The room was nice and clean and the staff was helpful. The location was great for walking to downtown, just be aware at night as the bus station across the street can create an area to avoid at night. Very cute theming and an easy stay overall!

Very dated and on a loud, busy street - not as close to the historic district as you would think.. very friendly front desk, though. No cable, but it isn't needed if you're visiting downtown Savannah, anyway..
