My flight got cancelled the day of the start of my reservation and rebooked for the next morning, they were incredibly kind and understanding and were able to honor the rest of my reservation. The staff is very nice, every interaction with them feels like talking to a family member. The retro aesthetics of the place are refreshing, it is also as clean as it is good looking. The rooms are nice and the difference between the GA summer sun and the comfort of your room is very noticeable and a nice addition to its central placement. Perfect if you plan on walking a lot. We plan on coming back soon!

Everything about this property was unique and comfortable. However, the thin. windows and the hotel's proximity to the street meant you could hear every car or bus (located across from the main city's bus stations) that passed. I did not sleep well and neither did my co-worker. Everything else was great but if you can't sleep or stay sleep, how good is the stay really?

Very old school motel vibes. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Wasn’t thrilled with paying $25 to park a day after paying for the room. Front desk staff was nice. Good location to walk to shops / bars / restaurants. Does have some sketchy looking areas nearby but you don’t need to walk that direction to get to anything.

Room was clean, staff was friendly. Looked for a place that included breakfast and this one said it did. Just so you know, that means coffee, juice, tea, and doughnuts. We still had to go out to eat for breakfast after that. They do have popcorn throughout the day which is great when you want a snack. Usually don't care about what is in the room since we are just there to sleep. But, our phones died so we went back to the room to charge them. We couldn't even watch TV while we waited because you need to use your phone to watch TV. No microwave in the room but they have one in the lobby along with the juice ( watered down , don't recommend) and the popcorn. Also green so no plastic utensils, and no hot breakfast so they just had spoons for your coffee. Loved how they played oldies music right outside. Also loved how it was only an 8 minute walk to the historic downtown. Hotels and inn in the district were at least $100 more. There was a fight at 3:30 in the morning that woke me up and the police were called. Took me forever to try to fall back to sleep. Just my luck, nothing against the hotel.
