The staff and other visitors were so friendly. The room was crisp and clean. The bed was really comfortable and the room was quiet. They even left us a couple RC Colas and Moon Pies. That was a good surprise. I’m definitely going to stay here the next time I’m in Savannah.

What we mainly loved was the smell of a clean room. Also, they left a couple of cans of local sodas and local cake in the room for us. And the staff was very very friendly. We loved the place.

Funky place that is lovingly cared for. Desk staff were personable and professional. I had a temperature/thermostat issue and they did their best to address it. Walking distance from so many things. If you are a walker this is the perfect starting point, and the city dot bus comes a block away. If you want plush, this isn’t the place. I’ll return.

Loved the vibe of this hotel for a recent girls trip with my best friend! Staff was amazing! Room was clean and so cute with the RC colas & moonpies when we arrived! Easy parking and very confidently located to everywhere we planned to visit. Felt extremely safe & we had no issues with noise. I’ve stayed at all kinds of places in Savannah and would definitely stay here again!

The room was clean and smelled clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. I just loved the nostalgic vibe. They have RC cola and Moon Pies in the room for you. Popcorn and lemonade in the lobby. The breakfast they had went above my expectations. They were fresh and gourmet style. Apple fritters too We brought our dog and even she got a special wrapped big biscuit. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely would recommend staying here.

Cool hotel with retro vibe. Made for a fun stay for a short trip to Savannah. Free doughnuts and the moonpies around the property were a fun touch. Staff were all friendly and you are a quick walk or a cheap Uber to local attractions. Beds were super comfortable, but the small sitting area in the room was not very comfortable or functional. My only caution is that the air conditioner in the room was not able to keep the room very cool. I would not return in warm months. We asked the desk for assistance and the maintenance person directed us to use a boost option on the unit, however, that only stays on for a couple of minutes at a time, leaving us having to reactivate this option every 10 minutes or so...not very helpful. Overall, enjoyed the stay, but would not return.
