Eliza Thompson house lives up to much of its billing. It is a charming, 19th century home on a lovely section of Savannah (which is, btw, all that and a plate of shrimp). The room appointments evoke a period and are both comfortable and charming. The 20th century addition to the home that has added some 12 rooms has, however,... More

Went back to Savannah - our son was graduating so we decided to stay at the Eliza Thompson house this time. REALLY NICE. I don't really have anything bad to say about our stay at all. Staff: Totally pleasant, very accomodating and completely awesome the entire time we were there. Cleanliness - great room, very comfortable. Turn-down service every nice... More

Just returned from Savannah and stayed at the Eliza Thompson House. I would recommend to all hotels that they send their employees to the Eliza Thompson for five star training. Erin and Kevin, two of the inn's employees, just couldn't do enough for us - they truly give new meaning to customer satisfaction. We loved our room and the back... More

Let me start by saying that this is the 3rd time we've visited The Eliza Thompson House in 2 years. Since spending our honeymoon there, we have never thought of staying anywhere else. Once again we were greeted by Kevin, who remembered us and our names! Erin at the front desk is one the reasons we come back with her... More

This was our second stay at the B&B. After 10 years the service was just as great. We specially enjoyed the afternoon wine cheese with other guest, and the evening coffee and dessert before calling it a night. We will return, hopefully.

Location is perfect (for single woman) to walk all through historic district day and evening. Lovely breakfast in courtyard with singing birds, bubbling fountain, and flowering hibiscus is difficult to beat. The staff - particularly Nell, Erin, Brandon, and Kevin were terrific. Unfortunately, must make one negative comment. When I first made this reservation and read the reviews, I noted... More

My experience was different than many of the others that left great reviews. We arrived in front of a lovely house on a beautiful street. We were not met by a bellman, so we circled the block and found parking. We carried our bags up the wet steps into the front hall. There we were greeted by a pleasant attendant... More

Lovely historical building. Perfectly located for touring old Savannah. Not only was the complimentary breakfast delicious- so was the desserts served from 8-10! As for the staff, they could not be any more accommodating. This was my mothers first time at a B&B, and though I' glad she enjoyed it, I'm afraid the bar has now been set too high!

If you are looking to stay in an unhurried location, the Eliza Thompson House is the place. The house is lovely and the staff is attentive. I stayed on the weekend with my mother. Everything you'd like to see and everything you want to do in Savannah is in walking distance. The rooms are comfortable. Ours was on the first... More

We had a small one double bed room with a bathroom that was small because it had no counter space. I guess you give up certain amenities when you stay in a "Bed and Breakfast" type hotel. I must say the price for the room was excellent so I cannot complain about the size of the room as I knew... More
