Overall we enjoyed our stay. The property is off of a busy street so there is noise throughout the night. The theming of the property is very fun. We will be staying here again when in the area.

What we mainly loved was the smell of a clean room. Also, they left a couple of cans of local sodas and local cake in the room for us. And the staff was very very friendly. We loved the place.

Super cute exterior and in a safe area. However it was very loud we could hear traffic outside of our room on the street into the night. Also, our room had an adjoining door to the room next to it and not a lock for us to lock them out which kinda freaked us out. Decent place for a more affordable option.

Loved the vibe of this hotel for a recent girls trip with my best friend! Staff was amazing! Room was clean and so cute with the RC colas & moonpies when we arrived! Easy parking and very confidently located to everywhere we planned to visit. Felt extremely safe & we had no issues with noise. I’ve stayed at all kinds of places in Savannah and would definitely stay here again!
