I had a truly wonderful time at the DeSoto, enjoying the southern hospitality from the staff and the beautiful property itself. My room had a stunning view and was spacious, but I did notice that some areas could use a bit more upkeep. The dining experience at The 1540 Room was top-notch, but I found some amenities to be lacking. Overall, it was a lovely stay, but there were a few things that could be improved.
