The property itself, was very clean and great staff. It felt unsafe because the locks on the doors were horrible. Additionally, I put in the parameter of parking included in Travelocity. This property came up. At check in I was told parking was an additional $20. She said it was in the small print at the bottom. Kinda sneaky.

Room was clean and staff was friendly. Room was very humid and our AC/heat didn’t work. The room needed some TLC (cracked shower tile, water leaking in from front window) but was otherwise fine. Street noise is quite loud. I didn’t realize you have to pay to park onsite until I received an email about it 2 days before we arrived. Luckily we got parking. It’s nothing fancy but it worked for our needs. And the donuts are delicious :-)

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.
