Really great stay! My only thing to note is that the building is a bit older, so insulation around the doors isn’t great and made it easy for outside noise to come in. Being so close to a main road, the traffic noise at night could be disruptive. But other than that, everything else was wonderful! The rooms are clean and spacious, and I loved how pet friendly the Thunderbird was for my pup. The location was also amazing and super walkable to the riverfront, shops, and only about a mile from Forsyth park!

We stayed here again while visiting historic Savannah. We like the retro vibe of the hotel, friendliness of the staff, fresh donuts and coffee in the morning and location is within walking distance to most everything. A special shout out to Leslie who was very attentive to our needs prior to arriving and during our stay. Her smile and willingness to deliver extraordinary service is recognized!

I stay at The Thunderbird whenever I visit Savannah. The location is perfect. Everything is always great, but it could use a few renovations. It's also located right on a main roadway, so it gets very noisy in the mornings. I recommend bringing earplugs if you want to sleep in. The donuts they have for breakfast are excellent!

I was disappointed in not being aware of reserving parking. I was told it was on the website, but I only saw that "On-site parking was available for $15/night". When we got there, no parking was available. We were told we had to reserve ahead of time and try to park on the street or look for a garage. This should be in bold on the website to reserve ahead. Also, note no elevator if you stay on the 2nd level. The room smelled clean, and the sheets were, so that's a positive. However, the sink had whiskers in it from the previous tenants. So, I needed to clean the entire sink area on my own. The walls in the whole space and baseboard need painting, and the caulking in the bathroom area needs to be replaced. I also found the road traffic to be loud. Overall, I was disappointed.

The staff was outstanding. Annie went above and beyond to answer our questions. Wren, nite shift was so kind when we asked for a food recommendation near by. He had excellent ideas. The fresh coffee each morning along with exceptional bakery donuts was such a treat . The vibe is fun, clean, adequate accommodations with a retro twist. Close to historical district and River Street. Just loved it.

Good property if you want a more budget-friendly stay. Pet-friendly with parking, across from transit center, but close enough to walk to attractions or to nearby bus/Trolley stops. Good value for where and what it is. I would suggest they invest in blackout curtains, as the light and sound was my only “complaint” but still very typical for a street-facing motel inn. I usually see these curtains at motels to cover the blinds and I find them helpful. Otherwise very clean and felt very safe. SCAD dorms and buildings all around, as well as Savannah welcome center for Old Town Trolley next door, Savannah info center, coffee shop & museums very close. Staff was super friendly.

I was surprise first when artived that it was a motel, but once i entered the room i loved it. Love the matress and sheets, good cable, tasty decor and room and bathrooms were redone with an impecable taste, roomy and comfy. Friendly staff, little details like providing a tray and nice cups for breakfast, etc. It was a walking distance to most attractions and to the highways since Savannah is not that big. Safe area.

Loved the vibe of the property. A lot of fun to feel like you’re staying in a blast from the past. The property has been updated, but it does have some room for improvement. There’s water stains that are seen through the paint and water damage around the bottom of the bathroom door. It’s also right on the corner of two busy streets so I’d recommend using a noise machine app/ear plugs and bring an eye mask to block some of the outside light that comes in. All in all it was a fun place to stay and we would likely stay again!
