Hotel Savoy
Elegant, historic B&B in downtown
Back to Hotel Savoy
Just blocks from the convention center and on a college student budget this hotel offers promises. From reading the website and being there in person it is not at all what we expected. From the first time you set foot in the door, it has a very old look, feel and smell. Everything is off center the elevator is hard to find and it does not go the every floor. There is not a ice and soda machine on every floor, you have to go look for it. The room we were assigned eerily had a plaque with someones name on the front door. I was told by the front desk clerk, that the rooms at one time were rented out (they just never took the name plaques off of the door, weird). The room was old smelling, with old furniture, the ventilation was not good in the room and the room overall did not "feel" clean.

I have nothing good to say about this Hotel It smells, it's dirty, staff is creepy. It is a Resident Hotel which they say nothing about when you book. The elavator alarm was going off and I had to tell the staff they then had to call someone off site cause the people there didn't have a clue, my phone didn't work and it took them a long time to fix it again having to call someone off site. Breakfast was nasty, magazines and TV in room were really old and the bathroom floor was sticky felt dirty when I left that place.

I called Savoy direct (5/2008) spoke to reservations explained I needed a handicapped room for a paraplegic. I was told they had one handicapped room. I made my reservations was put on hold while they moved around someone so I could have the room. My husband and I arrived and the first alarm that went off in my head was stairs!!!! I left my husband in the car went in to find the handicap entrance and found there was none. After complaining to the manager, “why did (so and so) make reservations for a handicapped person and not tell me there were stairs and no entrance for handicapped”. (So and so) promptly said she didn’t know it was for handicap and they had moved me from the one handicap room they had and had given it yet to another. The gist of this is you cannot believe what the Savoy says and they will argue the situation with you. It is really ashamed that at this time 2008 that there are still places out there that limit our disabled from enjoying the accommodations and architectural marvels in life. When with today’s knowledge and technology all is needed is a porch lift in the lobby.

We stayed there over Xmas and were the only guests in the hotel. We paid $150/night and the room was depressing, not at all quaint, and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. The only antique in the room was a counsel TV that was straight out the 60s. The radiator ahd a hole in it and made horrible noises that kept us up most of the night. The bathroom was dingy and scary.

My husband and I were so excited to stay at this hotel. We saw the pictures, and thought it looked so pretty. We were actually celebrating our anniversary. It was the WORST place I have ever stayed. It wasn't very clean, the carpet in our room looked as if it hadn't been steamed cleaned in years. The decorating was ugly and mismatched for a historic B&B, and the service was lousy. They bragged about this amazing breakfast that they were out of half on what was on the menu. I will never go back. Oh, and the price listed is NOT what we were charged. We were charged $45 more for garbage. Do not stay here. It's horrible!!!!!!

There were so many things my husband and I did not like that I should first start with somthing possitive.The parking was free and convient,and the food was great.This is the only thing that was good and the wrest was awful.The room was so damp that we could not sleep well at all for the wet feeling kept waking us,the sheets along with the furniture felt very damp,the room was very dirty(dust thick on all the furnishings,socks became black on the bottoms from walking in them on the carpet,aminaties were sparse to say the least (T.V very small with no way to play a movie since there was hardly much to do in the vacinity unless one wanted to go Hotel hopping).We were referred to this B&B from another of my husbands buisness partners and for our Anniversary and we hated to tell him the truth so we just said he really needed to go back for a lot has changed so he should have a back up reservation somewhere else.We also need to let the resraunt know that while there food is pretty good we have had much better for the value.For two people we spent $146.00 for two salads,two dinners,and two glasses of wine.My husband said that while his food was vey good he couldnt really enjoy it for he felt really priced gouged.I had ordered a seafood soufle and was very dissapointed for the tuna ovrpowered the taste of the shrimp and lobster and was very watery.Sory Savoy but you will not be getting our vote or business in the future.

I started going to the Savoy in the 60's for lunch with my dad. As we grew up we would go there for special occasians. The first Time I stayed at thre hotel was in 1990. The hotel is old, that is the charm. The rooms that I have stayed in are always clean, the decor is an atempt for antique, but is really just new /old. This building has ben here for a long time. The best thing to do hear is eat, breackfast like none I have ever had. Dinner at the resturant should be required. If you want the Ritz go elswhere, here there is history. We are going back for my wifes birthday.

I cannot complain about anything during our stay, only that I wish we could have stayed more than one night and that I hadn't checked off so many items on the breakfast menu. I felt bad that a lot of food went to waste, but the selection was delectable. The lobster bisque is a must! Our room was a newly decorated victorian room with a wonderful view of the city and river. This is a hotel that still has separate faucets for the h/c sink and an old clawfoot tub. So, there is still a feel of the 1900s mixed with the modern. Absolutely loved all the stained glass and the old mirror in the dining area! We will stay here again when in the area. Thank you. R.

Of our group, everyone has commented that they would want to return to the Savoy. I planned a bus trip for nearly 40 people for three days in Kansas City and we stayed at the Savoy. I had read all the reviews, as had some of our group, and the couple of less than favorable reviews brought up questions. All the good reviews made me decide to book at the Savoy. Once we were there everything affirmed the decision to stay there. The service was wonderful and attentive to every request. The breakfast was as advertised, and a highlight that our people are still talking about. The rooms were at least as described, and even our most picky were happy. The rooms are spacious to say the least, the furniture, even though it is old and fits the atmosphere of the 1930's, was ample and comfortable and the beds were great.
