Honeymoon to remember
Anyone who travels to Savannah and doesn't stay at one of its beautiful inns needs their head examined! The problem is, Savannah has so many inns that choosing can seem an insurmountable task.
I planned our honeymoon so I was a bit nervous every time we arrived at a new place - Would it be as good as the website promised? Would my (new) wife like it? One look at the Azalea when we pulled up outside and I knew I'd made the right choice.
We stayed in the Gentlemen's Parlour, which was just perfect. A big comfy bed, a nice powerful shower, even a DVD player (we normally never even turn on the TV while travelling but couldn't resist borrowing Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil from the Inn's collection to watch when we came home stuffed full of she-crab soup one evening). Its Oriental decor was something different while at the same time fitting in perfectly with the eccentric details to be found elsewhere at the Inn (see the murals in the dining room!).
The staff were both friendly and helpful. Erin prepared and served our breakfast daily (we chose to eat outside by the pool - it was shaded which meant we got all the warmth without the sunburn) and also recommended dinner options (she suggested The Pink House, which turned out to be the meal of the honeymoon). Teresa, the owner, was also very helpful in making suggestions for what we should do while in town.
The location was great too - we parked our car in their lot and didn't go back to it once during our stay, it was so easy to walk everywhere we wanted from the Inn.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Azalea to anyone visiting Savannah, and if we're ever lucky enough to return to that beautiful town we'll surely be returning to this beautiful Inn.
