Pros:

The staff was extremely friendly and easy to book a last-minute room. The beds were comfortable and clean. The light was blocked by light blocking blinds. The coffee was awesome and for probably the least expensive hotel I have ever stayed in. I was very pleased and plan to return again

Cons:

It’s not in perfect condition but better than expected for the price

Pros:

Price and breakfast were good

Cons:

This place is renovated, but it was something cosmetic and slopy, the toilet moved, ir was not properly attached to the floor and you can see paint everywere in shower, rusted hinges. Drinking found was not working and elevator also break while we were there, the laminated floor in the stairs has adhesive tape to hold it. It is like 24 min from Savana downtown using a expressway. Maybe for the price it is good, but based on the comments I was waiting something better
