I stay at The Thunderbird whenever I visit Savannah. The location is perfect. Everything is always great, but it could use a few renovations. It's also located right on a main roadway, so it gets very noisy in the mornings. I recommend bringing earplugs if you want to sleep in. The donuts they have for breakfast are excellent!
