RC Cola and Moon Pies await your check-in! This was a fun place to stay and the rooms were amazingly quiet to outside noise and neighbor noise. Convenient walks to the historic distict. And the staff is one of a kind - helpful friendly and knowledgable.

I will never wait 3 weeks before a holiday weekend to book a hotel! What was I thinking? I tried our usual hotel (Hampton Inn) but of course it was booked along with every other hotel in the Historic District at this time. Believe me I tried them all. So... I put my trust in the opinions of those on... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. Quirky, priced right, located downtown. The only issue was that our rooms kept getting half-done. The first day, our trash wasn't changed and we had to ask for towels and coffee. Also, our coffee mugs and glasses weren't refreshed. On the second day, our ice container and coffee weren't replaced. It really wasn't that... More

What a great and hip place! Loved the decor - so fun! Bobby at the front desk was awesome! Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Such a nice and fun guy and wow what a surprise! Never stayed at a Thunderbird Inn - when in Savannah in the future - I WILL STAY HERE AGAIN!

Great staff - very friendly & helpful. Can't beat the location; Savannah is a very walkable city. The best part was how pet friendly the hotel is. They had doggie treats and charms for their collars upon arrival. I thought it was a nice touch. Best of all, we got the room for under $100 per night!

Go in without thinking that you're checking into the Ritz and you won't be disappointed. Many people expect to pay pennies for 4*, it's just not going to happen. The Thunderbird offers a good location, clean rooms and best of all, COMFY beds! Oh, and free parking and free internet. That's all we needed. We didn't get any moon pies... More

It's a gussied-up Motel 6 or TravelLodge situation - they did a good job with the refurb, don't get me wrong. And the style of service is cute - free donuts, moon pies, RC cola, etc. It's pet friendly and that is a HUGE plus. It is also walkable to all of the cool downtown spots and the riverfront. I...

At first glance, the Thunderbird Inn doesn't look too impressive, but the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. They give you complimentary MoonPies and RC Cola, too!! It was a great stay, and walking distance to everything we wanted to do.

We didn't know what to expect as we approached this rehabbed "retro" hotel. In additional to a reasonable proce, we found hospitality (Bobby at the registration desk was great), clean, updated rooms, low noise factor, and (wow) RC Colas and Moonpies on one evening. Walking distance to the historic area. What more could we ask.

We traveled from Ft. Lauderdale, FL en route back home to North Carolina and decided to stay at the Thunderbird Inn after reading such good reviews online. We could have afforded to stay at a place that was about $50-75 more but after seeing the great reviews, I went ahead and booked a room at the Thunderbird Inn. We were... More
