It doesn’t take too much imagination to picture a bygone era in which a horse drawn carriage is carrying a Georgian Belle down this Savannah Street. Majestic Southern Live Oak trees line each side arching over to form a living, green canopy high above. Spanish moss hangs down from the branches waving in the sultry late afternoon breeze not unlike grandpa’s wispy grey beard.


The eligible beauty wearing a layered flowing white dress, head back laughing at something someone had called out. One elegant gloved hand holding the reins and the other clutching at her oversized hat which is threatening to blow away in the breeze.


An interesting fact is, that Spanish Moss is neither from Spain nor is it a moss and is instead is a flowering plant in the family of bromeliads. Being an epiphyte it absorbs nutrients and water through its leaves from the air and rainfall. It generally grows upon larger trees in tropical and subtropical climates, native to much of Mexico, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Central America, South America, southern United States, and the West Indies. 


For me Spanish Moss is an unusual plant and one that only grows only in specific locations making it intriguing and slightly mysterious and worthy of a little research and consideration. #nature

The valet parking attendant hit son with our car and put a dent in the door. They charged my credit card for our stay and then put another hold on my card for the same amount for days. Totally unacceptable! We will never go back again.

Our room was spacious and comfortable. The bar was great for drinks after a day of sightseeing. Food choices were minimal. Location was great and every where we went in the historic district was walkable.

Unpleasant stay. Not worth to pay $400 per night. AC hotel next to it was much better. That will be my choice for next time

The room was clean, the location was awesome & it was spacious. Only one tv in the living room with no live tv and no on site parking, but there is a public lot less than a block away. It was a little tricky finding the codes to get in and out of the building but beyond that, pretty good spot in ...

Staff (minimal as it is) was very polite and helpful. Overall, the facility was nice, quite industrial, practical. The noises of the city were quite aggravating -- waste bins banging against each other (by people or trucks) were annoying; the screaming motorcycles were way too much. Several cars ...
