Exactly as advertised. It's an older building, but well maintained. The staff was always beyond cheery and helpful. Popcorn every afternoon and donuts every morning (if you can handle that many donuts). Easily walkable to the market, river front, tour buses, museums, and honestly the entire historic district if you bring your walking shoes.

Great location within easy walking distance to the waterfront, shops, restaurants, and beautiful historic district homes and squares. Perfect for a pet and budget friendly one or two night stay in Savannah. The complimentary donuts for breakfast were amazing!!!

A comfortable, charming little motel with late 50s/early 60s theming that drew us in. I saw very few of these sorts left growing up, but greatly appreciated this little throwback to the mid-century era of holiday making.

Two minor complanuts...Noisy bathroom fan that never seemed to shut off. Property is on a busy street, so a bit of traffic noise at times. Convenient location.

We stay in room 102 and 103. The sink in 102 was clogged. In the 103 the bathroom has losses tiles with mold and the room smell to humidity. In both rooms the A/C filter needs to be cleaned. They were completly full of dust. In general the hotel is clean, very friendly staff and very well situated.

Love this place. The best location. Staff is awesome and super friendly. My only complaint is the motion sensor light in the bathroom. That thing was brutal in the middle of the night. Other than that this is the only place I stay when I visit Savannah, been staying here since the 90’s.

great location close to downtown, walking distance even with kids. They give cute sodas and moon pies the place was clean, no bugs or mold. Only downfall is- our vent in the bathroom wouldn’t turn off and literally kept us up ALL night when we had to leave for the airport by 5 am so that was awful. Might just have been our room? Worth checking when you get there to see if it’s making noise, we ignored it assuming it wouldn’t be that bad

So sad it wasn't better
I was looking forward to my stay, expecting a much leveled up experience from the motels of old, but while the retro touches were cool, the room was still drafty, let in so much light, noisy, and the pillows were probably the worst I've put my head on. The staff is friendly and professional, the donuts are ridiculously good, but I was paying for a good night sleep, which never came.
