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.

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.

The staff is incredible. We loved the yummy donuts and coffee at breakfast. The room is very noisy and the mini split doesn’t cool the room. Also, the steps upstairs need to be power washed. There’s wads of hair and yuck on them.

They charge $25 for parking. Had I known that I would have just stayed somewhere nicer. Also the “included breakfast” is just a donut.
