It was ok
Sofia, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The rooms were clean and bright. The beds were comfortable and the RC Cola and mini moonpies were a lovely touch. It is an older, retro building so there is outside noise but it's a great spot for a short stay.

Cristian, 1-night trip

This property was retro. The staff was amazing and very friendly. They were able to offer an amazing dining option as well. They have a cute little pet area and a decent pet fee. If ever in Savannah, we will stay there again. Oh and dont forget the RC Cola and Moonpies.

Rebecca, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Staff are great and super nice! Room is clean but the shower leaked water out because the part that was suppose to contain the water is super shallow and the shower curtain was short so water just leaked out into the toilet area.

10/10 Excellent

Loved the look and amenities!
Kaitlyn, 3-night trip

4/10 Poor

The Thunderbird Inn's good times are long gone, as the property is in a very run-down condition. The website boasts of being one of the top 10 retro hotels in the USA, but this award dates back to 2014 and is therefore already outdated. While the Thunderbird Inn may have been very attractive years ago and a positive departure from many traditional US motels, I would not currently book this property and therefore would not recommend it to anyone.
