Cute but some traffic noise
Cute hotel but is on a busy street if you are a light sleeper. Was updated probably years ago and could use a refresh. The location is good for walking around.

Diane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved this hotel.
Overall it was a great stay and we loved the retro style of the hotel. My only minor complaint is that the water pressure wasn't consistent and would fluctuate between perfect and mediocre.
Eryn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Sort of neato
It's okay but gets a lot of points for the vintage style.

Thunderbird Inn: A Soaring Stay with a Few Feather
We had an overall positive experience at the Thunderbird Inn. The staff and service were amazing, making our stay truly enjoyable. The convenience of being in downtown Savannah, with so many attractions within walking distance, was the main reason we chose this location. If I had any complaints, it would be that the inn could use some touch-ups, and the cleanliness of the rooms could be slightly improved. However, these minor issues wouldn’t prevent me from staying there again. A great choice for anyone visiting Savannah!
Nils, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A fun place to stay with all of Savannah (including the river) a brief walk away.
Linda, 1-night trip

Very nice hotel and friendly staff.

10/10 Exceptional

Ridiculous fun.
It’s a silly, fun place. Staff keeps it going.
Tyler, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very cool and retro motel
Our family of 4 loved our one night stay at the Thunderbird Inn, what a cool property! The motel reminded me of motels along old Route 66 that we use to stay in when we were kids, and our kids loved the dougnuts and moon pies. Great location to historic Savannah sites and River street (12 min walk) If you need a room in Savannah stay at the Thunderbird, it's a walk down memory lane.

10/10 Exceptional

A comfortable, charming little motel with late 50s/early 60s theming that drew us in. I saw very few of these sorts left growing up, but greatly appreciated this little throwback to the mid-century era of holiday making.

Charming stay
It was a cute place. Older and could use some updates but it definitely had charm and I felt safe. I have no complaints other than the fridge didn’t work. But I wasn’t stressed about that. And they are pet friendly!
Jessica, 2-night trip

Love the Hippie Vibe!
Such a fun and cheerful place, love the retro hippie vibe. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The lobby is a fun place with fresh popcorn, donuts, coffee fresh lemonade and juice. There are fun souvenirs for purchase as well. One of our favorite things was the dog treat and dog tag special for our pup. It’s in a nice location close to everything and easy to navigate to and from. There is a lot of street traffic so if that’s something you’re not used to it may be bothersome but that’s to be expected considering it’s right off the street.
