Create Memories for a Lifetime with a stay at a Savannah Bed and Breakfast

kathleen Dupuis - Sunday, January 06, 2013

 

Why Choose a Savannah Bed and Breakfast verses a Savannah Hotel?

Here is why! Savannah is the Best Choice for Southern Hospitality and it's Old World architecture. Currently, we have approximately 45 Bed and Breakfasts in Savannah and they are all unique. Our Olde Savannah Inn is one of a kind and specializes in the ultimate luxury and world class elegance. Attention to detail is a MUST...We are very fortunate to have so many lovely bed and breakfasts to welcome guests from all over the world and I must say there is nothing comparable to our Savannah Innkeepers. Martha's Vineyard is a favorite spot for me, still there is no place like Savannah for it's generous offerings and gracious hospitality.

 

As a native from Boston, I grew up in the Northern culture until I moved here in 2005 and I was taught to SLOW DOWN. The leisure of the Southern lifestyle is so much more relaxing and appealing instead of living in the fast lane. Before I purchased the Olde Savannah Inn, I had never had the opportunity of a Bed and Breakfast experience but I knew how I would like to be treated if I ever stayed in a Bed and Breakfast. It is an honor to stay in a private home verses a hotel as it is such an up close and personal experience. If you are not a people person, and you are one of those people who want to become invisible then the Hotel is for you.

Upon entering a Savannah Bed and Breakfast or Savannah Inn, you are warmly greeted by hard working and caring Innkeepers who have been preparing for your visit and are excited to have you as a guest in their Savannah B&B. When you stay at a Savannah Hotel, You will be greeted very professionally by the front desk clerk who has a job to do and will issue you a key or slot card to your room and there is no personal connection to your stay. You will have come and gone and very seldom will you be remembered . Just doing Business as usual.

You can invest in future memories that will last a lifetime when you choose a Bed and Breakfast in Savannah. After having the experience of being an innkeeper for six years and more, I would always encourage visitors to stay in one of our beautiful Savannah Inns, One of my favorites is The Olde Savannah Inn. Why! Best Gourmet candlelight/Big band Southern Breakfast fit for a KING. There is no hotel in Savannah that will offer you the gourmet breakfast, freshly made homemade treats, coffee served in a French Press and crisp pressed European linens that beckon you to a sleep you probably haven't experienced in years.

Savannah Innkeepers are gladly ready to assist you with all of your Savannah plans for your Georgia vacation. From the finest Savannah Cuisine to Tybee Island's Crab Shack , we plan your entire Savannah vacation and most of us offer FREE PARKING onsite. You cannot beat that. Most of the Savannah Hotels charge you parking fees and extras just to stay at their establishment.  You have no rapport with management or the owner because to a hotel, it is just doing business. As a guest in the Savannah Bed and Breakfasts, we know who you are, we go out of our way to get to know you and care about how your stay goes. We are friends you haven't met yet...Come , stay at a beautiful mansion that you can call home while visiting the most enchanting city in the South.  Choose The Olde Savannah Inn, and create memories for a lifetime.

See you Soon,

Your Savannah Innkeeper and Friend, Miss Kathleen
