Beautiful, quaint hotel in the heart of Old Savannah. The staff was exceptional and the suite was great. Afternoon tea and breakfast hit the spot. Would definitely recommend The Bellwether if you go to Savannah.

Disliked: Amenities
Property changed hand weeks ago and new manager didn’t feel it was necessary to inform customers that booked the property because of the several amenities they no longer offered. Their model is completely flawed as only 1 person works everything so even if you want to change the temperature in your room, you text or call to have them do it at the desk. No one answered!! TV complicated and didn’t work. Loading dock in back in a dirty alley. Parking 1.5 blocks away and also dirty and unkept. Manager Joslyn didn’t answer my calls and after meeting her , she is clueless!!! That all said, Cobi and Bailey were exceptional and very responsive and helpful but were limited by the decisions made by new management. At $400/nt plus $35 parking- way better alternatives!!

Changes at the Bellwether

Bellwether is a lovely B&B in a great location. Some changes took place a few weeks ago and we found it not quite as unique as our first sat of two nights earlier this year. THE WONDERFUL BREAKFAST is now a decent continental offering instead with a wide variety of offerings. The afternoon tea has been pared down, the bar is nonexistent and the 6 pm wine and cheese hello hour also no longer exists. What was unique then is no longer. The accomodations are still lovely though and if you didn’t know you might not miss what has been discontinued.

Property not what was listed when I booked. They still need to make changes to their website to reflect what you are really getting. I’d even suggest the previous company deleting past reviews; bc it’s like they are being slandered now they’ve been taken over my someone else. It false advertising. I read so many great reviews and they had listing of this wonderful home made menu based breakfast and afternoon tea. Even mention of a chef in house. I was looking for a five star location for a staycation, with chef cooked meals throughout the day; I was willing to pay of course . As my arrival date approached I started reading reviews that said everything had changed. I do not think the 1100 I paid for two.nights justified the experience. Parking situation awful, no instructions were given before on where to park etc., so I lugged my bags from the lot to the property, not fun and not five star. No one answers the phone when called, they don’t respond to texts when you text them but say that’s the best way to communicate. After the breakfast day one, I didn’t even waste my time to do the afternoon tea. The room was nice, but that’s really it. I wouldn’t stay again. Why ruin such a nice gem, obviously people are willing to pay for superb services and experiences.

It’s a beautiful gem in the heart if the historic district Very helpful and over top friendly staff The rooms are exquisite and high end design and quality The bedsheets were amazing Breakfast is great - different variety - continental but again quality food and presentation The place itself has so much charm Tall ceilings and windows, spacious rooms I was in the upstairs one only and the outdoors invites to work relax or socialize Easy to walk around to Forsyth park and easily walkable to river front, downtown areas. I would def come again

Our stay at the Bellwether was wonderful. Staff were very friendly and our room was absolutely stunning. They think of every detail to ensure your stay is everything you hope for and more. The nightly champagne saber exemplified this. My husband and I got lattes from the bar each morning which were delicious. The location is very convenient, as well. If you opt to get tickets for the hop-on, hop-off trolley, one of the stops is right around the corner from the Bellwether. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and will definitely be back.
