Excellent donuts for breakfast from a local bakery, plus delicious juices and coffee! Fun rooms - retro style. Close to so much- historic Savannah and SCAD!

It's a very nice retro-themed hotel. Street noise can be a little much for some people I'm sure, but didn't bother me at all. Rooms have everything you'll need. Would go back again for sure.

The hotel was absolutely amazing. The staff was very accommodating and helps me with any issues we had with booking which were 100% on my end

This hotel is adorable and so centrally located, we were able to walk everywhere to explore Savannah. The retro style was so neat and those glazed donuts were SO good! We loved the room because it was spacious and easy to reach the hotel.

This is a really cute little hotel. Great themed I ran into some small snags when I checked in. But the manager was very quick to correct it and help me out. And really turn this experience around. Would definitely stay here again.

So cute, super convenient location, 100% walk everywhere, very nice and helpful staff. Might be ready for a fresh coat of paint and a few maintenance touch ups inside the rooms since the last time we stayed, but the rooms were clean and comfortable so that’s what is most important. Main critique would be to make the hotel 100% non-smoking & speaker phone free as other guests stand outside the rooms or sit on the staircases and smoke with speaker phone on full volume.

Fun decor. Some signs of age to the room. Keycard did not work well. Had to try it several times before the door would open.

The room was very clean and the shower had a good water pressure. I liked the charm and retro feel of the place. Take note that there are no elevators and there is only 1 ice machine on the first floor.

I was welcomed at the front desk by a young man whose name was Wren. He was very professional and assisted me accordingly. Gave me some ideas about restaurants in the area and everything was relatively close. All of the weather was hot I preferred to walk and everything was great within a 10th of a mile and more. I took a gray line tour of the city and it was very enjoyable, there's a lot of history in Savannah. The bed in the hotel was awesome extremely comfortable and I slept like a baby. Very friendly staff very helpful. And when I checked out early, the front desk agent was very helpful also. She explained the refund process to me and how it worked because I had gone through Expedia. Expedia also did a great job. Thank you to the Thunderbird Inn, my next stay in Savannah will be with your hotel. By the way traffic goes by the hotel and can be loud, but when you're with someone or your TV is on or you fall asleep you don't even hear it. It is an old style Hotel, but very comfortable. Thank you again to the staff for the great stay I had.

It is a great place. Showers are small but the beds are so comfortable. Staff was wonderful. The check in was great and in the morning g they have the best donuts! It was great to stay in a place that was quiet and comfortable. Loved the old time feeling.

We had a really great time! It was myself and my children, and because they are homeschooled, we can get away during weekdays as opposed to only the weekends. So when my girlfriend‘s birthday landed on a Tuesday, it was a great opportunity to not only pop up on her as a surprise, but to spend a little bit of time in Savannah. I was looking for a budget friendly, kid friendly, centrally located hotel, and when I did a Google search and went on ChatGPT the Thunderbird Inn came up. I checked other people’s reviews and to my surprise everything was on the Up and Up. It’s right on Oglethorpe Avenue walking distance away from places like city market and River Street. We did a day at Tybee, visited with my friend, and then a little bit of River Street and historic Savannah. It was a great value for the money spent, and we will be back there when we come back to Savannah in July. The parking was great at only $25 per night versus $50 per night for other hotels in the area. I felt safe, beds were very comfortable, and it was really a great stay for the money. We loved the photo ops around the hotel and my sons loved the donuts, popcorn and lemonade. We will definitely stay again when we come back to Savannah.

10/10 as always. This is my second time staying here in 6 months and, despite it only being for a few hours due to my incredibly delayed train, the bed was SO comfortable and I had a wonderful hot shower and night’s sleep. Will always recommend this place/stay here when on a trip to Savannah. Also shout out to the super kind guy holding down the fort at night! He even reassured me he’d watch me walk to my room to make sure I got in alright since it was 3am when I got there (young woman, traveling solo). That gesture made me feel very safe and I really appreciated it. I will be back!
