EXTRA-SPECIALS @ THE SENATOR'S GATE

While Mel and Sheila, owners and operators of The Senator's Gate Bed & Breakfast, maintain a "fair pricing policy" at The Senator's Gate -- and thus don't "package" their services or rooms in any way that might confuse potential guests -- and also don't offer "deals", cut rates (for lesser service, or for undesirable rooms), they do try to connect with special services in and near Savannah as a "value-added" proposition for their guests.
