Location was great for us while visiting our child at SCAD. Staff was friendly. Negatives: Bed is hard as a brick. AC was stuggle to keep the room cooled and the walls are very thin. We could hear others talking in the rooms next to us.

Liked: Amenities
Our stay overall was ok, not great. Considering how expensive Savannah can be on the weekends, I suppose the Thunderbird Inn provides relatively good value. The location is great, the amenities in the lobby were great, and music playing around the grounds is fun. Not so great: the front desk staff lacked basic customer service training in politeness and friendliness. No Hello's or Welcome's or eye contact at check in. We were given a room on the ground floor behind the office. The area outside our door was dark and dingy. Our room was tired and worn out. Stains on the countertop, dust on the fixtures and AC, and the bathroom grout needed a deep cleaning. Can’t give more than 3 stars. It is what it is.

Conveniently located next to city tour trolley service and historic district. Clean and good rooms in a retro motel. Excellent complimentary donuts in office and moonpies on pillows. Downside was an undisclosed $22 parking charge and no cable or satellite tv service. ( only way to watch tv was to cast our own streaming app program from our phone) . Traffic noise quite loud and a/c unit fan didn’t mask it.

If you’re looking for a place that is no thrills, clean and safe. This is it. I do agree with some of the other comments. The floors do need a good cleaning. I will be staying sporadically in Savannah the next year and will stay here without hesitation.

Clean rooms and a comfortable bed

Very comfortable bed, very clean rooms and clean property. Parking is extra ($20/day)and limited and the sleep is very noisy (we had a fan and ac running so we still slept well). The location is on the west side of the historic district with a short 2 to 3 block walk to the west end of the river front.
