This was a really neat place. Old renovated building, with big southern furniture. We heard about the ghost, "Charlie", but never heard from him. The staff here is very friendly. And the hotel is literally minutes from everything. We walked across the street and down the stairs to River Street. We turned left or right and wandered up and down Bay Street. There is minimal parking on site, but directly across the street there's a parking garage with free parking courtesy of the hotel. We parked our car once on arrival and never left the garage again until we headed home! There

What a great walking pub crawl ghost tour and Dani our guide dressed as a pirate led the tour and she rocked it out. We had so much fun learning about the bar and it's sorted and tortured past and history. And we learned that Savannah has over 30k bodies buried all around. The spirit of those souls walk the streets and haunted places such as this historic place.
With each stop, cocktails and shots were recommended and they were delicious.
At the East Bay Inn, the drinks were delicious.
If you want a fun and educational way to learn about the city, you can't go wrong with a walking bar

We had a lovely stay here this last weekend. Got a great deal direct through their website, so check that out if you're finding prices online cumbersome. Hotel is very nice, if the parking lot is full, the parking garage is right around the corner. We were in a Superior King and the room is very large. Bed very comfortable. Seating very nice and the exposed brick and decorations were elegant. Checking in was a breeze and getting a free drink at the bar was a great way to start the trip. Deb's Downstairs had fantastic breakfast too. Highly recommend that!
Only cons- our upstairs neighbors came

I stayed here yrs ago. This hotel is so epic & a lot of history. The haunted story that comes with this hotel along with ppl's experience with Charlie was so fascinating. I'm actually thinking to change my plan to go to New York this yr for my bday & go back to Savannah, GA & stay @ this hotel again. The price is worth it & the stay is worth it. U will not b disappointed.

My husband and I just returned from our honeymoon. We had a fantastic time. The East Bay Inn was beautiful. David was amazing. He provided us with awesome recommendations as well as a friendly face and smile every time we returned. I cannot stress how awesome he is! I also recommend to other guests to go to staff at EBI for recommendations . Beautiful room and friendly faces. We can't wait to come back!!!

This little place exceeded our expectations. Upon arrival check in was quick and easy, and they are pet friendly so we brought our pup with us and we were given a little welcome bag with treats and doggy bags. The room was clean and staff was incredibly nice and pleasant.
The diner has great breakfast and the bar has good drinks.
We will be staying again!

We stayed at this historic inn on our recent first visit to Savannah. The room was beautiful and the staff goes over and above to make the visit memorable. Everyone on staff was nice and helpful. They had great suggestions for dinner and points of interest. Will definitely stay here on our next visit!

If you are planning on visiting Savannah I highly recommend staying at the East Bay Inn! My husband and I booked this hotel for a few nights to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. The corner king suite is wonderful, we loved the exposed brick. Due to some unfortunate car issues, we had to stay an extra night in Savannah while our car was being fixed. East Bay Inn was very accommodating and was able to book us an extra night in the same type of room, just on a different side of the hotel. They were so helpful and even offered to hold our luggage and transfer it to our new room once it was

Truly a very unique stay. I loved all the brick and the historic feel. Staff was really friendly and the rooms came with free popcorn and bottled waters! They provide you with those nice little extras that make it feel like they want your business, which included a few free drink tickets for the bar! I would stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay at the East Bay Inn. Number one, the staff there are extremely friendly and helpful. Southern hospitality at it’s finest. The room was great- very spacious, clean, so much character. The bathroom could use an update as the toilet and shower/tub combo was older and needs a refresh, fresh coat of paint, new door hinges as they were rusty. Also could use more hooks or places to hang wet bath towels, perhaps in the entryway would be a perfect spot. Otherwise it was clean. We had a room on the side of the building and had no issues with any road noise. The location of the

You know how hotel rooms never look like the pictures they post on their websites? This one does!!! It's incredible. It's so roomy and comfy and spacious. I swear to god they're not paying me to say this. I'm sitting in my king size bed right now, happy as a clam. I could spend the whole weekend in here. Free water, free soda, free wi-fi, bath robes, luxe bath products, restaurant in the hotel, free drink tickets for the bar, centrally located. I could go on. The only downside I could think of is it's a little pricey but honestly, it's totally worth it. I looked at

My better half and I came to Savannah on July 1st, to stay over the holiday weekend. We had both been to the city before, and I was here most recently, in 2017, where I stayed in another one of the Historic Inns of Savannah. We chose this hotel largely because of the location, which is excellent - but also because of my experience with another boutique hotel.
There were a few minor complaints - like another member mentioned, no pool, though I don't think this is uncommon in Savannah. We had a few issues in the room that were all easily fixable - lighting was sparse in the bedroom, and the

What an absolutely lovely place! Staff is hands down outstanding, extremely helpful, professional and polite. We have stayed at every possible place in SAVANNAH that allows dogs and this one is my favorite places to date. Great location, as your within walking distance to pretty much anything and everything. Our room was very clean, well decorated, brick exposed walls, quite lovely. We will definitely be back. Thank you East Bay Inn for all your hard work!

