Great economy motel with 50s-60s theme. Excellent location on edge of the main Historical District of Savannah and within a block and half of the Visitor's Center for catching a trolley. If you want a clean, comfortable room, Continental breakfast, and a good value I suggest this motel. If you want a 4-star hotel look elsewhere. There is free parking... More

The Thunderbird Inn far exceeded our expectations! This was mine and my daughter's first visit to Savannah (celebrating our birthdays), Wendy and the entire Thunderbird staff made every effort to treat us like extra-special guests. Our King Room (upgraded at no charge), was clean, spacious and charmingly retro. The Krispy Kreme doughnuts and fresh coffee were a welcome treat in... More

I booked the Thunderbird based on price & location and was extremely happy with my choice. The staff were super friendly - Stephanie & Bobby's welcome set the stage for a wonderful Savannah experience. I loved this place - it was clean, with great comfortable beds and moon pies & RC cola for turn down service with a smile. It... More

Bobby at the front desk was SUPER helpful with everything that my girlfriends and I needed on our girls weekend! The inn is completely redone with a very retro feel, and the beds are very comfortable. The room was a good size, and was very clean. They provide the snack of the south, moonpies and rc cola, free of charge... More

We try to stay away from chains when we travel, and glad to discover the Thunderbird Inn! Be careful when you look them up, as there is a dump nearby called the "Thunderbird Motel." If someone speaking broken English says you don't need a reservation when you call, you might have called the wrong place, which we did at first... More

I use Hotwire for the majority of my hotel bookings, so I never know what I'm going to get. The Thunderbird was a happy surprise. It's got that quirky retro kitsch that I love, and most of the staff seemed genuinely friendly. Lots of pluses here: it's clean, the beds are super comfy, and the location is (to me) ideal.... More

The Thunderbird is in essence a 1960's motel that has been updated while still keeping true to its roots. They have paid attention to the things that are important (to me): very comfortable bed and linens (believe me, I'm picky), thick, quality towels, fabulous coffee bar in lobby (plus juices and fresh Krispy Kremes in the am) and pet-friendly policy....

This place was great. They had sold out of the king room we booked, so we got upgraded to a larger room for free no problem. There was music playing on outside speakers when we pulled up, but not loud enough to disturb us in the room. Bed was comfortable and the staff was super helpful and friendly. More

This is a clean pet friendly hotel. The area is safe, convenient, near many restaurants and you can walk to them. Staff is very friendly. Bathroom is small but adequate, the sink is in the room. Room is large, we had a king bed, there is a desk, two lounge chairs that were not comfortable, an armoire, no closet just... More
