Review of The Musgrove House 3*

Okay, go look at all of the room rates on Hilton Head or the river facing hotels in this city. You get a tiny room, a bathroom, and an elevator ride every time you wanna leave your cage. Now, look at this place, you get a whole house for the same price, with fresh cooked breakfast every morning. Which begs the question… Why do people stay at chain hotels? Do they like having a desk clerk wave at them THAT much? Is calling for towels at 2 am worth 300-500 a night? I don't get it. Anyway, we stayed here, rented the Jasper House for four nights. To save you the trouble it's 229 a night base rate, plus per person after the first two people. We had 6 people in the house comfortably (so 390 a night for us iirc), there are four bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a half bath downstairs. There's also a private balcony on the back of the house overlooking their courtyard with a table for four on it. There's a fully quipped kitchen and a dining table for eight. The house is antique furnished, but with a preference for comfort, not just "show". We didn't find any problems with the house. Surprisingly the upstairs A/C almost works too well, pretty sure we put some frost on the rugs, so don't be afraid if you're a cold sleeper. You get a choice for your breakfast, either typical American eggs/bacon type food, or a light/healthy alternative, or a slightly upscale choice that varies day to day. It's better than most places like this I've stayed. The only catches: there's no off street parking. You don't have to pay, they give you a pass that allows you to park at any metered spot in town for free, but know how to parallel park or you'll hate your life. As with any BnB, you get what you ask for, not a 19 year old kid pretending to like you as he folds your sheets open for… well… I don't know why you would want such a thing, so if you are one of those people who calls a bellboy to fold your sheets back for you, seek counseling. Looks like the best value in town to me, if we come back to Savannah we'll stay here again.
