I enjoyed how convenient it is from all sorts or restaurants and shopping malls and freeways. For the price it is a pretty good place to rest your head.
Brenda Jeannette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Had a great experience with my 1 night stay. Clean room, bed is very comfortable and overall no complaints.
Derrell, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nightly rate was comparable to the motel 6 and super 8 close by; however, what sets this place apart from those other motels is that as a single woman I actually felt safe here. I felt safe parking my car here and getting a good nights rest. The cleanliness is far better than I expected and aside from the location right off a busy street it’s peaceful and quiet.
Savannah, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was friendly. The mini fridge and microwave are a lifesaver for budgeting food options.
