Try too hard to be hip!

I wanted to like the Thunderbird Inn, but I couldn't as there are so many issues......and most of them stem from it trying to be 'hip' rather than good! And $20 to park in what is just a courtyard of a motel is madness. 1. Blinds with no curtains, so the room is far too bright at night as they don't keep the light out. 2. Five crazy 'cushions' rather than proper pillows. 3. Two cans of strange brand cola provided instead of water. 4. Two bright coloured biscuits from a sponsor (biscuits shouldn't be blue)! 5. Tow fancy chairs that are uncomfortable and too low to use at the desk / counter. 6. Infuriating auto light in the bathroom that came on any time I went near it. On top of this, my Aircon unit was spewing out small black particles all over my coffee making area (this should be investigated immediately). The other issue is that the place is right next to a very busy road and just after a set of traffic lights..... Heavy vehicles and buses pull away from here and the noise is extremely loud. I slept okay as I was tired, but light sleepers won't. Unfortunately, just not good enough.

This property is grimy. But staff are nice and helpful. I feel like this whole place needs a lemony power wash. Breakfast is sugary treats and coffee and juice. The doughnuts were delish.

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.

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!

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!

This is my favorite Savannah motel! Super cute theme, rooms are always very clean and beds are comfy. There is some noise from traffic but it’s not that bad. $20 a night for parking but that’s VERY reasonable! The lot also has an EV charger if you need one. Donuts in the morning are fantastic. My only complaint this trip was that there was an ashtray outside my room (room 119) and the smoke smell snuck in through the door when people were out there, but if they got rid of that smoking area and moved it away from the rooms, it would have been perfect! I will definitely be back!
