Comfy cute cheap retro

Fun few days at TBird Inn. Retro hotel nearctrolley stations. Convenient to historic district. Rooms clean, not fancy but for the price, clean room and comfy bed works for me. Shower could use more pressure. Fonuts in morning yummy treat.

Thunderbird is the Stuff

This was a fun place and we will def be back!! One night was not enough. I'm not a fan of paying to park but I get it in this area. The fun decor and great staff made this a fun stay.
R Scott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cute motel - price was very reasonable.

I really liked the look of it . The moon pies and RC colas in the room were fun. Great donuts in the morning. Air conditioning was great. Only complaint was that our room key deactivated a couple times. I had to go get it reactivated. It wasa little noisey being close to the road and its a bit of a walk to get to restaurants etc. Overall i liked it and would stay again.
Candice, 3-night trip

Fun place to stay

We had a quick 2 nights in Savannah and the hotel was convenient to many restaurants, the trolley, and a shuttle to enmarket arena. The other reviews were pretty much spot on. The AC doesn't get the room cold and our keys didn't work twice, I had to get them reprogrammed, but the room was clean and the quaint touches made it an unforgettable stay!!

Savannah Stopover

The cute Thunderbird Inn met our needs for a one night stay. The bed was comfortable and our room was quiet. Front desk employees were friendly and welcoming. Coffee, donuts and juice in the lobby were a nice and unexpected touch for the room price.

Perfect place to stay 10 mins walk from downtown. Very nice staff and rooms are perfectly equipped.
judith, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Mediocre at best

Way over hyped and over filtered pics. Room was gross and worn out. AC was ok but understandable since it was summer temps. Parking was overpriced. No pool. It is just an old motel with some paint slapped on it. Just find another place unless this place is the cheapest and you are on a budget.
CHRISTOPHER, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful stay with a great aesthetic. Literally met the nicest front desk lady from my entire trip who also gave great advice for somebody whose never been in the city. I ended up having a great night thanks to the staff here.

Kurt, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Our 2 night stay at the Thunderbird inn was very good! Love the retro feel and little details like complimentary hot popcorn, coffee, donuts and the RC Cola and moon pies!! Room was clean and spacious also not too far to walk to the main bars and restaurants!!
Darren, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Everything was perfect!

The stay here was unforgettable! It reminded us of old times and was just the most unique experience. On a more practical note: the rooms were clean, the beds were comfy, and the little extras (popcorn, lemonade, RC Cola, Moon Pies, and fresh donuts) made it feel so fun and accommodating. Plus, if you’re taking the Old Town Trolley tour, you’re only a 5 minute or less walk to stop #2. Leave your car parked at the hotel and hop on and off the trolley for the day! So convenient!!! We will definitely stay again!
Krystal, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay for the price and area

Okay experience for a family of 4. We won’t stay again thought. The walls are incredibly thin, so we could hear the tv and conversation in the next room. We also kept getting someone else’s phone signal projected onto our TV mid show, happened 5-6 times every night. The bed was fine, shower was fine and although the hotel has been updated cosmetically, it hasn’t been updated structurally.
