We’ve been to Savannah several times, at least twice directly on the riverside waterfront. I had forgotten how steeply the banks rise from the Savannah River. Our hotel is pictured (badly) below.
The green-painted storefronts are street level on this, the south side of the building. This however is the 4th floor because it is numbered from the north side where ships sail up the Savannah River to unload their containers and/or pick up new ones.
Indoors, one reaches street level by elevator. Outdoors? The steps are described as “historical” because I guess the tourism bureau vetoed “dangerous”.
I like to splurge the last night out, and The River Inn didn’t disappoint (unlike the places we ate). The Manager’s Reception with open bar proved especially nice! The rooms have been carved out of what was an old warehouse.
A crummy breakfast (from a restaurant related to but not managed by the hotel) sent us on our way through the Carolinas to home. A wonderfully satisfying and varied trip!
