What a deal for downtown Savannah. We had a quick stop and only in Savannah for 12 hours. Needed a quick stop to rest our heads. Staff and location were great. Room was clean. Bathroom tile needed some attention but we were very satisfied with this place. Fresh donuts from Baker’s Pride was the chef’s kiss to our send off early the next morning. Will definitely return for the value of our stay.

Great location as far as walking distance to broughton and river front. Area was a little rowdy all night long and you can hear it all. The staff was amazing and the donuts were to die for. The RC and moon pies were very nostalgic. They have done a great job at keeping it original. We seen people with pets so they are obviously pet friendly. Glad we’re stay for the experience if nothing else.

Lovely location and friendly staff. Nice coffee in the morning, and had some amazing looking donuts, which I sadly do not eat. Also had popcorn in the evening which was awesome. Was an excellent place for my dog and I to stay and be very close to downtown.
