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.

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.

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.

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!

Unique location with everything we needed for our short visit. Moon pies and RC cola made my son quite happy as well as the Krispy Kream. Beds were comfortable and parking was simple.

Great spot and location!
Loved this little corner gem. Quick to visit the greatest restaurants and shops and even River St. was very close. I enjoyed The moon pies, the neon lights, and the classicness. The heater didn’t work and it was 35 degrees so I hope they look into room 111! Loved that they had keychains with the room numbers! I got Mine! Thanks Thunderbird!
