Cute hotel but is on a busy street if you are a light sleeper. Was updated probably years ago and could use a refresh. The location is good for walking around.

A coupon I was told I'd receive was not available. In the room: 1.Lamp didn't work. 2.There was no brew basket in the coffee maker. We were told they might be able to find one, or maybe "the order would come in today." We never got it. 3.Initally there was no heat. We were told how to fix it by one person but it didn't work; another person fixed it easily on the second day by coming to our room. 4.There were no blankets supplied. Someone brought them when requested but they weren't very nice about it. 5.Our toilet clogged and we had to go to front desk for a plunger. We were told we were rude to the receptionist but that is completely untrue. Receptionist said a clogged toilet is less important than checking in a guest. 6.The phone didn't work in our friend's room; when asked if we could get a new one we were told they're "being phased out anyway". We were in the reception area and were told we could call the Hotel phone number; when we asked what it was, we were told "it's on the website." 7.Our room wasn't cleaned or straightened. When we asked we were told we needed to request that upfront. So we asked to have the room cleaned/straightened the second day and when we came back to the hotel in the late afternoon no one had done anything. 8. The keys we were given didn't work the first or second time. There was always 1 person on duty and most were friendly and perhaps overworked. But overall this was definitely not a place I'd ever stay at again or recommend.

Thunderbird Inn: A Soaring Stay with a Few Feather

We had an overall positive experience at the Thunderbird Inn. The staff and service were amazing, making our stay truly enjoyable. The convenience of being in downtown Savannah, with so many attractions within walking distance, was the main reason we chose this location. If I had any complaints, it would be that the inn could use some touch-ups, and the cleanliness of the rooms could be slightly improved. However, these minor issues wouldnā€™t prevent me from staying there again. A great choice for anyone visiting Savannah!
