Lovely location and friendly staff. Nice coffee in the morning, and had some amazing looking donuts, which I sadly do not eat. Also had popcorn in the evening which was awesome. Was an excellent place for my dog and I to stay and be very close to downtown.

Adorable details like Moon Pies & RC in each room don't make up for a postage stamp bathroom or little things like the back of the bathroom door looking like it's never been wiped clean before. Staff was great, including when they had to bring a plunger to our room.
Fresh local doughnuts are nearly irresistible!
The cute kitsch is real!

The bathroom is completely filling with steam after a shower, indicating the exhaust fan is non-operational. Also, the main room's air conditioning unit is discharging black particles/debris which have settled on nearby surfaces. The unit requires immediate service and cleaning, as this poses a potential air quality and health concern. The reception was friendly and so helpful. Juice, coffee, tea, and fresh donuts serve for breakfast. Location was great.

We used to love to stay here on our way through Savannah because it was affordable, simple, and clean! But not anymore!! The property has become very run down - holes/rips in the chairs, tiles missing in the bathroom, rusted mini fridge, disgusting baseboards and walls. The only thing that seemed truly clean was the bed and sheets!

It was clean and comfortable. However, it was constantly noisy due to the busy road in front. Also, the bathroom fan was quite loud, and I couldn’t find a switch to turn it off. Additionally, having better blackout curtains would make the stay even more enjoyable.

Clean room, Kind staff, Very close to downtown area! Best part of the place was the excellent service and 24 hour complimentary drinks/snacks. Nothing better than coming back to the room and grabbing a cup of hot cocoa before bed, and having your first cup of morning coffee and a donut just a few steps from your door! We’ll definitely be staying here again and recommend this place for a nice weekend getaway!
moonpies and rc cola galore!

Cool theme, good location, but some of the "retro" elements just felt old. Bathroom light was on a motion sensor so the lights turn off when you get in the shower.
