Great stay!
I absolutely loved the Retro look & feel of The Thunderbird Inn! The fresh popcorn & cold juice were delicious & the room was neat & clean. Young man at the front desk was very helpful; marked our map with all the places we wanted to visit & even cheered for us finding a geocache!

Cute place with strong cleaning fumes in the room
When we checked in there was a very strong cleaner smell ( like a strong bleach but staff says they don’t use bleach ). At any rate the strong cleaner smell made me cough all night with a scratchy throat .

The place is nice but the guy at the front desk was rude and not attentive. We had a toilet issue in our room and he said nobody can help because he was not there to do resiove that problem. That person never greet or smile to guests. He looked to be tired of this place.

Property wasn’t far from Enmarket Arena or downtown Savannah..literally around a mile to both! The decor was cute along with the 50’s style music in the background playing and the mini moon pies and RC Cola in your room ❤️ would definitely stay again!

Not very relaxing place, very noisy. Small pillows. Not a very comfortable bed. Dusty all over. The original place is very outdated. They are trying, but not much you can do. Donuts was nice, but can’t fix everything 😳 Last minute booking due hurricane Milton. Cat fee was $50, parking charge as well. It wasn’t our first time in Savannah we stayed better place for $200 a night. It wasn’t worth it to be honest, but we had no choice. Location is good…
