I booked the room (standard queen) through the motel web site for $75.00 (advance purchase). I called the motel's direct line before doing so to inquire about the price and was quoted a rate of $107.00.

I didn't have any problem finding the motel and it's in a decent part of town. There are several dining options within walking distance of the motel, and Abercorn St. takes you straight in to the historic district of Savannah.

The reception at check-in felt a little aloof, but when trying to get to our room one of the employees that ran into us in the hall led us to our room and also carried my bag up the stairs for me. This was very helpful since I was traveling with my 6-year old grandson and I had all of the "stuff" that you have to have when traveling with kids. Just to let you know, he didn't do this for a tip...I wasn't carrying any cash with me and he pretty much opened the door, let us in, said have a good evening and left before I would have been able to offer him a tip.

The room was a standard motel room. The good about the room -- it was clean. The bed linens, the furniture and the carpet were clean. The housekeeping staff must be pretty thorough in their cleaning. There's a coffee maker in the room and the coffee packet offered was actually good and fresh. The not-so-good -- the room lacked adequate lighting (except for the vanity area). The bathroom was so dim that when you pull the shower curtain closed, you're pretty much in the dark. The mattress, in my opinion, wasn't just firm it was hard. I woke up with hip and lower back ache. The pillows leave a lot to be desired, very poor quality. There's no fridge/microwave. The standard room is pretty much a $60.00 room that goes for 75.00 (advance purchase) during Memorial week, and that I would never pay $107.00 for. They do have other rooms, I believe, that have a fridge/microwave and also a balcony or patio. They must be the deluxe rooms or suites.

The manager's reception offered drinks, alcoholic and non-alcholic (I believe a 2 drink limit, which is approriate), and vegetables, dip, crackers and snack mix. The gentleman (who, I'm pretty sure, was not the manager) that took care of the reception, was wonderful. As far as personality goes, the motel has a very good employee in this man. He was just as kind with the children as he was with the adults. Hey, he was good to my grandson, therefore he was good to me!

The breakfast was decent. The hot items were so-so. I believe the eggs were powdered (there was a lot of water in the pan and in the eggs). The sausage was cocktail sausages, not breakfast sausage links. They do have toast, bagels, cereal, waffles and fruit. Also, coffee, juice, tea and milk.

The courtyard area is nice, and the pool area was clean.

This motel, in my opinion, isn't a 3-Star motel, maybe a 2 1/2. They could be a 3-Star if the management would look at the quality of what they offer in their rooms. They already have a few quality employees.
