The staff and other visitors were so friendly. The room was crisp and clean. The bed was really comfortable and the room was quiet. They even left us a couple RC Colas and Moon Pies. That was a good surprise. I’m definitely going to stay here the next time I’m in Savannah.

Nice retro hotel

We have doctors in Savannah. Its much easier to come up from Brunswick for a very early morning appt. We've wanted to stay there and were not disappointed. The staff is great, beds very comfortable, wonderful coffee and popcorn in the evening. We'd stay there again.

Comfy cute cheap retro

Fun few days at TBird Inn. Retro hotel nearctrolley stations. Convenient to historic district. Rooms clean, not fancy but for the price, clean room and comfy bed works for me. Shower could use more pressure. Fonuts in morning yummy treat.

Cute motel - price was very reasonable.

I really liked the look of it . The moon pies and RC colas in the room were fun. Great donuts in the morning. Air conditioning was great. Only complaint was that our room key deactivated a couple times. I had to go get it reactivated. It wasa little noisey being close to the road and its a bit of a walk to get to restaurants etc. Overall i liked it and would stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities

Mediocre at best

Way over hyped and over filtered pics. Room was gross and worn out. AC was ok but understandable since it was summer temps. Parking was overpriced. No pool. It is just an old motel with some paint slapped on it. Just find another place unless this place is the cheapest and you are on a budget.

This was a fun place and we will def be back!! One night was not enough. I'm not a fan of paying to park but I get it in this area. The fun decor and great staff made this a fun stay.
