The Queen Anne Inn

I don't like to give bad reviews but I believe I'm being fair when I say that our stay here was quite disappointing. We made a reservation through hotels.com several weeks in advance. Guests must be aware that running the inn is a part-time job for the owner. We arrived to find nobody there and the place locked. It was about 3:30pm, well within the usual check in time. There was a sign at the entrance with a phone number on it so I called. All I got was a voicemail, so I left a message saying we're at the inn and asking to be called back immediately. Nothing happened. We went back to our car, which was parked at the back in the parking area and waited about half an hour but nobody called. Just as we were about to give up and leave two young women came out of the side door of the house. I asked them if they were guests at the inn and they said no, they're the daughters of the owner. I explained our situation to them and they were very apologetic but didn't seem too surprised. They told us their mom is a teacher and she's probably still at work and they tried to find her on the phone. They finally reached their dad and were able to let us into the inn and show us where our room is. They were very sweet and kind but didn't know know much about the running of the inn. They said their mom will call us. Our room and the house were nice but we were the only guests there and it was clear that the owner had forgotten that we were coming. She did call us after a while and apologized and explained how busy she is at work. Frankly, that seemed like a poor excuse but she said that she'll come by in the morning to bring us breakfast. She asked if 7:30 am was ok and I said that's too early so she said she'll leave the food in the upstairs kitchen for us and we can stay as long as we want the next day. She apparently came very early the next morning, on her way to work, and dropped off some food. We found some donuts, some cereal, a couple of bananas and some juice, milk and cream cheese in the fridge but no bagels or bread or other fruit, as she had promised. She did phone later to say she was sorry she forgot the bagels. We've done a fair bit of traveling and we've never had a situation where the innkeeper forgets that there are guests coming and forgets to provide the promised breakfast. Maybe on weekends the service is ok but I would not recommend staying here on a weekday.

This by far is one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. Definitely the nicest bed-and-breakfast ever. Don’t listen to any negative reviews as this spacious clean wonderful charming very well-maintained. as far as slow drains in the shower doesn’t take a rocket scientist to look down at your feet and pull the anti-slip mat away from the drain. adorned with every amenity possible from air conditioning , crisp clean sheets ,comfortable beds, full cable TV and the owner Val that waited on us us hand and foot. Knowing this was our wedding Anniversary Val asked what Our favorite desserts are, any food restrictions and a bottle of Champagne was offered. By the way Val the special ordered cheesecake and ice cream was wonderful! Unbelievable that anyone could say anything negative about the Queen Ann inn. Similar BNB’s in Savannah are 900.00 per night.

I chose the Queen Anne because I wanted the experience of staying in a historic home. If you want new and perfect go to a new hotel. If you want a special experience then this is for you! I stayed with two family members who were also thrilled to have the privilege of staying in Queen Anne. She is a beauty and so is her owner! Valerie was such a delight and wanted to make sure all our needs were catered to. It was so special to stay in a part of history. It was also very nice to have the kitchen area and living room to spend family time, play games, have coffee together....
