This motel is retro, eclectic, and in a great location. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and I especially enjoyed the extra little pieces of "flare" they add - the shampoo bottles and body soap, the 70's style music at the front desk, etc. Another huge plus: You get RC Colas and moon pies when you check in,...

The Thunderbird was a Hotwire.com find for me and I will say that I was pleasantly surprised. It is in a good location and the historic district is just a few blocks away. This is your classic 1950's Motel all redone in Hipster swag and fashion. My room was clean, quiet and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Not... More

I have stayed at Thunderbird twice now, and will absolutely return! Retro cool, clean, comfortable, uncommonly accommodating staff, pet friendly (really!!), and so convenient to historic sites and riverfront districts. It is also very reasonable in a city of pricey hotels. I will always call here first, and hope that I can stay with them.

Overall, our two night stay was very good. The room was clean and neat. The mint moon pies on the pillows were awesome! The walk to "downtown" and the river front restaurants was a little longer than we had hoped, but the front desk told us about the Savannah Hopper service who came to pick us up in an extended...

The RC colas and Moonpies were tasty and refreshing after a hot day of touring. Staff very friendly and accommodating, they even agreed to have my package picked up by their postal carrier, as it was a holiday weekend and I was not able to drop it off. They also printed my boarding pass for me. The room was comfortable,... More

OMG! First of all, I have to say, I though I posted this review last summer. Something must have not taken. That being said: I did not even know places like this still existed! I took the kids just for fun and they were amazed. They loved the kitschiness of the whole place. When we first drove up, I was... More

The good: VERY affordable (nearly half the price of other historic district places in a similar star range), incredible location one block from the historic district, cheap and easy parking ($5/night), cool kitschy things like moon pies and krispy kreme doughnuts. Not so good: I didn't find the staff helpful. I continually dealt with one person in particular who was... More

I arrived at this hotel unfortunately I had booked the wrong hotel. The receptionist Spencer Davis was extremely helpful in printing out directions and if I was ever to stay in Savannah again I would stay there due mere to the fact that the staff are so friendly and as I am a front office supervisor in a hotel this...

We took our 30-something year-old children and their fiance's to Savannah for a weekend and our daughter suggested the Thunderbird. She had stayed there several times with friends and loved it (did I mention she is 30?) I began to second-guess our decision when a police officer who gave us directions asked, "Why are you staying there?", and "Have you... More
