Good choice in Savannah

We really like the Thunderbird. The location is great, the people are very nice, and you don't have to use valet parking. The rooms seem clean overall, but the one we stayed in could use a deep cleaning.

Cute place but very loud

The motel is right on a major street and was very loud day and night. Only television was hooking up to your personal streaming service. We also saw nothing about paying for parking in the reservation system. Only breakfast option was a donut. Most of staff was friendly, but one was very short and snappy. It’s a cute place though.

Positive first. Friendly staff, good donuts. Negative; $25 per night for parking, no microwave in room, overpowering smell of bleach, one coffee cup and no channels on tv. I had to stream Netflix from my phone to watch ANYTHING. I might expect this for $50, but it was $150. Easily one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed.

Externally, the building is somewhat shabby. Room is clean and quite adequate. On Expedia, the listing says all taxes and fees included in the quoted price, so I was unpleasantly surprised to discover that I had to pay a $25 fee for a parking space in a parking lot that is open to the street and offers no particular security for customers’ vehicles. Really disappointed. It feels like a bait and switch. I certainly will not use this property again.

This is a cute place and was fine for one night after a long road trip. However, it is $25 to park (which was not mentioned when I booked) and there is an extremely noisy fan in the bathroom that will not turn off. When we mentioned it to the staff she just said, "yeah, the best thing is to close the bathroom door!" The theme is cute and it is giving "old fashioned motel" vibes...but it needs some updating :-)

Everything was great with the value that I got from this place. Like they say, nostalgia really does live here so it was cool to relive an era we don’t really see anymore. My only feedback is that the mini fridge don’t really cool anything down and the power outlets didn’t really charge that fast. My computer was plugged in for several ours and only went up 15%.

Was welcomed warmly to this little folksy motel/inn. However wasn’t ready for the interior condition. Not clean or well kept. It’s a colorful place but be ready for not manicured. The historic district location is hard to beat though.

Nice retro hotel

We have doctors in Savannah. Its much easier to come up from Brunswick for a very early morning appt. We've wanted to stay there and were not disappointed. The staff is great, beds very comfortable, wonderful coffee and popcorn in the evening. We'd stay there again.
