemade granola, and, to top it off, an afternoon Happy Hour to be enjoyed in the elegant living area or on the patio. It’s centrally located and we found it to be old Savannah at its finest

This inn is just about perfect in every way. From our first steps through the door to the hugs at the end of the week, it became home for 5 days. Adults only, quiet, beautifully appointed with antiques, opulent yet warm and inviting, a courtyard, a bar area, morning breakfast pastries and muffins made by Ruby, all day coffee and tea, on-site parking, and situated in what I consider the more desirable “half” off the historic district. The bustling lively eating-bars-shopping River Street area is within walking distance, but is far enough removed that it’s calmer, quieter, and more historic near the Ballastone. I was simply IN LOVE with the first floor living room / parlor, entryway foyer, and breakfast room. Every afternoon and evening vintage music was softly playing and the entire environment just makes you want to settle in and relax. The rooms are fitted with antiques and each one is beautifully done. Huge thanks to Catherine, Christine, Laken, Ruby, Janet, and Janice for your hospitality. This was such an awesome part of our trip!

This is a beautiful home and we very much enjoyed staying here. The location is wonderful. We did not have a problem with parking. Enjoyed sitting in the parlor. The bathroom may need a boost but I would certainly not describe this property as run down! The staff was helpful with making plans.
