The staff was so friendly. We got there earky and room wasn't ready but she offered to call me when it was. Rooms were clean and bed comfortable. Donuts for breakfast were phenomenal. Just a note on the TV. No channels, you can cast streaming from your phone though. No hair dryer either. RC Cola and moonpies in the room was a fun touch. Great price would stay again.

Liked: Cleanliness

Room was very clean. Poor water pressure in the shower. Bath products were full, but the dispensers didn’t work so you couldn’t use anything. Bath mat had 2 large holes in it. Towels were fine. Staff member at check in was not friendly and barely spoke above a whisper. Other staff that we encountered were pleasant and cheerful. Too lengthy a process to watch tv. Download 2 separate apps etc. Street noise very loud at night.

Was welcomed warmly to this little folksy motel/inn. However wasn’t ready for the interior condition. Not clean or well kept. It’s a colorful place but be ready for not manicured. The historic district location is hard to beat though.

Fun place to stay

We had a quick 2 nights in Savannah and the hotel was convenient to many restaurants, the trolley, and a shuttle to enmarket arena. The other reviews were pretty much spot on. The AC doesn't get the room cold and our keys didn't work twice, I had to get them reprogrammed, but the room was clean and the quaint touches made it an unforgettable stay!!

Best part is the staff and easy walk to dining and the riverwalk. However it is noisy as it is close to the highway and the room was a little mildewy. Could use a little upkeep in the bathroom, dirty vent and cracked tiles. Beware the $25 fee for parking and $50 for pets!

Everything was perfect!

The stay here was unforgettable! It reminded us of old times and was just the most unique experience. On a more practical note: the rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and the little extras (popcorn, lemonade, RC Cola, Moon Pies, and fresh donuts) made it feel so fun and accommodating. Plus, if you’re taking the Old Town Trolley tour, you’re only a 5 minute or less walk to stop #2. Leave your car parked at the hotel and hop on and off the trolley for the day! So convenient!!! We will definitely stay again!

Retro style motel. Staff was amazing. Free moon pies, RC cola, popcorn, lemonade and donuts. Room was clean and in pretty good condition. Obviously not brand new but nothing that would prevent a future stay. Downtown is walkable, but you are on the edge of town. Pet area was adequate for our dog. It was more than enough for it's purpose.
