No pool at this location. Breakfast of gourmet doughnuts, juice, and coffee/tea. Worth the money to be within walking distance of EVERYTHING!

Very dated and on a loud, busy street - not as close to the historic district as you would think.. very friendly front desk, though. No cable, but it isn't needed if you're visiting downtown Savannah, anyway..

The room was clean, the staff were friendly. It is a very old motel and showed some were and tear so just be aware of that. The donuts offered in the morning were fantastic! Location was great for accessing the historic downtown area.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Parking fee is outrageous -- an added 25% on top of the room rate. Front desk staff were rude. Room is not very clean and is fairly dingy -- furniture upholstery is ripped, paint is chipping everywhere, etc. The TV gets no channels, so they suggest you cast your own streaming services to it, but the wifi is entirely too slow for anything but a pixelated mess. The room gets a lot of noise from all sides, and with a busy road out front in a pet-friendly hotel (I had a yappy dog in a room nearby), that's a real problem. The light in the bathroom turns off if it does not sense movement -- like if you're in the shower -- every 10 seconds or so.

The room was nice and clean and the staff was helpful. The location was great for walking to downtown, just be aware at night as the bus station across the street can create an area to avoid at night. Very cute theming and an easy stay overall!

The room was very clean. You can tell it's an older motel but in pretty good condition, except our tp holder was broken. We came in contact with several staff members and everyone was extremely friendly. We didn't have a pet with us but it is pet friendly with treats at the front desk. We enjoyed hot chocolate, coffee and donuts. There was also popcorn provided in the lobby. I liked that they used real cups, silverware and plates instead of wastefully using paper everything. While coffee and fridges were provided in the rooms, there were no microwaves. There was one in the lobby though. Hooks for towels would have been helpful as well. We really enjoyed our stay and loved that we were provided a moonpie and RC cola 😀

The hotel should inform possible consumers that there is no tv unless you can stream your own. It did not used to be that way there. I would have chosen different lodgings had I known.
