Jefferson Savoy Hotel (Location Key)

There are several boarding houses in Jefferson in the various fictions. The "Savoy Hotel," the "rambling shabby side-street boarding-house" where Mink Snopses's wife works while he is in jail, is only mentioned in The Hamlet (288). The novel notes that it has "an equivocal reputation," which perhaps suggests that it is also a brothel; if so, it would be the only one ever mentioned in Jefferson.
