Ballastone Inn Review
This glamorous inner-city B&B occupies a dignified 1838 building separated from the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace (home of the founder of the Girl Scouts of America) by a well-tended formal garden; it's richly decorated with all the hardwoods, elaborate draperies, and antique furniture you'd expect. For a brief period (only long enough to add a hint of spiciness), the place functioned as a bordello and a branch office for the Girl Scouts (now next door). It has an elevator, unusual for Savannah B&Bs, but no closets (they were taxed as extra rooms in the old days and so never added). It also has many truly unusual furnishings -- cachepots filled with scented potpourri, and art objects that would thrill the heart of any decorator. An antique bar offering boutique wines and beer is tucked is tucked into a corner of what was originally a double parlor Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features Deals & News |

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
