Very small room and very close to a bad section of the town. The staff that we dealt with were very friendly. The bathroom was very small and does not have a sink in it, the sink is in the bedroom.

My room was clean and cute but lacked ventilation. If you took a hot shower the floor would sweat. Floor gets dirty from walking around downtown Savannah on the streets. Dirty floors with the sweating made a dirty mess to clean up. I’m glad I brought paper towels to clean up the mess which was very annoying to be on vacation. They made us sign a waiver about damage to their towels. I just couldn’t feel comfortable if I had to worry about their towels getting dirty from street dirt. The vent in bathroom didn’t work plus water was getting on floor from poor shower curtain. Paint was peeling back on the wall from staying wet with water from shower and no ventilation. Pleas read about the TV. I didn’t snd was surprised to have no TV service. You have to go through steps to use you own streaming service from your smart phone. If you don’t have a smart phone with streaming your screwed. This sucked and was a deal breaker for me because after a long day walking I wanted to come back and relax and watch a little tv before bed. Make sure you read about daily parking fees Also dog enclosure to walk your pet is small with fake grass. My dogs didn’t like this as a place to go poop. There was no place close to take your dog to go poop. Had to go walk to park. This place is also a good walk from river street.

Exactly what it says it is

You get what you pay for here. Pros: Complimentary donuts, coffee, popcorn, and lemonade at the office. Donuts are actually pretty good. Lots of literature with info about the city. Cool and fun retro vibes. Beds are comfy. Pretty easy to walk wherever you need to go and feel safe doing so. Cons: Parking is $22/night. Bathrooms are super tiny. Rooms are mostly clean but certainly could be cleaner in the details like the blinds. You still get quite a bit of outside light when the blinds are drawn at night. Would be nice to have curtains.

What a great place to stay in Savannah. It’s not the Hilton, but who needs that in Savannah with so much to do outside. The staff is spectacular from front desk to house keeping. I arrived early and Cindy stored my bag and called me when my room was ready (she is an all star). It’s convenient to everything and has a cool retro vibe. I will stay here again! Hopefully soon.

The property is dated and needs repairs. It has a great motif however there were some issues with the bathroom fan running constantly with no way to shut it off as it’s in a sensor timer.
