The moment I walked into the Eliza Thompson House, I was pleasantlllly greeted. Jennifer immediately set the tone for my stay with her graciousness and kind demeanor. She explained everything thoroughly, leaving no detail unanswered and making me feel completely welcomed into this wonderful atmosphere. Jennifer and Marcus escorted me to my room, graciously carrying my overpacked luggage along the way. 😀 The surroundings were quiet, peaceful, and serene, offering beautiful spaces for private reflection, meditation, or simply gathering one’s thoughts. Every question I asked was thoughtfully answered, and each staff member I encountered offered an abundance of wonderful suggestions for exploring the magnificent city of Savannah. Through my extended conversations with the staff, I could genuinely sense that they took great pride in their work and truly enjoyed caring for their guests. The Eliza Thompson House is also perfectly nestled within Savannah’s Historic District. Many memorable sights, restaurants, and attractions are within easy walking distance, allowing you to slow down and truly appreciate the beauty of your surroundings. I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at the Eliza Thompson House—and I am already adding a return visit to my future itinerary. Take care, wonderful souls. Chaz

This place is truly beautiful and in a great location in Savannah. I loved coming and going as I pleased and using the gate they have on street level to access my room. Staff are all very friendly, except for the man they have serving breakfast; his customer service skills were a little lacking. Basically, he was very rigid and didn’t seem super knowledgeable when asked questions about the menu, and, in general, wasn’t the most personable. Additionally, the breakfast could’ve been better. I was expecting more options and fresh fruit, but really there was one entree option and a couple sides every day. While the entree was often delicious, the sides were often dry. Lastly, the room was kept very clean every day and well-stocked. However, the bed and pillows were not the most comfortable for me. The mattress was a little on the hard side and seemed to kind of dip at the top where you lay your head, which, for someone who has chronic neck and shoulder pain, is not a great setup. The pillows also could’ve been more supportive. Overall, I still found the Eliza Thompson house to be peaceful.

Our son lives in Savannah and my wife, and we always stay at an Airbnb or Bed and Breakfast when we come two or three times a year for the last two years. This was our first stay at Eliza Thompson House and we stayed 4 nights. The communication was excellent before and during our stay. The front desk staff are knowledgeable about the area, professional and friendly. Joshua checked us in and explained parking, breakfast, wine and d'oeuvres and dessert time every night. We met Nell the next morning and had a good conversation with her. The buffet breakfast was just what we needed with an option of scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, grits and pancakes with plenty of coffee for refills. We met some really nice people at the wine social every evening from 5:00-6:30. Parking was on the street which we were used to and never had to park more than a block away. Our room was just one flight of stairs up, very spacious and comfortable. We were able to walk to Forsyth Park every morning for 2-3 laps around for our exercise. We were then able to walk the 3-4 blocks to Broughton Street for lunch and going through shops. We were in walking distance to St. John's Basilica but took our vehicle since we had a lunch reservation right after Mass. We will stay at the Eliza Thompson house next time we are in Savannah visiting our son.

This is a very nice bed and breakfast and we were able to grab a convenient parking spot right in front. We paid the $20 fee for the 24 hour city-wide parking pass and found it to be worthwhile despite not moving the car at all while we were there. We note that there are very friendly folks at the Eliza Thompson House and would stay here again if in Savannah in the future. We stayed in the R. Bruce room and found it very cozy and comfortable (no unusual events occurred for those seeking such). The happy hour and evening dessert period were wonderful and conversation with Charles was stimulating and very enjoyable. Although breakfast was certainly not up to standard compared to the rest of the amenities, we enjoyed ourselves so much we won't even consider breakfast in the rating.

The location of the Eliza Thompson House is perfect for your visit to Savannah! It is in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to any attraction you wish to see. I especially enjoyed the breakfast in the courtyard and visiting with other guests during happy hour in the parlor. The staff is so helpful and friendly. I definitely will return to Savannah and book this lovely B & B again! Ronda Lincoln NE
