Great place to stay a night. Friendly service. Loved the walkable distance to Broughton St. where there's a ton of eating options! We walked down to the river as well. Delicious morning donuts. Only complaint is maybe a little noisy in the morning but not terrible.

We stayed here for a couple nights for my son's trip to SCAD, and it's was lovely. The staff is amazing and the rooms adorable and clean. The only negative was how loud the street was right outside.

Motel was just OK. The furnishings inside the room definitely need updating. Our floor lamp was completely rusty. There was a garbage can right outside our room that was overflowing so much that I had to go to the front desk inform them. There was also a homeless person sleeping under the stairs by the ice machine that was startling when I went to get ice.

Aside for some upkeep, the rooms were really nice. Only bad thing is you can hear every vehicle especially buses that go by. The doughnuts were amazing! You’re close to the river walk and it’s almost a straight shot to Tybee Island from the parking lot.

Such a cool place!
This place is super cute. The staff was extremely helpful. I loved all the special touches. It was also very clean and the bed was great! The only complaint I would have was the noise and light. Perhaps a black out curtain and provide some ear plugs. I would stay here again with an eye mask and ear plugs.

Horrible stay
Was 158.00 plus another 15.65 to park your car for a tiny room with NO amenities. The room was by the ice maker (106) so we listened all night to people getting ice. There is no noise dampening so that coupled with the bus station across the street made for a sleepless night as well. Then to top off the trip they were blowing the parking lot off at 7am then at 8 the cleaning crew was out with their carts banging around. We got absolutely no sleep and will never be back to this hotel again.
