Booked two rooms. The Pros are located at a great location in Savannah and the staff were nice and helpful with us. The Cons are the facilities conditions, no elevator and the cleanliness of the A/C and bathrooms need improvements.

The room was clean but the floors were really dirty. My husband spilled some water and when he cleaned it up the towel was disgusting. The only other issue I saw was the towel I used for the shower was ripped and the edges were very frayed. The room itself was clean and you could smell that when you walked in. The guy who checked us in was very nice and answered all of our questions. The property itself was clean and so was the check in office. We will definitely be back.

Cool inexpensive retro motel in a hip city!
I’ve stayed in Savannah a bunch before and walked past this place before. Had a one night solo trip so thought I’d check it out and save a few dollars. Place is super cool if you’re into the 70s retro style - cool little perks too like popcorn in the foyer. I would tell people the location is a little out of the fray but if you don’t mind walking a few more blocks it’s totally worth it!

Good place to stay
If you didn't slam the door it would not latch to lock , not a problem for me but everone next to me probably thought i was a jerk. The counter attendants could be nicer, no one had any personality or conversational skills. Had to ask for towels, room service was non-existent. Donuts were off the chain. Like the music playing outside. Convenient to all you want to see in Savanna. Price point is excellent. Paying extra for parking after the fact seemed kinda crappy, but worth it.

Best inn in Savannah!
The outside of the hotel gives off retro vibes but the rooms are more modern! Room was exceptionally clean and spacious. They do have pack n plays available if you have any children with you. They have a messaging system where you can just send a text if you need any service to your room and they don’t go in your room unless you tell them too! Staff was super friendly as well! It was maybe a ten minute walk to all of the shops in Savannah and it is located right across from the bus station. They also have super cute key chains for sale similar to the old hotel keys! Love love this hotel and will be staying here again!

We stayed here for a couple nights for my son's trip to SCAD, and it's was lovely. The staff is amazing and the rooms adorable and clean. The only negative was how loud the street was right outside.
