It was ok
Cons:

It was a older building so it had its little small issues but my most complaint was they didn’t have cable even basic you had to cast from your phone and half the time that didn’t work because the wi-fi was so slow. Also they didn’t have a microwave in the room. Of even like an extra mirror in the room. It was small things that they could have done to make it 100% better and it was not that cheap.

Pros:

This is, I believe, or 4th time staying here. We come to Savannah a often as we can and this place is our go-to to stay. It's close to everything yet a little of they're beaten path. It's always clean and we LOVE the fresh, HUGE donuts they provide for breakfast!!!

Cons:

The only thing we recommend is that you bring earplugs. The road noise goes on all night, but we still recommend this establishment highly.

Good experience and would recommend to others
Pros:

Every thing was As pictured.

Cons:

I couldn’t connect to the tv to stream from mobile device and neither could my roommate. Directions were clear and very much appreciated, but still couldn’t connect so that was a bummer.

Hotel frente a la estación de buses de Savannah
Pros:

Su ubicación es lo mejor, esta frente a la estación de autobuses y eso ya es ganancia. La habitación es espaciosa y cuenta con todo lo que se necesita. Esta muy cerca del centro de Savannah, así que se puede hacer turismo caminando sin tener que gastar en uber. Puedes tomar donas, jugos y palomitas de maíz a tu llegada. El checking es rápido y el personal es muy amable.

Cons:

El desayuno que incluye, no es realmente desayuno. Solo donas, jugo, café o agua. Así que no debería indicar en la búsqueda en booking que eso es un desayuno. Por lo demás todo bien.

Dirty and loud :(
Pros:

Bummed out by how unclean this hotel was. There’s so much potential, if only more attention was paid toward cleanliness and consistancy. Dirty walls, dirty doorknobs, absolute horror film nightmare of an ice machine. Sad it didn’t work out, will be staying somewhere else next time I’m in Savannah.

Nice spot
Pros:

Great location. Clean rooms. Overall a great experience.

Cons:

Had to pay for parking on the property, I would think since I booked a room and a parking spot is directly in front of my room it would be included.

Retro vibes, clean, and comfortable hotel room.
Pros:

Location was great-walking distance to the city square and river street. The bed was super comfortable.

Cons:

There was water damage and mold in the bathroom next to the shower. The fitted sheet didn’t fit the bed well. It would slowly creep up until it was barely on. We could only control the AC a few directions in up or down.
