It was an absolutely lovely stay. The room was definitely mid-century modern with no detail left out. The room was very clean and it is centrally located right at the edge of the historic District. We would definitely stay there again on our next visit to Savannah.

Clean room, even though it does need some repairs. First floor can also be a bit loud, but overall good for the price and you’re able to walk to many places. Staff was super nice too. Would stay here again.
