Foley House Inn

My Husband and I stayed there in mid September, 2025 as part of a 5 day vacation to Savannah. General info - Excellent location, directly between all the main tourist spots we wanted to see. The gardens were beautiful. I have limited mobility and booked it knowing there were no elevators, I called ahead of time to ensure our room was easy for me to access. (Which it seemed to be from what I read at booking) The man with whom I spoke, confirmed we were on the garden level. We got to walk through them every time we came in or left the property, sooooo beautiful. There was a slight mechanical problem in the room that could not be fixed while we were staying there, (it could be and was jury-rigged to work safely for the duration of our stay) we were offered an upgrade due to the "inconvenience" of the issue, (which once it was jury-rigged really was a non-issue) While the upgraded room was even more incredible, (which is saying a lot because I loved our room it was amazing) I could not climb the stairs everyday, I managed it once to see the option and the view from upstairs. If you can do the stairs, do it, the view was spectacular. The staff - So nice, above and beyond the typical "staff nice" you see at pretty much every hotel. Everyone with whom we spoke was incredible. Enthusiastic about the hotel itself, the decor, the food at the continental breakfast, the cookies and teas mid-afternoon(I'll come back to that below), Savannah, its tourist spots and its history. Dedee in particular (and I apologize if I misspelled her name) was one of the sweetest people I have ever met in my life. She stopped by our table every morning to see if we needed anything, to chat if we were up for it, and generally just to wish us an amazing day. She answered every question my husband and I had, about the food, the hotel and its history. We came to find out she was the one cooking the food at the continental breakfast, everything they served was amazing. We had a question about one of the items they served and she took the time to go back into the kitchen to get the answer for us and bring it to our room so we would have it when we got back at the end of the day. Mind you this was completely above and beyond as it wasn't an allergy type question it was a hey this is really good can you tell me how you made it and what brand kind of a thing. She did and I am looking forward to trying to make it now that we are home. Her spinach croissants were my absolute favorite. The ghosts - since it's Savannah and so many others have commented about them it seems wrong to leave them out of the review. We saw nothing out of the ordinary, we experienced nothing out of the ordinary. We heard the stories and read them online (when I got home - because I'm a "chicken-puppy'). However the fact that nothing happened did not prevent everyone in Savannah that we met, when finding out where we were staying, from saying..... "Ooooh the Foley House. Did you know it was haunted when you booked it?" Or "ooooh, that's haunted, is that why you stayed there?" The answer to both of those is "It's in Savannah, it is a really old city and a really old building so yeah, there are ghost stories about lots of places there. (We did several ghost tours because I love scary stories). Some people have reported seeing / experiencing things at Foley house. We did not. We for the most part, don't really believe in such things. However that didn't prevent me from bringing an EMF detector and those light up cat ball toy things, turning them on and leaving them around the room as an early warning sign, just in case. Because, as I said before : me ="chicken-puppy". They did not light up at all except when my husband kicked them because I had left them somewhere stupid. Quick summary - if you want an amazing experience at a quiet hotel in Savannah. I highly highly highly recommend the Foley house. Our time there was truly incredible. All of this was at a reasonable price for the location, service, and ambiance. Great value.

Awesome location in the center of Savannah's historic district. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, especially DeeDee and Chuck, made our 3 day stay especially enjoyable. Good breakfast and afternoon tea were offered. Comfy beds and linens, and cozy robes. We stayed in a recently renovated |room with a wonderful large shower and dressing area. A small balcony overlooked the courtyard garden area and was the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee and pastries. All around it was a wonderful place!

We loved this place!! This was our first time to Savannah and this hotel is the perfect location. Out of the way of the loud riverfront but still within walking distance to everything in the historic district. Staff was friendly and accommodating, our room was beautiful. And breakfast was a blend of omelets, bacon and muffins and pastries. The Foley house sitting rooms were welcoming and all the decor was enchanting especially the mantel on the downstairs fireplace. Would definitely 1000% come back here again.

Firstly the parking in Savannah is an absolute nightmare and the signs for parking are quite incomprehensible and there was filming going on in the street.. We didn’t take any chances and parked in a public car park. When we got to Foley House, jaded after dragging our cases and rucksacks for a 20 minute walk we were greeted by stairs. We finally got into the house and were greeted by Chuck, a pleasant gentleman. He said our room was up a few flights of stairs and when he saw our exasperated expressions he said that he would put us in the garden room downstairs (1 flight) for a free upgrade. Upon entering the room we saw that it was very tired and in need of some serious renovations. I can’t quite believe that room 102 was an upgrade.|It’s in a very convenient location, 10 minutes from the waterfront and a lovely walk to it and that’s where it ends.|5.30 am the following morning we were awoken by footsteps over the top of us and by around 7am people overhead were talking at the volume as if it were 3pm in the afternoon. The walls are paper thin and you can hear everything up and either side of the room. We got to breakfast and there was nothing vegetarian, Dede did offer to make me an omelette after a little arm twisting and when it turned up 20 minutes later it was tepid and extremely salty.|The next morning we were woken very early again with pacing above us and loud voices. Breakfast was even worse with more salty offerings of omelette and spinach and ricotta pastry with even more salt and they were both cold. It was very sweet of her to take my dietary needs into consideration but I think when you’re paying just shy of 200 dollars per night the food should be at least hot! I couldn’t recommend staying there as it was very expensive and the food was terrible, shame as the hosts were very hospitable. I think the property is overpriced, extremely noisy and expensive.

We have visited Savannah six or seven times and we always stay at the Foley House Inn. Staff are welcoming and helpful, from the front desk to the kitchen team. This was our first trip post Covid and things have changed a little which is a shame. There used to be cordials and nibbles around 5pm which was a nice way to meet other guests - that doesn’t happen any more. Plus breakfast used to be more of a communal affair with shared tables which has also stopped. These changes mean the ground floor lounge/dining area is permanently laid out for eating, so it feels less welcoming than before. The breakfast is still good and the coffee/tea station is well stocked. It just doesn’t quite feel the same. The room was comfortable and well furnished.

My husband and I have stayed there a few times now and every time is great. The staff is friendly, the rooms are nice, they allow large dogs (100 lbs), and the location is perfect. We will continue coming back.

We booked the last room at the last minute on our way home from North Carolina. It was such a convenient location and indulged my enthusiasm for historical architecture. We found parking right out front. ($1 per hour 8am -8pm). Check in cookies and tea we're fantastic. Our room was cute with a fireplace and a door to the courtyard. Breakfast was even better than I had anticipated and if they have the spinach pastries out definitely snag one.
