Disliked: Amenities
The vibe and colors seemed great in the listing but was lack lust in person. We waited to speak with staff for checking in and felt unsafe in our room since the room next door had access to ours with the double door suite access. Also the two chairs in the room were torn and dirty. The bed and sheets were clean and the moon pies and cola soda were nice to walk in to.

The Thunderbird Inn is a Savannah staple. It's proximity to downtown makes it walkable to most places and it's retro decor makes it hard to forget. We try to stay every time we're in Savannah.

The property itself, was very clean and great staff. It felt unsafe because the locks on the doors were horrible. Additionally, I put in the parameter of parking included in Travelocity. This property came up. At check in I was told parking was an additional $20. She said it was in the small print at the bottom. Kinda sneaky.

Overall this property was great with the location and convenience. The staff was so great and friendly. The room was mostly clean, just as long as I didn’t look too closely. Traffic at night was a little loud at times and I had to try and roll up a towel around the door to quiet it some. For the amount paid, I am happy with the property though.

The decor is really cute, it gives that 50-60's feel. I really enjoyed the RC they leave on the night stand. The free coffee, donuts, popcorn and lemonade was a nice touch too. The staff was really nice! Jackie on the night shift is awesome! My only issue was this black stuff coming from the a/c heater unit they had on the wall. Also to watch tv we had to cast it from our phones or Ipad, other than that everything was nice. The room was really clean and it was really close to River Street and other bars. We went for the St. Patty's parade, which was really nice. I'd stay there again. It was a bummer we had to pay $20 per day for parking.
