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.

Staff were freindly and the place was clean. We had a check-in time for 3pm but when we got there, we had to wait an hour and a half to be able to fully check in due to their drying machines not working. The place is in a bad spot as well. Throughout the night we kept hearing people screaming outside and there are a lot of homeless/drug addict people in the area. We did NOT feel safe here and We will NOT be staying here again. ESPECIALLY with our baby. I hate to leave a bad review but its just what it is.

My flight got cancelled the day of the start of my reservation and rebooked for the next morning, they were incredibly kind and understanding and were able to honor the rest of my reservation. The staff is very nice, every interaction with them feels like talking to a family member. The retro aesthetics of the place are refreshing, it is also as clean as it is good looking. The rooms are nice and the difference between the GA summer sun and the comfort of your room is very noticeable and a nice addition to its central placement. Perfect if you plan on walking a lot. We plan on coming back soon!

Everything about this property was unique and comfortable. However, the thin. windows and the hotel's proximity to the street meant you could hear every car or bus (located across from the main city's bus stations) that passed. I did not sleep well and neither did my co-worker. Everything else was great but if you can't sleep or stay sleep, how good is the stay really?

Very old school motel vibes. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Wasn’t thrilled with paying $25 to park a day after paying for the room. Front desk staff was nice. Good location to walk to shops / bars / restaurants. Does have some sketchy looking areas nearby but you don’t need to walk that direction to get to anything.
