After seeing other reviews, I feel like I was in a different place. Room key did not work. Key also failed multiple times the following day. Room not that clean and showed lots of wear. Electrical outlets around sink did not work. Clerk at check out was extremely rude.

Very slightly removed from things but that’s built into the price so no issues there at all. Super strong bleach smell in the room which is not ideal and the pass through door to the room next door did not have a lock which bothered me … decent spot to land for me for the night but I wouldn’t want to stay with my family.

Super cute exterior and in a safe area. However it was very loud we could hear traffic outside of our room on the street into the night. Also, our room had an adjoining door to the room next to it and not a lock for us to lock them out which kinda freaked us out. Decent place for a more affordable option.

The decor is so cool. Best pillows I ever slept on! I need the brand name. Clean, safe and comfortable room with nice staff. The only reason not a 5 star was the bathroom fan would not cut off and drove me crazy at night. Thank you.

Bathroom was very small & dated. They have zero cable tv-you have to connect to the Wi-Fi & use your phone to watch anything. The process of watching tv was a pain. The bed was uncomfortable. It was convenient to walk downtown Savannah & wasn’t my worst experience but will pick a different hotel next time visiting.

The staff and other visitors were so friendly. The room was crisp and clean. The bed was really comfortable and the room was quiet. They even left us a couple RC Colas and Moon Pies. That was a good surprise. I’m definitely going to stay here the next time I’m in Savannah.
