Convenient but could use a little TLC. Great location for SCAD drop offs. Quirky and fun decor. Bed was comfy.
Didn't like: It seemed tired. Peeling paint on both sides of the sink and mildewy grout in shower needs to be redone. I would have preferred curtains since lots of outside lights shined in at night.

Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The coffee and doughnuts were very good.
Didn't like: The location was noisy at night being by a busy intersection. It's an older motel. Plan on spending an extra $25 a night to park in the motel lot. They will charge an extra 4% on debit cards because they do not except cash.

Not worth it at all. Hygiene was very bad. The locations was good. And some authentic things around the hotel. The guy at the reception was friendly.
Didn't like: Well, where do I start? The foot print on the bed sheets. The mold on the ceiling. The mold in the shower. The very stinky AC. This hotel got a funky style but the hygiene and conditions of the hotel are just terrible. Btw the parking is 25$ a night. I truly don’t know how this place got these good reviews, it was the worst stay where I have been in the past couple of years, and it was not cheap I would say.

Unpleasant Only half decent thing about it was its location.
Didn't like: Everything, staff was not nice, there was cockroaches in the room, old and dirty room. Super Overpriced for what it is.

Was hoping for the same cute property but it’s dirty she smells Location
Didn't like: Considerable amount of mold obvious in first room and paint hanging from ceiling. Second smelled like mold. Entire property is dirty and poorly maintained. Stayed here a few years ago and was cute. It is poor condition now.!
