Convenient but could use a little TLC.
Pros:

Great location for SCAD drop offs. Quirky and fun decor. Bed was comfy.

Cons:

It seemed tired. Peeling paint on both sides of the sink and mildewy grout in shower needs to be redone. I would have preferred curtains since lots of outside lights shined in at night.

Pros:

Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The coffee and doughnuts were very good.

Cons:

The location was noisy at night being by a busy intersection. It's an older motel. Plan on spending an extra $25 a night to park in the motel lot. They will charge an extra 4% on debit cards because they do not except cash.

Not worth it at all. Hygiene was very bad.
Pros:

The locations was good. And some authentic things around the hotel.
The guy at the reception was friendly.

Cons:

Well, where do I start? The foot print on the bed sheets. The mold on the ceiling. The mold in the shower. The very stinky AC.
This hotel got a funky style but the hygiene and conditions of the hotel are just terrible.
Btw the parking is 25$ a night.

I truly don’t know how this place got these good reviews, it was the worst stay where I have been in the past couple of years, and it was not cheap I would say.
