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.

Everything about this property was unique and comfortable. However, the thin. windows and the hotel's proximity to the street meant you could hear every car or bus (located across from the main city's bus stations) that passed. I did not sleep well and neither did my co-worker. Everything else was great but if you can't sleep or stay sleep, how good is the stay really?

A wonderful stay

My husband and I absolutely loved the Thunderbird Hotel. The room smelled freshly clean when we entered it. The bed was comfortable and the room was very clean. The staff were so friendly and helpful. We would 100% stay here again.

Very old school motel vibes. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Wasn’t thrilled with paying $25 to park a day after paying for the room. Front desk staff was nice. Good location to walk to shops / bars / restaurants. Does have some sketchy looking areas nearby but you don’t need to walk that direction to get to anything.

Within walking distance to lots including River Walk. Loved the retro decor/feel. Casting TV was a new experience, but we weren’t in the room a lot so we didn’t watch much tv. Would definitely stay again!

Room was clean, staff was friendly. Looked for a place that included breakfast and this one said it did. Just so you know, that means coffee, juice, tea, and doughnuts. We still had to go out to eat for breakfast after that. They do have popcorn throughout the day which is great when you want a snack. Usually don't care about what is in the room since we are just there to sleep. But, our phones died so we went back to the room to charge them. We couldn't even watch TV while we waited because you need to use your phone to watch TV. No microwave in the room but they have one in the lobby along with the juice ( watered down , don't recommend) and the popcorn. Also green so no plastic utensils, and no hot breakfast so they just had spoons for your coffee. Loved how they played oldies music right outside. Also loved how it was only an 8 minute walk to the historic downtown. Hotels and inn in the district were at least $100 more. There was a fight at 3:30 in the morning that woke me up and the police were called. Took me forever to try to fall back to sleep. Just my luck, nothing against the hotel.
