Loved our stay at the Thunderbird Inn. The front desk staff was terrific. I loved the moon pies and RC colas that were waiting for us in our room upon check-in. The location was great and walking distance to most of the tourist attractions. I would stay there again.

Staff was great! Towels were plush and the bed was comfortable. Affordable spot with convenient location for Savannah. The door stuck every time I tried to open it was the only annoying part of the stay.
Sweet little touch of complimentary moon pies and RC cola.

What a great place to stay in Savannah. It’s not the Hilton, but who needs that in Savannah with so much to do outside. The staff is spectacular from front desk to house keeping. I arrived early and Cindy stored my bag and called me when my room was ready (she is an all star). It’s convenient to everything and has a cool retro vibe. I will stay here again! Hopefully soon.
