Marshall House

Marshall House Review

This restored hotel, with original pine floors, woodwork, and exposed brick, caters to business travelers, as well as families, yet it provides the intimacy of a B&B. A second major renovation finished in winter 2008 has made a marked difference in the guest rooms, which are now nearly swank. Rooms with their own wrought-iron balconies, which overlook the street, are decidedly the best. Some bathrooms have a bear-claw tub and traditional shower, as well as a separate modern shower. Flat-screen cable TV is a welcome, contemporary touch; working desks are appreciated. The lobby segues into the bar and then into 45 Bistro, both are under separate management but an integral part of the inn's experience. Different spaces reflect different parts of Savannah's history, from its founding to the Civil War. Artwork is mostly by local artists. A full breakfast is offered in the lovely atrium.
