This property was retro. The staff was amazing and very friendly. They were able to offer an amazing dining option as well. They have a cute little pet area and a decent pet fee. If ever in Savannah, we will stay there again. Oh and dont forget the RC Cola and Moonpies.

Melanie

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Best part is the staff and easy walk to dining and the riverwalk. However it is noisy as it is close to the highway and the room was a little mildewy. Could use a little upkeep in the bathroom, dirty vent and cracked tiles. Beware the $25 fee for parking and $50 for pets!

The Retro feel, Felt like we went back in time with the style of the motel. Loved the free donuts & coffee every day. Staff was super friendly & helpful during our stay. The only reason I gave 4 stars is that the key machine was broken while we were there.

Favorite spot in Savannah! We’ve stayed here 3+ times now. Perfect location that’s walkable to downtown and River Street. The staff is always very kind and goes above and beyond. The icing on top? The complimentary donuts are absolutely fantastic.

Retro style motel. Staff was amazing. Free moon pies, RC cola, popcorn, lemonade and donuts. Room was clean and in pretty good condition. Obviously not brand new but nothing that would prevent a future stay. Downtown is walkable, but you are on the edge of town. Pet area was adequate for our dog. It was more than enough for it's purpose.

Stayed here for the experience of a motel and this I would say is probably one of the better ones . Done on a 60s theme it is delightful. I would recommend getting a room on the upper level as it can get noisy in the morning.
