Hotel Details

Location

Located on the edge of Savannah's historic district, a 5-minute walk from downtown and 11 minutes from City Market.
The Thunderbird Inn sits along a main road, with the historic district, River Street shops (750 m), and Savannah College of Art and Design (1 km) within easy walking distance. The transit station directly opposite provides free DOT shuttle access across the city, making car-free exploration convenient. Traffic noise can be notable, especially in road-facing rooms, and nearby dining options include Stoner's Pizza Joint (0.5 km) and Carlito's Mexican Bar & Grill (0.5 km). Parking is on-site but limited to 32 spaces.

Accommodation

Vintage-style rooms with air conditioning, heating, private bathroom, 43-inch TV, refrigerator, and coffee machine.
Rooms feature a retro aesthetic with parquet floors, outdoor entrances, and no balcony. Options include single queen, double queen, single king, or king suites. All rooms have a private bathroom, and rooms with two queen beds cannot accommodate a rollaway cot (one cot is available for king rooms at $10/night, first-come, first-served). While spacious, the furniture and decor can show signs of wear, and room sizes vary-single queen rooms may lack seating. Comfort is enhanced by Simmons pillow-top mattresses, but road-facing rooms can be noisy due to traffic.

Dining

Complimentary breakfast includes coffee, juice, and fresh donuts from Baker's Pride bakery each morning.
Breakfast consists of coffee, orange and apple juice, and fresh donuts and pastries from a local bakery, served with ceramic cups and plates. No hot dishes are available. The lobby offers hot popcorn daily, and each room includes complimentary moonpies and RC colas. There is no on-site restaurant; a snack bar is available.
