The Thunderbird Inn

Very cool and very retro. A wonderful, retro stylish spot for travelers passing through the area or visiting Savannah on a budget. Travelers should know they do allow pets in this hotel and sometimes I did hear a dog barking at night. It didn't bother me but I can see it bothering some others. Definitely go down in the mornings for the free donuts and coffee

Spent one night here on our road trip back home from Florida. We wanted to be close to the historical district so we could spend some time the next day. What a relief it was to have a clean and safe feeling room that didn’t break the bank. After several horrible rooms on our trip, we were very happy to check in, have a clean shower, spacious room, comfortable beds, and a working television. It’s getting harder and harder to find “park outside your room” hotels that are decent. Their branding is very fun, and the upkeep details are seen everywhere. I even noticed the paint touch up marks on the exterior to keep it looking bright and clean. This was impressive to me as a small business owner. These are the type of things that often get overlooked, and a business could look run down quickly without these details. The soap, lotion, shampoo were all branded and fun. But a hint, if you have very long hair like I do, use your own hair products. The provided ones are a great touch, but won’t get the job done if you have a lot of hair. The RC Cola and Moonpies were a unique touch (hint… warm up those moonpies in the provided microwave in your room. You’re welcome), and I was able to introduce my young adult son to the nostalgic RC flavor. The glass cups, and real coffee mugs were my biggest LOVE. Reminded me of family vacations when I was young. All in all… a stand up job of hospitality that is affordable in a tourist area. We loved the text message with details like WiFi password, etc. So do leave your phone number for them if you reserve online. It will get you needed info without having to search for that piece of paper we always lose between the lobby and the room. We paid an extra $15 to make sure we had parking on site. It looked like they had about 30 parking spaces, and two EV spaces. I didn’t exactly count the number of rooms, but it seemed to be about 40? So if it’s full up, you may want to secure a parking spot for the extra $15. In a nutshell: Fridge, microwave, coffee maker, hair dryer, shower with soap and shampoo pump bottles, real glasses, ice machine. Clean, comfortable, and welcoming. Plenty of DoorDash and Uber Eats options if you’re road tired and just want to relax.
