Easy walk everywhere

Within 15 minute walk to everything in downtown Savannah. Clean and quiet during our stay. Check-in process was smooth. Beds were comfortable. Handicap access into the building is not available. We had two senior dogs that can't go up entry stairs but we were able to carry them up and down.

Excellent location, very clean. Some road noise in one of the bedrooms but really not bad overall compared to hotels on bay street. We're planning to stay here again next time we're in town.

Great location/stay

Property is very centrally located which makes for easy walking to nearby restaurants, river street, etc. Every where you want to be within about a 10 minute walk. Kitchen is very tight but well suited should decide to prepare a meal. Controlled access to building was nice and easy. Was able to consistently get on the street parking on Oglethorpe (2hr 8-8). If park one street to the south, parking is 1hr 8-5. Size wise, well-suited for 2-4 adults.Comments from others are accurate and our experience was very positive with no negative issues/concerns. Would definitely stay again if opportunity is available.

Nice roomy 2BR/bath in good location

Each bedroom has a king bed and adjoining bathroom. We walked to everything except Tybee Island. What a beautiful area, lots of shaded squares, so it didn't feel as hot as temps said. A strange sticky spot on sheets in one bed, as well as night noise on the street side were the only cons; Overall a great stay. Nicely appointed kitchen.
