I had a great time at this cute motel! It was super clean and had a retro charm that felt special. The location was ideal for exploring downtown Savannah, but the street noise was a bit bothersome at night. The breakfast with fresh donuts was a nice touch, but I did notice some cleanliness issues in the room. Overall, it was a fun stay, especially for the price!