I would like to make this 4.5 stars but obviously can't so I rounded up! The floors creak a bit (yes, I know, it was built in 1852 so that's normal I guess), the toilet paper was ultra thin (weird, I know), but otherwise the place was perfectly located, staff was very very helpful, amenities great, decor on point. Def would stay here again without a doubt. (Btw, it is pet friendly but it sure doesn't sound or smell like it so good work whomever on that!)

We loved this hotel the first time we came to Savannah. Went back before Christmas for a few days. It was not the same experience! The toilet was not clean (ugh), bathroom was tiny, room size was great. We were told when we called the 3rd floor suite was ours, it wasn't. Second floor you hear the people walking above you. Warning it's a very dog friendly hotel but if near the elevator expect your dog and others to bark. Our last morning the barks started at 5:45. I hope management reads this.. if your coffee machine in the room is broken there is no coffee available. Downstairs restaurant

Stayed Sept 12,2020 nice visit beautiful room and hotel. However, I sort of felt cheated and would not stay again. They said their over flow parking lot was Lincoln parking garage and they would validate my parking ticket so I didn't have to pay when I left out. Guess what the hotel charged me $16 parking fee since they validated my parking ticket and I didn't have to park the garage $10 for overnight parking. I had rather paid the garage the $10. I wouldn't recommend them just for being dishonest of a few dollars. Come on be honest with people and get repeat business cheat them

Loved this hotel!!! We planned a last-minute overnight trip from Charleston and chose this hotel based on location (River Street is across the street) and were so happy we did! We were in a Deluxe King and it was great. The room had so much character and was extremely clean. But the best part was the staff. From check in to check out, every employee we encountered greeted us so nicely. I have to admit Ernest was our favorite though. Take any of his recommendations! Long story short, you won't be disappointed!

Love this hotel! Such an amazing place to stay. Short walk to River Street and many great restaurants. The rooms were a bit humid but it is an old hotel built in the 1850's with a lot of character and original brick walls, floors, etc. David at the front desk is the sweetest and very knowledgeable and helpful. Might have even had a visit from the friendly resident ghost, Charlie!

Really awesome location and places. (Covid) Staff was safe with masks and tons of hand sanitizer spots around the inn.
We stayed one night but spent a lot of time around learning the history. Great location but don't pay for parking with them ($16). Go a half a block down the street to the left and they have 24hr parking for $10.
Room was very spacious with two queen size beds and a sweet couch.
Go to Ellis Square and check out the restaurants and shops to the north of it.
Georgia Wine Tasting is sweet drinks too.
Perfect location to the river area (we even saw the sunrise and sunset

I planned a long road trip for the summer with my dog, Millie who I knew was dying and I wanted one last hurrah with her. River Street Inn across the street was unwilling to make an accommodation. I found East Bay Inn, crossed my fingers and made the reservation.
Sadly, my dog died a few weeks before my trip began. I kept the reservation and am so glad I did. Yes, the place is dog friendly. I met a few doggies in the reception room. That was a delight. Did not hear anyone bark the entire stay, two nights. My room and my friends' room was immaculate and gorgeous. I had a private patio

Our experience here was 5* and not just because of the beautiful rooms and amenities, it was their staff that made our experience SPECTACULAR! This is a MUST stay if your in Savanah.

Had a great stay here. We chose the east bay in as we were wanting to stay in a historic hotel that was walking distance to downtown. The east bay inn did not disappoint. We found them initially through Expedia, but booked direct (as we know Expedia takes a 15% commission from hotels)
The staff were incredibly friendly as soon as we arrived- the manager (or owner) even came out to greet us and upgraded our reservation to one of their newly remodeled rooms. Even the bell hop was kind and friendly.
The room itself was beautiful, original exposed brick on the exterior wall, and the original steel

What a find! This small Inn was delightful! Even though it's a historic building from the 1850's it's been remodeled. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. Lots of towels, high ceilings, great decor, strong WiFi.
The bed we had wasn't super comfortable but the blankets were perfect for snuggling into.
It's surprisingly quiet given the prime location for local activities. They offered ear plugs but the night crowd usually disperses by 11. There was only one night it got a little loud on the ground floor. I expect the upper levels were probably pretty quiet all night

The East Bay Inn, located across the street from the Savannah Historic River District, offers an excellent place for an overnight stay. Many positives, such as the location, the gorgeous antique room decor and free happy hour in the lobby.
I have stayed twice at the East Bay, once in 2015, and most recently October 2018. My first visit I stayed on the first floor and my dog Roxie was traveling with me. Yes, they are pet friendly for an extra fee. They gave me a nice doggy bag filled with natural treats from a local pet supplier. I loved this room! It was gorgeous and cozy! On this visit breakfast

East Bay Inn was the most historical place to date I've stayed in Savannah GA. It's beautiful. Super clean. The front desk concierge was so pleasant & helpful. The wine service/servers were superb. A nice touch. I couldn't have has a better stay. I'll for sure be back. *Ask for room #322 simply breathtaking. Perfectly located on Bay St. a very walkable area to food, nightlife & shopping.
