Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay! The price was excellent and the staff could not be nicer. Easily walk to the trolly and to the center of town. Great little place with a lot of personality!

Spiffed up retro motel in a great location just a short walk from all the action of downtown. Friendly staff, free morning doughnuts, and Moon Pies on your pillow. What more do you need?

The room that we used had a door that was difficult to open, the air conditioning fan would not shut off so that the floor was very moist and slippery, the bathroom fan was loud and would not shut off either. The neon sign in front, which is such a vintage wonder was missing several lights, which makes the place look uncured for.

For the money, and if you’re into mid-century kitsch, this place is fun. Windows do not stop traffic noise. Room was musty. No openable windows for fresh air. Confusing signs that were not consistent (I.e.parking was variously $155, $15.99 or $20). Fun space. Comfortable bed. Cute furniture. Doughnuts to die for.

Such a retro fun stay! Definitely a piece of nostalgia. We had such fun and enjoyed our stay. It’s an older preserved property. So if you’re expecting luxury don’t come. If you want to time hop to a nice clean motor lodge, this is for you! It brought back my childhood and I can’t wait to come back.

Property was super cute and loved the decor and the donuts and popcorn and drinks in the lobby. The Rc colas and moon pies in the room was adorable and a cute touch!! Rooms could use a deep clean and walls are kinda thin but overall enjoyed our stay and would stay again!

The place is nice but the guy at the front desk was rude and not attentive. We had a toilet issue in our room and he said nobody can help because he was not there to do resiove that problem. That person never greet or smile to guests. He looked to be tired of this place.

Property wasn’t far from Enmarket Arena or downtown Savannah..literally around a mile to both! The decor was cute along with the 50’s style music in the background playing and the mini moon pies and RC Cola in your room ❤️ would definitely stay again!

Not very relaxing place, very noisy. Small pillows. Not a very comfortable bed. Dusty all over. The original place is very outdated. They are trying, but not much you can do. Donuts was nice, but can’t fix everything 😳 Last minute booking due hurricane Milton. Cat fee was $50, parking charge as well. It wasn’t our first time in Savannah we stayed better place for $200 a night. It wasn’t worth it to be honest, but we had no choice. Location is good…
