“Great price, great location, wonderful staff and super pet friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

This is not a 4 star (not even a 3 star) hotel, but the staff is super! The price is right and the location is great. When we visit Savannah with and without our dog, we stay at the T-bird. The beds are comfortable and the rooms are clean. We park the car on Friday for our weekend stays and walk everywhere we want to go!

“Great stay for a great value!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We always stay at The Thunderbird Inn when we go to Savannah, GA. Great value. Great, friendly staff. Right in downtown Savannah, an easy walk to River Street. We stayed here during the Rock and Roll Savannah Marathon in 2011 and 2012. We love it!

“Nice Hotel and Convenient”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

This was my fourth stay. I enjoy this motel quite a bit. The office staff is polite and friendly. The rates are great, especially if you book on line. The rooms are clean, and the beds are comfortable. What you pay for is exactly what you get. You need to check in early, because finding a parking spot can be difficult. The Historic District is within easy walking distance.

Room Tip: Book on line and request a downstairs room, otherwise you have to lug your stuff upstairs.

“Awesome!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012 via mobile

Excellent inn for the price! Clean, friendly stuff, FREE breakfast (Krispy Kreme's donuts and a variety of coffee, tea, juice, and syrups), very close to the Trolley tours (around the corner), and to the River View street. My wife and I are happy and satisfied! A+++

Extremely friendly & helpful staff. Great rate, in walking distance to restaurants, pubs, shops etc. Very clean. Love the colors, style and design. Fun place! My husband and I spent 4 nights. No complaints! Would definitely stay again.
