Frommer's Review

The oldest inn in Savannah is located in a small but dignified clapboard-sided house that was built in the year that gave the establishment its name. Reminiscent of the kind of sea captain's house you might see in New England, this cozy, personalized, and charming inn is decorated in ways that emulate a well-appointed private home. Eleven of the 13 smallish but charming guest rooms have fireplaces. Conversations and occasional sounds of laughter come from a basement-level restaurant with a beamed ceiling and exposed original brickwork where locals come to eat and drink. The staff isn't shy about referring to a resident ghost, the unhappy victim of an early-19th-century love affair that ended in suicide. Rich in associations of both requited and unrequited love, this is the kind of place that encourages romantic fancies and attachments, hopefully to the person you brought with you. The inn is run by the Presidents Quarters, to which all calls are directed.
